[QUOTE="donna723, post: 234664, member: 1883"] Susie, it's [URL="http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com"]www.dogfoodanalysis.com[/URL]. It's a real eye-opener! Some of the pet foods that are advertised as being so 'healthy', like Beneful and Purina, are ranked right down at the very bottom! Basically, you want to look for a food where a protein source (meat, poultry or fish) is the FIRST ingredient listed. There should be NO CORN or wheat - it's just a filler. Dogs can't digest corn and corn and wheat are very common allergens in dogs and cause skin or digestive problems. They may call it "gluten" or whatever, but it's still not good for them. If it has grains, it should be wholesome easily digested grains like oatmeal or rice. There should be NO artificial colors or flavors. The good foods without corn are virtually impossible to find in the grocery store or Walmart or even Petsmart. You have to find an independent pet supply store. If you go to the websites for some of the better foods, they usually have a place that will list stores that sell it. [/QUOTE]
