I just looked at a couple of the foods in the link and they had rice as the first ingredient, not meat.[/B]

Sorry, not real knowledgeable on dog food. So I take it the first ingredient should always be meat? He's on dry kibbles, Purina Puppy Pro Plan now.

Well not necessarilly, the first ingredient does not have to be meat, but it is preferable. However, the Burns food has a grain as the first ingredient and I don't think that is desirable, but the food still seems good according to the ingredients. There are foods that don't have meat first, like Natural Balance limited ingredients, and a lot of people feed that. The difference between Burns and NB is that NB's ingredients starts with potatoes, which of course isn't a grain.
I think any high quality food would be effective at expressing anal glands, as your pup would produce firmer stools. But nothing is ever guaranteed to work.
Hope this helped!!!
