Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Purina sells this as digestive and immune support. The guaranteed 600 million CFU per pound means live bacteria are present, but a dog's response depends on the strain. This is no treatment for persistent gut trouble.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Chicken leads, but rice and two corn ingredients occupy three of the first five spots. Plants play a substantial role in this recipe.
- 1 Chicken
- 2 Rice
- 3 Corn Gluten Meal
- 5 Whole Grain Corn
