Some denounce beet pulp as an inexpensive filler while others cite its outstanding intestinal health and blood sugar benefits. This hay-family ingredient is more commonly associated with horse and cattle feeds.īeet pulp is a controversial ingredient… a high fiber by-product of sugar beet processing. Although alfalfa meal contains protein (about 18%) and fiber, it’s not usually found in dog food. Without knowing more, and based upon this fish meal’s location on the list of ingredients, we would expect to find at least a trace of ethoxyquin in this product. We find no public assurances from the company this product is ethoxyquin-free. Unfortunately, the controversial chemical ethoxyquin is frequently used as a preservative in many fish meals.īut because it’s usually added to the raw fish before processing, the chemical does not have to be reported to consumers. Menhaden fish meal is another high protein meat concentrate. Menhaden are small ocean fish related to herring and rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Although it doesn’t sound very appetizing, chicken fat is actually a quality ingredient.Īfter the natural chicken flavor, we find menhaden fish meal. Chicken fat is obtained from rendering chicken… a process similar to making soup in which the fat itself is skimmed from the surface of the liquid.Ĭhicken fat is high in linoleic acid… an omega-6 fatty acid essential for life. Oats are rich in B-vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Rye is a cereal grain nutritionally similar to barley. Unlike grains with a higher glycemic index (like rice), barley can help support stable blood sugar levels in dogs. Barley is a starchy carbohydrate supplying fiber and other healthy nutrients. Brown rice is a quality ingredient… a complex carbohydrate that (once cooked) is fairly easy to digest. Which brings us to chicken meal… the second and (more likely) the dominant meat ingredient in this dog food.Ĭhicken meal is considered a meat concentrate and contains nearly 300% more protein than fresh chicken. After cooking, most of that moisture is lost… reducing the meat content to just a fraction of its original weight.Īfter processing, this item would probably occupy a lower position on the list. Although it is a quality item, raw chicken contains about 80% water. The first ingredient in this dog food lists chicken.
