Insufficient meat content

The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product in meal form. There is a second meat ingredient 10th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down to make up a substantial portion of the food. Being a meat product inclusive of water content (about 80%) once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. Ingredients are listed in order of weight, and the dehydrated ingredient would probably be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list and really makes up only a tiny fraction of the food.
The 2nd-4th ingredients are all grain products, which suggests a food heavy in grains and light in meat content. Rice, barley and oats are all good quality grains, but combined would outweigh the meat content by a substantial margin. Tomato pomace is primarily filler, but also a very minor ingredient in the food. We appreciate the use of whole eggs, and inclusion of a small range of vegetables.
Overall, this product appears to use good quality ingredients. Our sole concern is with the low level of meat content (users might consider supplementing this diet with meat).
