[QUOTE="donna723, post: 297212, member: 1883"] MWM, check on the [URL="http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com"]www.dogfoodanalysis.com[/URL] website and see how Purina measures up to some of the other foods. The Lamb & Rice may be OK in a pinch but for the most part, Purina is junk food for dogs! Here I go on my soap box again, but ... one thing we've discussed at length on my "other" board I go on, my dog board, is dog foods!
