what food is it??

 

Supplements shouldn't be needed for normal everyday maintenance. If supplements ARE needed, you should be feeding a BETTER food.

I agree.

 

when i talk about supplements i mean i want to keep my dog healthy fit healthy coat things like that i know of only one food that does not require a supplement and i am not paying to have it shipped to me thanks for the responces

 

A quality food doesn't need to be supplemented. Don't make this more complex than it needs to be...

The kibble in question is junk, just look at all the useless fillers in it. The lamb meal (dependant on it quality) and the flaxseed are the only ingredients in it worth feeding to a dog. If you’re wanting a “healthy, fit, shinny coated” dog – don’t feed that crap!

I'm no nutritional expert but it seems to have it's strong points & weak points.One of the strong points is the protien %.One weak point in my opinion is the fiber %.I may be wrong but JMO.Overall it looks to be a pretty good kibble.
