Anyone else notice that ALL of the flavors listed have "Chicken meal" and Chicken fat?

So even if someone was inclined to think that Pukeanuba was a good food, and thought one of these formulas would be good for an "allergy" dog, they probably would be WRONG.

I can't believe you guys are beating up on poor old Eukanuba. I mean, isn't that good food. It sure costs a lot!

Just out of curiosity what is wrong with the ingredient list?

Nothing especially wrong with the ingredients list (it's not horrid, but also far from stellare IMO), but it does seem at odds with the market it seems they are trying to target. I think it pretty obvious from the nifty, exotic names and price tag they are trying to capture part of the market of people buying the more premium brands and many of the grain free foods.

Yet while the names and price tag and marketing are comparable to foods like TOTW, Evo, Core, Timberwolf, Bark at the Moon, etc... the ingredients list are not. I wonder how many people will be fooled by the names and price tag without actually comparing the ingredients? Probably quite a lot, and I'd be that's exactly what Euk is hoping for.

What Chris said.
Well I think it's a horrible food for the price but what I meant by my post is what Chris said.
