BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I recently bought the wet variety of Kibbles n Bits adult dog food. I wasn't sure if i needed the puppy kind.

If someone could take a look at the ingredients in them and tell me if it is safe?

Meatballs and pasta

The "foods to avoid" section in the BTS caresheet didn't list all of the chemicals. Just wanted to make sure.

I don't see anything harmful in it. Blueys have been seen eating dog poop in the wild, so a little pasta won't hurt. That said, I try to avoid dog foods with grains and other fillers (like corn starch) as one of the main ingredients. These do just what they sound like: they fill your bluey's appetite while providing little nutrition. A dog food without a filler would contain more meat/veggies instead, and therefore, give more nutrition each meal.
