How would you rate this food?

I am thinking about switching my dog over to this brand of food (see below for link) and was wondering if any of you feed it, or have fed it. What would you rate this dog food out of 10? Would you feed it to your dog? Thanks in advance.

I don't think it;'s a brand we get here in the uk so I had a quick look at the ingredients. The thing I would worry about is the poultry flavour, it doesn't say whether it's artificial or real. I try to avoid any product with artificial additives.

So long as your dog has no allergy to any of the particular ingrediants (corn for instance - etc) and does ok on it then it seems pretty standard to me - as far as dry dog food goes and should be fine It has it's fair amount of 'filler' ingrediants but then show me a dry dog food that doesn't - Some will have more than others - you could look out for a food with less fillers but if this suits your dog and your happy with the price it'll be ok.

It's all very well giving you the ingredients on a package, but to what proportion are the ingredients. ie: % of protien, ash, calcium etc,

You should care, giving a young puppy too much protien can do more damage then good.
Puppies should be brought on slowly, let the young bones and joints develop before putting on too much weight.
Young dogs can be ruined by an inappropriate diet.

I'd bin it as well, Eukaneba is a good start for any puppy.
