Pros:
|
First ingredient is a named meat product.
|
|
Cons:
|
Extensive use of fillers and low quality grains, beet pulp. Insufficient meat products in the food.
|
|
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat source, and the third is a decent grain.
Brewers rice is the second ingredient in the food. It is a low quality grain and by-product. Rice hulls are a filler (the outer casing of rice), as is rice flour.
Beet pulp is another controversial ingredient – it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food especially so high on the ingredient list. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
