How does it look to you guys? It's sold at both Petco and Petsmart, which is helpful.
My only concern is that it's got three different yeast ingredients....two are at the bottom, one is more towards the top. Murph has gotten an ear infection in the past with yeast, is this something that I should be concerned about? Why would they put yeast in the dog food? I don't think I've seen that in others...
