Pet Food Choice - Pedigree Better By Nature reviewed
Personally I've been using the new Pets at Home food and think it's great |

Compare the ingredients of burns chicken and rice
Brown Rice (min 63%), Chicken(min 20%), Oats, Peas, Chicken Oil,Sunflower Oil, Seaweed, Minerals & Vitamins
to Proplan chicken
Chicken (20%), Rice (15%), Maize, Dehydrated poultry protein, Maize gluten, Wheat, Animal fat (protected by mixed tocopherols), Digest, Beet pulp, Fish oil, Dried egg, Yeast, Calcium phosphate, Potassium chloride, Sodium chloride, Calcium carbonate, Minerals.
Notice how maize appears twice, again as maize gluten? Thats just maize but they can call it that so it doesn't appear to be full of it on the ingredient list. Beet pulp? The number one bulker outer
