I seen it at walmart last week they had a whole end set up for her dog and cat food
OK, so far I see the corn meal, not so good, right?
It's not amazing food but it's better than all the other dog food you'll see in Wal-Mart or other grocery stores. Good for her for making her own dog food and not just copying what everyone has.
Well the first two ingredients are a meat and a meat meal which is always better than the cheaper corn based meals.

Ellens Halo food is better!

If the price is right on Rachel's food... and someone is set on shopping at Walmart, then i'd recommend it.
Based upon the ingredient list, what do you think?

I'll stick with EVO - no more grains or glutens for my dogs. Beet Pulp is the filler Iams used to use - don't know about now since I haven't bought it in years and years.

Two proteins - chicken and beef - animal is not specified.

I guess if you choose to use a supermarket food and your dog does well on it, go for it.

i'm confused by your statement because those are specified meat sources- i would stay away if it said just meat or poultry.

anyway, the ingredients are far from fantastic, but compared to other foods walmart has- its better than those (ol roy, puppy chow, beneful, etc)

for me, whole eggs are an acceptable protein... but i see your point chicken liver & salmon are nice additions, but too far down on the list. especially for halo prices!
