Purina One Chicken and Rice Formula

Purina is known for being one of the biggest manufacturers of dry dog food in United States. Below I have listed all the ingredients of this dog food as well as the content percentages. The information selected in red is the fillers Purina used in this food. If you notice, chicken is the first ingredients, good, but if you look at the rest of the stuff they put into this food... It is obvious this food is made for consumer who does not know much about what he feeds his dog. The only benefits I see for this food is that its relatively cheap and is very widely available in most super markets
