     The amount of wheat in the food is not ideal as it's a pretty common allergen, but having a meat and meat meal in the top two ingredients is nice.  I also noticed several veggie oils which dogs aren't as efficient at utilizing as animal based products.  Overall, probably a midrange food.

    Agreed.  I'm not fond of the grain fragments either.

     I don't like the wheat.

     I don't like the wheat, BUT you could do a whole lot worse. There are no by products, and no un named meat sources.  If it's a lot cheaper, and I was in a pinch, I'd feed it.
