Grade your kibble

    • Gold Top Dog
    My friends are feeding their puppy Iams Smart Puppy.  I tried doing the scoring but some things confused me.  Can someone who understands the grading better, grade this food? Ingredients below, thanks!!

    Isn't Kirkland the Costco brand?  It would be great if there were a high quality kibble available at Costco, I'm surprised it was rated that high; I never looked twice at the food while I am there, I just assumed it was crappy.....


    I shop by ingredients list myself, so when I see a brand that's new to me I check it out. Kirkland has pretty decent ingredients, especially for the price. It smelled awful though (natural flavor I guess) and the dogs smelled when they were on it. That was just my experience though.

    I feed Pet Botanics Rolled Meat too, but I can't find the ingredients listed on the web and I don't have a roll of it handy to look at. [>:]
