Things like corn aren't very digestable to dogs.. I'd assume a good food would be far more meat loaded... And a bunch of those ingredients are pretty gross.. If you are feeding dry, males are prone to crystals and need more water.. They do better on wet food, but your post doesn't specify..

That is a pretty garbagy food. I think it scored like 17 out of 100 when rated against other foods. If you read some other topics in this forum you'll find a weath on knowledge on how to pick better foods.
