Show Off Your Dogs (of The K-9 Variety)

I feed my pup Taste of the wild

Good stuff.
How did you find that?

I do not agree with you.
Science Diet is one of the inferior dog foods on the market. Because it's sold or recommended by veterinarians, it doesn't automatically make good pet food.
Simply clever marketing.
I would never feed my dog anything with over 50 ingredients, 45 of which are completely useless to him.

All I know is I ran with everything known to man to avoid science diets cost… doing research it is one of the few that adds good minerals and other things needed besides protein. Protein has been an issue with my black lab causing her to lose hair during her heat. Too much protein is actually not good for dogs and bag grain fillers are awful for them. In my house anyway science diet won

Have to agree with @TheStig on this, science diet isn't even in the top ten. I've been feeding them Taste of the Wild, it's a good food but they are fart factories with both brands I have tried. Maybe I'm just doomed to be fumed

Might try a fish or lamb based protein food… those came in a close second in my whittling down to what worked

The main problem is, that they put everything in it except meat.
Also they do not declare the amount of each ingredient.
The cost of the dog food is the least of my concerns.
Basically you have no idea what you feeding your dog.

That’s their basic line and honestly the minerals in that list and grains are all recommended in a balanced diet… I have to run with the lamb formula which is even better… the foods that base the ingredients on protein with very little of anything else has been proven to cause harm in the long term. Dogs are like any other living thing and need many elements of minerals, fibers, fats, and real grains not fillers… I use the lamb diet… the words are fancy in the ingredient list yes but nothing there is a filler or chemical that are non organic or gmo
