There's a great deal of info on dog food--the good, the mediocre, the awful--here in Nutrition and Grooming.

Oh, but they do take Nutrition courses in vet school, and surprise!! The books are all written by Hill's (Science Diet), and the big dog food companies donate huge amounts of money to the vet schools, and also supply vet students with one large bag of SD for their dogs and cats, while they are in school. When they get out of vet school, they are deeply brain washed that Hill's, Iams,etc. is a great food and great companies.
I'm with the other's, Science Diet is a poor quality, over priced, grain based food. You could do so much better for your pup, and you will have to feed less and clean up far less poop.
