Your dog food should be Complete and Balanced. Authority is not. Stick with premium foods for your animals. It makes a difference in their health, energy, feces, skin, hair and more. Plus, premium dog foods are cheaper when you consider all the vet bills to fix the problems the food does not address or creates, and it is more expensive to feed as directed. Ask your vet or your certified veterinary technican; they will tell you that premium dog foods are better for your pet and will save you money in the long run.
