Pros:
|
First ingredient is a named meat product
|
Cons:
|
Insufficient meat content, mixed quality ingredients
|
|
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product in meal form. There is a second meat related ingredient 7th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down to make a substantial contribution to the overall meat content of the food. “Digest” is material which results from chemical and/or enzymatic hydrolysis of clean and undecomposed tissue. Although from a named source, digest is a low quality ingredient that is not found in high quality products.
The next three ingredients are all grain products, which suggests a food heavy in grains and light in meat content. Rice, barley and oatmeal are good quality grains, but combined would outweigh the meat content by a some margin. Tomato pomace is primarily filler, but also a minor ingredient. There are no fruits/vegetables in the food. We note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.
Overall, this product appears to use good quality ingredients. Our main concern is with the low level of meat content (users might consider supplementing this diet with meat).
