Hey eddie the hat do some research on the ingreds in bil jac. Sure corn can cause problems but they only use it for fiber, fructose not so bad but how about fresh chicken, and liver and more chicken organs. Over 60 years in the biz and never a recall from bil jac a family company with no corp suits. All the big names have had recalls, yes iams, purina, eagle pack, innova, nutro, shall i go on.

Done my research and still wouldn't feed this crap to my dog. Fresh chicken? Why then is there preservatives in the food? No thanks!

Eddie..just curious as to how you researched Bil-Jac.
Not sure I follow what you mean by asking why preservatives are being used with fresh chicken. Wouldnt more fresh meat need something to preserve it or at least more than if it were a dried meal?

I saw a new bag of BJ yesterday and it explained alot more of what I had been told. Check it out
I am really glad to see a new bag and more information out there.
My dogs have been great on the food and a few breeders I know swear by it.

Also .. what about all the other dogs in the world with skin issues and infections? I have seen 1000s of dogs on corn products and not on corn products all have issues.
At least BJ processes the corn so that it can be broken down. I read on the bag that it cooks for 40 mins ! Look up the cooking times of other companies carb source and you will see the difference. They only cook them for a few secs.
No matter I really hope that you and your dog(s) do great and have many years together.

the propaganda that you read on the bag and the reality of canine digestion are vastly different. Corn is perhaps the least digestible carbohydrate source, and has no place in pet food. Bil Jac claims to use "organ meat only" as one of their by-product ingredients... but AAFCO only has one definition of by-products, and the slaughterhouses only have one bin for by-products to send off to the pet food manufacturers that use this cheap meat waste. By-products are byproducts, low quality meat waste, and yet Bil Jac tries to make THEIR meat waste seem better than all the other garbage brand's meat waste... then they add that meat waste TWICE to their formula. Of their first five ingredients, only one is worthwhile, the second listed, chicken. The food is well marketed trash, sold to naive pet owners with completely unsubstantiated claims and ridiculous propaganda.

BilJac is loaded with BHA, a preservative that is added to make the food look and taste better. BHA has been assoc. with toxic side effects in some animals. Besides, the corn and by products that are in BilJac (Oh, excuse me, "organs only") the corn alone is what keeps me off this dog food. Too many others that don't offer By products, filler and preservatives.

By-products are not by-products and after reading reviews like these where people claim to have investigated I really wonder.

AAFCO regulates the labels...so if it says Organ Meat Only directly on the label it is Organ meat only. or AAFCO lies.
IF you had actually LOOKED into Bil-Jac and done some HOMEWORk you would have found that BJ gets its organs directly from a
chicken processing plant. The statement that there is only one bin is crazy. BJ actually has there own bins and the organs go directly into them. Then BJ picks them up and takes them to be processed ON THE SAME DAY.
I hvae no problem with organ meat and truthfully in the wild carnivores eat the intestines and other things before the main muscle parts.
I love the Well Marketed Trash comment. LOL They dont even market their product well. With almost every Hollywood dog and many champion dog show dogs one would think that they could do better.

As for BHA... BJ isnt LOADED with it. Take a look at the list. Its way down there and is legal to use. I was told that the reason they have to use a non natural preservative is due to the level of fresh meat.

Obviously in all of your research efforts you discovered that almost EVERY manufacture uses the SAME machine to make foods. You can find info on the expanded extruder machines all over the net. Very limited.
Of an back to labeling laws... a question for you--- if a company buys a product such as Lamb Meal or Chicken Meal from another company do they have to list the ingredients of that meal? The answer might surprise you and you might just find that companies claiming to be 100% free are not.
Try contacting your food company and ask for it in writing that their product is 100% chemical preservative free on the shelf.

There is lots of information on the net. Most of it is wrong. Too many think that because they can read a label then they are a pet nutitionalist. Too many labeling tricks out there.
Ever wondered why so many foods have different kinds of grains, cerals and carb sources???? Could it be to keep meat in the top ingredients--- the answer is yes.

Also please let me know what you feed and I will look at it. I am always looking. However it has to NOT be made with an expander extruder. I just dont believe in expanded kibbles.

My Boxer loves it and is much healthier now that he's been on Bil Jac.
and why is the word propaganda thrown around when someone mentions how good Bil Jac is? It's wonderful, let your dog decide.
