Good for you (&Toby) and be glad that it doesn't have meat by-products
by
I'm forgetting the title, but there is a book that exposes the use of "meat by-products" in pet foods by the pet food industry. The book has sort of become the bible on the subject. In past years, meat by-products have included garbage such as roadkill, chicken feet and beaks, and even the bodies of dogs and cats put down in animal shelters (thus, for a long time, some pet food companies were making cannibals out of our dogs and cats).
If you put the phrase "meat by-products" into the Search block of Amazon.com, it will pull up the book for you. Since reading some of the stuff in that book, I will never again, if possible, use a dog food that has meat by-products. Thus, add that to your list, along with the bad grains such as corn, wheat, and soy, that you don't want to see in the indgredients list of the dry food you buy. I'm pretty sure Natural Balance does not have any of that.
