![]() ![]() In most cases, plasma can be considered a nutritious addition. Plasma is what remains of blood after the blood cells themselves have been removed. Just the same, there’s probably not enough tomato pomace here to make much of a difference. Many praise tomato pomace for its high fiber and nutrient content, while others scorn it as an inexpensive pet food filler. This item is a controversial ingredient, a by-product remaining after processing tomatoes into juice, soup and ketchup. The ninth ingredient includes tomato pomace. Eggs are easy to digest and have an exceptionally high biological value. The eighth ingredient is dried egg, a dehydrated powder made from shell-free eggs. Although it doesn’t sound very appetizing, chicken fat is actually a quality ingredient. This item 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. However, peas contain about 25% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this dog food. ![]() And like all legumes, they’re rich in natural fiber. Peas are a quality source of carbohydrates. The fifth ingredient is white rice, a less nutritious form of rice in which the grain’s healthier outer layer has been removed. However, aside from its energy content, this cereal grain is of only modest nutritional value to a dog. Barley is a starchy carbohydrate supplying fiber and other healthy nutrients. However, aside from its natural energy content, rice is of only modest nutritional value to a dog. The third ingredient is brown rice, a complex carbohydrate that (once cooked) can be fairly easy to digest. Since some fish are higher in omega-3 fats than others, it’s impossible for us to judge the quality of this item. Unfortunately, the phrase “ocean fish” is vague and does little to adequately describe this ingredient. Because it is considered a meat concentrate, fish meal contains almost 300% more protein than fresh fish itself.įish meal is typically obtained from the “clean, dried, ground tissue of undecomposed whole fish and fish cuttings” of commercial fish operations. The second ingredient is ocean fish meal. 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 account for a smaller part of the total content of the finished product. Although it’s a quality item, raw beef contains up to 73% water. The first ingredient in this dog food is beef. ![]() Protein = 24% | Fat = 29% | Carbs = 47% Ingredient Analysis Red denotes controversial item Estimated Nutrient Content Ingredients: Beef, ocean fish meal, brown rice, pearled barley, white rice, peas, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), dried eggs, dried tomato pomace, animal plasma, ground flaxseed, natural flavor, spray dried animal blood cells, carrots, potassium chloride, pumpkin, blueberries, cranberries, salmon oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols), choline chloride, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, l-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), niacin, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin A supplement, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement, biotin, folic acid), minerals (zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, copper sulfate, manganese sulfate, zinc proteinate, manganese proteinate, copper proteinate, sodium selenite, calcium iodate), dl-methionine, dried chicory root, taurine, rosemary extract, dried Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried Enterococcus faecium fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus casei fermentation productįiber (estimated dry matter content) = 4.4% Label and nutrient data below are calculated using dry matter basis.
