Question
does kibbles n bits give dogs cancer? if so why ?

Answer
I couldn't say. It is a very poor quality dog food. Bha is a known carcinogen and Kibbles and Bits is one of the FEW dog foods on the market that still uses it to preserve food with. So yes it stands to reason that feeding a food with a cancer causing agent in it in the end will increase your dogs for cancer. This is one of the few dog foods on the market that has NO redeemable features NO decent ingredients. The things that are bad for dogs because they are allergens or because they are nothing but fillers and the dogs get no food value from them, in otherwords they just poop them out, are
corn, wheat, soy, and by products, animal fat, middlings, sugar (ie corn syrup). These are all ingredients that should never be fed to dogs. Check out the ingredient list below for kibbles and bits. It is pure garbage.
Corn, soybean meal, ground wheat flour, beef & bone meal, animal fat (BHA used as preservatives), corn syrup, wheat middlings, water sufficient for processing, animal digest (source of chicken flavor), propylene glycol, salt, hydrochloric acid, potassium chloride, caramel color, sorbic acid (used as a preservative), sodium carbonate, choline chloride, minerals (ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, manganous oxide, copper sulfate, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), vitamins (vitamin E supplement, niacin supplement, vitamin A supplement, d-calcium pantothenate, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement), calcium sulfate, titanium dioxide, yellow 5, red 40, yellow 6, BHA (used as a preservative), dl-methionine.
Hope this answers your question . If you're thinking of feeding this food don't, if you're feeding it switch to a good premium food for your dogs sake
