My lil girl loves this food. It also seems to last forever and poops were minimal indicating not a lot of fillers. Getting ready to move to adult food after I get through my bags I’ve already ordered. I’m hoping the adult food will be as amazing for Marley.

Can anyone who actually feeds this to their dog explain how it is acceptable with a list of things like by products, corn, what gluten, vegetable oil, etc??. And

Can anyone who actually feeds this to their dog explain how it is acceptable with a list of things like by products, corn, what gluten, vegetable oil, etc??. And it is veterinarian approved, which translates to kickbacks for promoting this product.
