Why in the world would any dog food manufacturer put this much brewers dried yeast in their product. Â Chicken meal contains a very tiny amount of glucosamine and this is the only company to make such a ridiculous statement. Fish oil is an unknown product which most likely contains Ethoxyquin, a preservative banned in human food. All the grains are low quality grains. Seeing beet pulp this high tells us they had an issue with diarrhea with this food. Salt should not be in dogs food. Menadione sodium bisulfite complex is a synthetic Vitamin which is very harmful to dogs, to include serious liver issues. This is a very low grade dog food.
