First let me start this thread by putting in a disclaimer:
I am in no way recommending or suggesting one brand of food over the other or saying one brand is better than another.
Now that I have that out of the way for all those who will want to climb all over me because they think I am not recommending what they use. :twisted:
What you want to look for is what is IN the food. Ingredients are listed in the order of quantity contained in the food. The first ingredient listed is what there is the most of, second is second greatest quantity, so on and so fourth.
IMO it is generally considered by most that you want the most plentiful ingredients to be natural, as opposed to 'fillers.' All foods will have some fillers, you just have to consider how much.
You read and compare! Then make your own decision!
