Hello, just wondering if any of you all have had any experience with the puppy food named Maximum Nutrition Lamb and Rice formula. You can buy it at Walmart but it looks like a lot better food compared to the other brands there. The first 3 ingredients are Lamb, brewers rice, chicken meal. Also, one of the ingredients is corn gluten meal. It says right on the front of the package no added fillers. It is about the same price as Iams. Any thoughts or suggestions??

I looked on the net for a link to this pet food and found nothing.

It would be hard for me to give an opinion with out acutally seeing a lable.

My hunch is though, that the food is going to be medium quality at best.

If you buy pet food at Super markets, stick with Purina One.

Sorry, it is called Maxximum Nutrition. It has 2 x's instead of one in the spelling...

That corn gluten meal has got me too. It's in ProPlan natural Turkey and Barley that we feed our dogs. They do well on it, but we are having to switch to a lower protein food on the vets recommendation.

I could never figure out what that corn gluten meal was for. I read a web site that listed what all the ingredients were for and what benefits they had, but for all that I see, corn gluten meal was worth nothing.

We are changing to Kirklands L&R.

If your brought some, does it have a web site on the bag so you can post it here? I would like to see the ingredients list from the dog food.

I ran out of dog food and told my husband to pick up a little bag of dog food. Well, guess what he brought home, yep you guessed it- Maxximum Nutrition Lamb & Rice.

Ingredients: Lamb,brewers rice, corn gluten meal, chicken meal, ground yellow corn, ground wheat, beef tallow preserved with mixed-tocopherols (source of vitamin E), wheat flour, defuorinated phosphate, dried whey,salt, potassium chloride, animal digest, L-lysine monohydrochloride, choline chloride, calcium carbonate, zinc oxice, ferrous sulfate, vitamin supplements (E, A, B-12, D-3), riboflavin supplement, niacin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, biotin, thiamine mononitrate, folic acid, copper sulfate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, garlic oil, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), calcium iodate.


I didn't feel like fooling with the hassle of bringing it back. I gave them a feeding out of it, since it was all they had at the time but I went and brought some of their regular dog food. I'm either going to keep it for an emergency like this time or give it to someone else. I don't like some of the ingredients, so I don't like it.

P/S: The bag says no added fillers. I thought corn was a filler. :confused:

Thanks for the info on Maxximum Nutrition. The ingredients in this one are similiar to Iams but I am still undecided on whether to use it or not.

I *believe* that Maxximum Nutrition is Walmart's store brand, and that it is manufactured for them by Purina. The ingredients are probably very comparable to Purina One. I know this is the case with the Maxximum cat food.

You are exacty right. I called the number on the bag to ask questions. They told me that it is comparable to a Super Premium Dog food. They are just able to sell it a little cheaper due to it is sold only at walmart which requires no marketing costs. Usually I dont like food sold at grocery stores but this seems to compare to Iams and Purina One.

No way would I feed that. Most dogs have problems with wheat and there is a lot of wheat in that food. Since it has Lamb and not Lamb meal, that food is mostly grains and fillers.
