Pros:
|
First two ingredients are named meat products, uses predominantly good quality grains, whole vegetables.
|
|
Cons:
|
Minimum acceptable meat content, some filler.
|
|
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product, as is the second. Since the first is chicken inclusive of its water content (about 80%) and once that is removed it is likely that this ingredient would be more accurately placed somewhat further down the ingredient list (ingredients are listed in order of weight). Note that this is an example of the practice of “splitting” (see note on main page), but in this case serves to increase our level of confidence in the amount of meat product in the food.
The next four ingredients are all grains – two forms of rice and barley. All except rice bran (filler) are quality grains. We appreciate the use of whole fruits and vegetables in the food, but would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product.
Overall this is a reasonably good food, and unlike some other formulas of the brand, does not include controversial ingredients such as beet pulp.
