Yesterday I went to the store and bought food for the fuzzies, since they were running low. I read online that orijen is a good brand so that is what I bought them. Normally I buy wysong food, but due to hurricane Michael Amazon won't deliver. I got home and realized I had bought them a dog food! The ingredients are below because I cannot post pictures for some reason. My question is, is this ok to feed them?

The legumes would be my first warning sign...it's all but proven to create issues regarding kidney stones. Then there is the whole fruit and veggie thing....an 18% carb rating is not great
