Pros:
|
First ingredient is a named meat product.
|
|
Cons:
|
Insufficient meat content, liberal use of fillers, fat of unidentifiable origin.
|
|
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product, in meal form. It is the sole meat product in the food.
The primary grain is brewers rice. Brewers rice is a low quality grain and by-product.
Rice gluten is a waste ingredient and is likely to be similar to corn gluten, for which the AAFCO definition is "that part of the commercial shelled corn that remains after the extraction of the larger portion of the starch, gluten, and term by the processes employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup". Rice flour is a grain fragment which we consider to be filler.
Poultry fat is a further low quality ingredient and is impossible to determine the source. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as "obtained from the tissues of poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative".
Overall, this food contains an inadequate amount of meat, and the remaining ingredients are all low quality waste products of little or no nutritional value. Not a food we would ever recommend.
