Plus: The Fromm Pet Food Representative told me the ingredients are human quality/grade. The mineral listings do read to be chelated or proteinated (for better mineral absorption). This food does appear to contain friendly bacteria (benefits the intestinal system and in turn the immune system of the pet). This pet food contains several quality animal protein sources (chicken, egg, fish meal, herring meal). Contains flaxseed, alfalfa - quality ingredients.
Minus: Contains Sodium Selenite - potential risk form of selenium.
