Ask Susan Peters Dog Food Review:

Oh, this is sad! Shame on Tuffy and there isn't anything "Gold" about this dog food unless it is the yellow from the corn they use to make this stuff. In case you didn't know "brewers yeast" is what is left over after making beer. How about a heaping dose of manure, by-products and a beer. No thanks, Tuffy!
