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
