What is in Ol' Roy dog food?

Question

I need to know exactly. This is for a science project.

I also need to know what is in Iams dog food.

Answer 1

Pentobarbitol. the drug used for euthanasia.
From: Pentobarbitol
Food and Drug Administration/Center for Veterinary Medicine
Report on the risk from pentobarbital in dog food
http://www.critterchat.net/pentobarbital.htm
Scroll down for list of brands that are contaminated.
The writer says that it is 'safe' amounts. I wonder if he would say the same if it was in his children's food.

Answer 2

It's loaded with by-prducts and corn. It's also only 22% protein, dogs need much more protein than that!! It's not very healthy. Below is the exact nutritional informaiton and in the "sources" area is where I got the information.

This is for the "Premium"

Answer 3

I remember reading somewhere that if a dog food was labeled 100% nutritionally complete, that it had all ingredients needed for your dog's health. I have always fed my dogs Purina brand dry food and they have all had long lives. I feed Purina Senior now, but did use Science Diet dry for my puppy because the breeder had her on that. She is now almost a year old and eats Purina dry Senior along with my older dog. My vet says that is fine as both dogs get a multivitamin daily.
