   I was a Walmart recently and noticed that the formula for Maxximum dog   
   food has changed quite a bit.  The bag says no preservative, no   
   by-products, no artifical flavors, and not chelated minerals.  It is   
   also corn and wheat free. Ingredients: Lamb, chicken meal, ground whole   
   grain sorghum, brewers rice, ground barley, chicken fat (with   
   tocopherols), dried beet pulp, carrots, natural flavor, ground   
   flaxseed, peas, potassium chloride, dried egg product, brewers dried   
   yeast, salt, blueberry pomace, etc.: minderals and vitamins.   
      
   So my question is could this food not really be that bad.  I know there   
   are a few questionable not neccessarily bad things such as salt, beet   
   pulp, egg porduct, sorghum, and brewers rice, but this food seems to be   
   a lot better than anything else they sell at  Wal-Mart.  I also read   
   study that found there was no phenobarbatal(sp) found in this dog food   
   which is good new because it means there is no euthanized animals.   
      
   So baisis aside from being produced by Wal-Mart, is this food worth   
   getting?  I know compared to many of the premuim brands not found at   
   Wal-Mart or pet stores it is still not the best but it seems a lot   
   better than many commercial dog foods.
