Has anyone heard of problems with bloat with the dried beet pulp in the dog foods? I have heard that Purina Pro and several of the foods mentioned on here contain it. Fila's bloat really easy - so, everyone is really cautious about what they feed and a lot feed BARF - or a raw diet. There are some that feed a mixture of good quality kibble along with raw or partially cooked. This is a huge discussion on the Fila boards.
Anyone feeding the wellness - have you seen the video about the fish bones in the food?
What is disturbing to me is the guy opens the bag and this stuff is right on top - the hair, the fish bones - all of it. Makes me wonder what has settled to the bottom?
I have read and re-read the Canidae ingredients and can honestly not find anything to not agree with as far as ingredients.
