We started our Penny on this when we brought her home (Lucky was on the Preventative Formula). I thought it was one of the best foods because the vet recommended and sold it...and I trusted his word  .
Dry - Development Formula
Chicken Meal, Brewers Rice, Oat Flour, Corn, Chicken Fat (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols, Rosemary Extract, Citric Acid and Lecithin), Dried Whole Egg, Fish Meal, Yeast Culture, Beet Pulp, Cranberry Meal, Tomato Pomace (Source of Lycopene), Flax Meal, Chicken Digest, Minerals (Dicalcium Phosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Monosodium Phosphate, Zinc Oxide, Zinc Proteinate, Ferrous Sulphate, Iron Proteinate, Manganous Oxide, Copper Sulphate, Copper Bioplex, Calcium Iodate and Organic Selenium), Fructo-Oligosaccharides, Taurine, DL-Methionine, L-Lysine, Vitamins (Choline Chloride, Vitamin E, Inositol, Vitamin C, Niacin, Ascorbyl Polyphosphate, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Beta-Carotene, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin A Acetate, Folic Acid, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex, Biotin, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3), Bacillus Subtilis Dried Fermentation Extract, L-Carnitine, L-Glutamine, Docosahexanoic Acid and Alpha-Lipoic Acid.
First, many dogs can be intolerant to corn, and imo, it's a cheap filler. The other highlighted ingredients are some of the ones you'd want to avoid as recommended by the Dog Food Project: http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index....badingredients
