I know corn is not good.

It also has a lot of stuff that i dont know what it is:confused:

oh yea, if you go to the innova website, they have a food compare tool where they explain all the ingredients. check to see if this food is on there.

I'll take a stab at it.:)

Aside from other personal reasons I would not feed.......

Beet pulp causes tear stains, try to feed a food without the added salt, (sodium is present naturally plus there are other ingredients that alrady contain sodium on there), meniadone is not a good idea (google it up and do some reasearch to learn why). ;)

It's not the the worst food out there but I believe there are better choices.

Good luck :thumbup:
