First and second ingredients are named meat products
|
|
Cons:
|
Use of low quality and controversial ingredients.
|
|
The first and second ingredients in the food are named meat products in meal form.
The first grain is rice, wich is a decent quality grain. Wheat, however, a further ingredient we prefer not to see used, being the number one cause of allergy problems amongst grains in dog food. "Middlings" is a fraction of the grain. The ingredient is split, suggesting that it may make up a greater portion of the food than is first apparent.
The next ingredient in the food is corn. The use of corn is a negative since corn is a grain that is very difficult for dogs to digest and that commonly causes allergy problems.
Beet pulp is further filler and a 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. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
