This a bargain food I found at my local grocer. What does everyone think.
Looks pretty good think i might make the switch.

Sounds like you are going to get what you pay for if it's a bargain. How much of a bargain is it? Doesn't sound horrible but eh, it's not impressive. I'm not a fan of corn in any food.

[corehevico]

What would be your main concern with this food. Meats are first with corn further down the list. Cant see myself paying 60-80$ for a bag of dog food.

What are you feeding now?? and why do you want to switch??

I've heard good reviews on the Kirkland brand at Cosco's if you are looking for a bargain.

Corn is a common allergen in dogs, so we avoid it in the food we feed our dogs. Also, the menadione sodium bisulfite has been implicated as a carcinogen. It's an artificial form of Vitamin K (K3) and natural sources of Vitamin K are much better. The food is pretty grain heavy--rice, barley and corn. For all those reasons, I wouldn't recommend it if you can find something better in your price range.

[corehevico]

The reason I am switching is we recently added a pup to our family and during my research into foods I came to the realization that our current national brand is not all that good. Really corn heavy. So that is why I am interested in this food. Its better than what we currently feed our pack. And the nearest costco is over an hour away.

IMO most grocer dog food is full of fillers and grains and not the best for your pups.
