I don't 'knock' what people feed, but most people give their dogs branded dog foods because someone else tells them it is good, or their dog did well on it. They don't feed it because they have looked into canine nutrition and then think it's a good idea.

Hoqwever, whatever anyone feeds their dog is not a welfare issue, so none of my business. I was just giving my opinion and didn't want the OP to be mislead by claims something is 'holistic'.
