Have you ever read the ingredients in Abady!?! Here is an example; Abady Classic Maintenance/Stress Formula
Ingredients:
Chicken By-Products Meal (Highest Quality), White Rice, Menhaden Fish Meal (Select Grade), Lard (the finest land-based source of the longest chain Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids), Safflower Oil, Beef Fat, Dicalcium Phosphate, Beef Meat & Bone Meal, Potassium Chloride, Undefatted Beef Liver (Human Grade), Flaxseed Oil (Organic), Whey Protein Concentrate, Choline Choride, Natural Flavor, Menhaden Fish Oil, Ferrous Sulfate, d-Alpha Tocopheeryl Actate (Source of natural Viatmin E), Magnesium Oxide, Zinc Oxide, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Vitamin A Acetate, Taurine, Niacinamide, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Inositol, Citrus Bioflavanoid Complex, Ergocaciferol (Vitamin D3), Manganese Sulfate, Riboflavin, Potassium Iodide, Phytonadione (Vitamin K1), Thimaine Hydrochloride, Cupric Oxide, Chromium GTF, Sodium Selenite, Folic Acid, Biotin, Cyanocobalamin Concentrate (Vitamin B12).
Not only does it contain byproducts, but byproducts of unidentifiable origin! Is that something you really want to be feeding your dog? Who knows what kind of junk is thrown in there. The third ingredient in this food is a named meat product, in meal form, that is good. Two further meat related products (including the primary ingredient) are all by-products, which is bad. White rice is the main grain in the food, and is of decent quality, even though white rice is not a good grain to be feeding to a dog. The manufacturer does not disclose the nature of the preservatives used in this product. Overall, this product probably contains a reasonable amount of meat-related products, but makes prolific use of very low quality and unidentifiable source ingredients.

This one contains byproducts, byproducts of unidentifiable origin, AND a low quality fat source! I sure wouldn't feed my dog this food.
