Pros: First three ingredients are named meat products, uses good quality ingredients throughout.
Cons:

The first two ingredients of this food are named meat products. The first of these is meat inclusive of its water content (about 80%) and once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, it is likely that the ingredient would be more accurately placed somewhat further down the ingredient list (ingredients are listed in order of weight). However, that still leaves a meat meal ingredient at the head of the ingredient list which gives us confidence that there is an adequate amount of meat in the food. There are further meat ingredients 8-10th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down to make up a substantial portion of the food.


The major grains in the food are barley and rice. Barley is a good quality grain and carbohydrate source. Rice is a low-allergenic grain that is a good source of carbohydrates and additional protein.


The inclusion of a range of fruits and vegetables is appreciated, as are the probiotics.
