Kibbles ‘N Bits

Three of the first four ingredients are cheap grains that aren’t needed by your dog. Is it any wonder why the protein percentage (19%) is extremely low in this food? When your food is comprised mostly of grains your dog would do better without, there isn’t much guesswork. The main animal protein source comes from the extremely cheap and disgusting “beef and bone meal”. At least they tell you it’s beef and not “meat”.
However, corn syrup is the 6th ingredient. Sugar is absolutely unnecessary and is only included to improve the taste of an otherwise crappy food. It’s not there for their health, but only to make your dog agree to eat it. What’s more, “wheat middlings”, also known as “floor sweepings” comes in next. The yummy “animal digest” (check the glossary) comes in 9th, further sending this food into the gutter. Also, the loads of artificial colors are just not a good addition at all.
Heinz should stick to making ketchup, not pet foods.
Where to buy?
What’s good about this food….
Not a single thing.
….and what’s not so good.
