Extra Comments:

This food is rather high quality in the world of commercial pet foods who always cut corners. However, this brand has a lot of room to improve. For example, add more meat to boost the protein levels in the food. 23% is way too low by my standards, it should be 30% or higher. Also, the inclusion of grains is a huge blow to the rating of this product.
