First ingredient is a named meat product.
|
|
Cons:
|
Insufficient meat content, use of low quality grains and other controversial filler.
|
|
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product in meal form. Unfortunately, the second is brewers rice - a low quality grain and by-product. Rice bran and rice flour are grain fragments which we consider to be filler.
Beet pulp is 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.
