Answer 1

Well I looked at the ingredients for the Chicken and Rice formula:

Ingredients:
Chicken, chicken meal, brown rice, brewers rice, barley, oatmeal, whole grain ground wheat, poultry fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols (a source of vitamin E), citric acid and rosemary extract), fish meal, beet pulp, digest of poultry, flax seed, whole dried eggs, brewers yeast, spray dried poultry liver digest, potassium chloride, salt, chelated minerals (iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, cobalt proteinate, magnesium proteinate, yeast fermentation solubles), choline chloride, dried saccharomyces fermentation solubles, (saccharomyces cerevisiae, enterococcus faecium, lactobacillus acidophilus, aspergillus niger, trichoderma longibrachiatum, bacillus subtillis), maltodextrins and fermentation solubles), vitamins (vitamin A acetate, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, niacin, pantothenic acid, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin supplement, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement), glucosamine hydrochloride, vitamin C, chondroitin sulfate, yucca schidigera extract

It's an okay, not the best, but definitely not the worst. It starts with a real meat which is great. But it does have 2 types of animal digest (I tend to avoid it), and it has dried whole eggs (just eggs alone have the most benefits- not egg product or dried), and salt is a little too high on the list for me (it's put in for flavor- but isn't healthy). Other than that, there are no by-products, no sugar, no corn of any type- so if it's better than other foods you can find, I'd say feed it.
