NP, but probably because it's a well known, expensive, quality brand.
It's not a quality brand. It's full of garbage ingredients. Vets keep pushing it so people think it's good.

Corn is indeed a filler. The US has an over-abundance of corn, and the pro-corn crowd is dominated by those who have a vested interest in products made with cereal grains. Corn has been linked to many dog ailments such as allergies, joint swelling, bloat and there have been some cases of aflatoxin contamination associated with corn in dog food. The corn that is used in dog food is sometimes contaminated with mycotoxins (toxins from mold or fungi).
Corn metabolizes in dogs similar to the way sugar metabolizes in humans. It's like feeding a child foods high in corn syrup. The dog is not going to be as healthy and may experience energy rushes, crashes, hyperactivity and a hard time concentrating. Studies have also shown that high doses of corn can inhibit serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is an important chemical that reduces stress and anxiety.
A dog's body cannot process corn properly. It is difficult for them to digest it. Corn is a cheap filler, a starchy energy which serves little to no nutritional value. A lot of it comes out in their waste.

I am so confused. Grain-free diets that replace ingredients like rice and corn with potatoes, chickpeas, etc. are now under scrutiny. So what is supposed to be good?

It is well-known and expensive, but quality it is not. Dogfoodadvisor.com gives it two or three stars out of five, depending on the variety. It contains a lot of fillers.
Interesting... I just assumed quality since it's what the vet has been selling my parents for their dog w/cancer - under the pretense that it's extra rich and nutrient filled. :/
