I have a 7 mo labrador who is on this diet since few months. He doesnt seem to enjoy any problems. But I was worried about his growth. Ho is 21 inches tall. Is he well brought-up?
Do any of you guys have let me know..?
Your list there looks REALLY SUPER good as far as I can see. If you want to you can switch him, a moment ago do it slowly over a couple weeks so he doesn't get sick.
That looks like a really accurate food.
I have a labrador, too. The protein content is good, and the ingredient list have meat as its first 2 ingredients.
Answers: It looked /okay/ until I got to the corn gluten breakfast time. I wouldn't feed it.
Not all pet food is made equally. A lot of it is full of corn, by-products, dyes, unhealthy preservatives, filler grain and all sorts of nasty stuff. A lot of pet food companies are perfectly sunny to the dump cheap leftovers and things that aren't safe for human consumption (from human food processing plants) into their foods. Will it kill your dog? No, it have to be nutritionally complete and safe to even be marketed. Is it stout? Not by a long shot.
Corn is a low quality ingredient you never want to see in your pet food. Corn and low quality grain are two of the biggest culprits when it comes to food allergies in our pets.
Thankfully, there are some excellent dog foods being made at the present time that include organic, human grade ingredients rather than trash not fit for human consumption.
Examples of low talent foods to avoid: Anything you can find in a grocery store will be low end, Purina, Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, Royal Canin, Pedigree, Kibbles n' Bits, Beneful, Ol'Roy.
Examples of high standard foods to look for: Innova, Wellness, Solid Gold, Canidae All Life Stages, Fromm Four Star, Merrick, GO Natural, Nature's Variety Prairie, Nature's Logic, Artemis Fresh Mix, Timberwolf Organics.
Although the high quality foods are more expensive, you're getting what you're paying for. Less filler material mode more concentrated nutrients... this means you typically need to feed far smaller amount of the high quality food than you would of the low quality one. Which also resources less poop!
Before following your vet's food recommendation, keep surrounded by mind that vets get /very/ little nutritional training during their schooling. Besides that, what training they /do/ procure is usually sponsored or taught by the crappy pet food companies! They also often get hold of paid to sell some of their products at their clinics (Science Diet, Royal Canin etc.)
A great option is to turn with an entirely grainless diet. Many of the high quality foods immediately put out grainless formulas. Some good grainless diets include: Innova EVO, Wellness CORE, Blue Wilderness, Nature's Variety Instinct, Orijen, Horizon Legacy, Merrick Before Grain, Canidae Grain Free All Life Stages, Fromm Surf & Turf, Now! and Sold Gold Barking At The Moon, Taste of the Wild.
Some pretty decent foods can even be found in adjectives pet stores. Petsmart carries Blue Buffalo products (such as the excellent grain free diet Blue Wilderness). Petco carries Wellness, Solid Gold, Natural Balance, Eagle Pack Holistic, Blue Buffalo, Castor & Pollux Organix, Pinnacle, and Halo. If you can't find a food, most of the large quality food brands have websites with store locators on them.
Another route, if you can't find anywhere around you that sells good foods, is to proclaim your pet food online. Here's an excellent place to do so: http://www.petfooddirect.com/store/
Remember that foods should be switched gradually (mixing new slowly in next to the old over about a two week period), especially when switching to a better quality one, so as not to upset tummies.
Another option for feeding dogs is to nurture raw. This is something that should be thoroughly researched before being attempted:

Also remember that freefeeding (leaving food down) is the in haste lane to canine obesity. Make sure to have planned feeding times based on the feeding directions on your dog's food.
