I like Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul brand dog foods very much.
Firstof all you're talking about plain old Dog Chow, and that's NOT what I was referring to.Originally Posted By: Powell >People have used Purina for YEARS, and many >breeders/exhibitors still stick by it.
That's because they don't know any better.
Here's the first line of ingredients.
Ingredients
Whole grain corn, chicken by-product meal, corn gluten meal, brewers rice, soybean meal,
Corn is a poorly if not undigestible ingredient. ESPECIALLY for Northern Breeds. GSD is that. Soybean is a total NO NO. NOT digestible at all.
My friend was donated some Purina for his Husky rescue. They lost weight and looked awful.
Also look at what amount you have to feed. The better quality foods require less. No, Chicken Soup is not "too rich". It has quality ingredients. In fact when switching from a low quality to a high quality food, you need to mix it over a period of a few weeks. Well, you don't have to but you will have VERY runny poo.
You don't find quality dog food in grocery stores and department stores.

Do you believe it is "expensive grocery store food"? It is inexpensive and it can be found at grocery stores.Originally Posted By: tibvixie101i dont believe that purina is "inexpenisive grocery store food".
But look at your first four ingredients...1 meat source and 3 grain sources.
