Look at this food's ingredients

Beet pulp is a deal breaker for me.

Common Fallacies of Dog Food Reviews

"Beet pulp is a poor quality filler and should be avoided because it commonly causes problems, including allergies and ear infections."

Beet pulp gets its bad reputation undeservedly, which is the reason it's not listed under Ingredients to avoid on this site.

It is a gentle, beneficial source of fiber that is not only generally very well tolerated, but it also has specific properties that make it suitable as a source of nutrition for the beneficial bacteria that reside in the intestinal tract (in a supplement you would call this a "prebiotic"). The same people who malign beet pulp also often state rice bran is a better fiber supplement, but in truth it's a much harsher kind of fiber and may lead to vomiting and diarrhea in sensitive dogs or if it is used in too large amounts.

In all the time I have been consulting for dog owners on nutrition, I have actually not had a single case where I pinpointed beet pulp as the cause of problems, whereas the opposite is true for rice bran.

Almost all of the sugar is removed from the beet pulp, what's left is only about 1/5 the amount of sugar that you would find in a serving of fresh carrots of equal size. It is also colorless and does not make a dog's coat turn red, like urban legends claim.

The manufacturers of quality pet food do not include more than about 5% of beet pulp in their foods, which is enough to get the benefits of this fiber without it becoming nothing but a filler.

The claim that beet pulp is an "unnatural" ingredient is often brought up, but those who argue this seem to forget that it is also not natural that dogs eat commercially produced dry food that contains rendered meat meals, a carbohydrate percentage of generally 40% and more, and has a moisture content of only around 10% as opposed to a more natural 60-70%. Added fiber is required to make such formulations work for the pets who eat a dry diet as well as for manufacturing.

Beet pulp is a deal breaker for me.

Agreed, not from "what such-n-such website says" either, but PERSONAL experience that my dogs ONLY get dirty and infected ears on beet pulp filled foods. I'm dealing with it now, two dogs eating a new food, which has beet pulp in the ingredient list, and both have dirty ears and are shaking their heads, they weren't with the previous diet, only ingredient difference. Sorry, but personal experience trumps all for me.

I totally get that. I'm not a fan of beet pulp and I'll avoid it if I can. I just don't think it always needs be treated as cyanide. Both scientific knowledge and experience are both extremely valid. My personal experience has told me a dog can live into their teens with a gorgeous, shiny coat and rippling muscles eating Ol' Roy. Doesn't mean it's they case for every dog.
