Ingredients are listed in order of quantity so it has quite a lot of maize in it so I doubt it's a real top quality food ? there's no broken glass in it so it's not Bakers, I would have a wild guess it's Wainwrights or Pets at Homes own brand or similar ?

That was sooooo funny

I suppose it's all of matter of personal choice - some foods suit some pooches better than others - but as this thread says - there appears to be alot of maize in it

How soon do we have to wait for the answer lol

Its got a lot of grain in it, the first 4 ingredients tell you what there is most of in a food.
I would buy a small bag of this and see what your pup thinks. Also have a look at the poo, as gross as this sounds....if it looks like grains at the other end, then your puppy isnt digesting the food.
Poop should look like poop, not grains or undigested food bits.....

lol never mind some dogs - gluten has this effect with me - so I buy gluten / wheat free kibble as I was diagnosed with celiac and when they give me a pooch kiss it used to make me so ill

Whoops - waffling again lol
