Depending on its level of freshness and purity, salmon oil should be considered a commendable addition. After processing, this item would probably account for a smaller part of the total content of the finished product. Not only is inulin a natural source of soluble dietary fiber, it’s also a prebiotic used to promote the growth of healthy bacteria in a dog’s digestive tract.

The eighth ingredient is tomato pomace. Tomato pomace is a controversial ingredient, a by-product remaining after processing tomatoes into juice, soup and ketchup. Protein 33% Fat Content 15% Crude Fibre 3.5% Crude Ash 8.5% Calcium 1.1% Phosphorus 0.9% Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) 0.1% Omega 6 Fatty Acids 2.1% Omega 3 Fatty Acids 1.0% First, we find salmon oil, which is naturally rich in the prized EPA and DHA type of omega-3 fatty acids. These two high quality fats boast the highest bio-availability to dogs and humans. Next, we note the use of taurine, an important amino acid associated with the healthy function of heart muscle. Although taurine is not typically considered essential in canines, some dogs have been shown to be deficient in this critical nutrient.Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415, 109 cfu - Helps establish and maintain bacterial balance within the intestinal tract of dogs. Next, this recipe contains sodium selenite, a controversial form of the mineral selenium. Sodium selenite appears to be nutritionally inferior to the more natural source of selenium found in selenium yeast. NO ADDED: grains, wheat, wheat-gluten, corn, soya, dairy, eggs, beef, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives

The fifth ingredient is dried ground potato, a dehydrated item usually made from the by-products of potato processing. In most cases, dried potato can contain about 10% dry matter protein which can have a slight affect on our estimate of the total meat content of this recipe.

All our recipes are complete & balanced, so you do not have to add any supplements to your puppies’ diets.The first ingredient in this recipe is turkey. Although it is a quality item, raw turkey contains up to 73% water. After cooking, most of that moisture is lost, reducing the meat content to just a fraction of its original weight.

However, flaxseed contains about 19% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food. Combination Feeding: If feeding with Wellness wet food, reduce dry amount fed by ⅓ cup (36 g) for every 6 oz (170 g) of wet food. Even when you consider the protein-boosting effect of the peas, dried potato, lentils and flaxseed, this looks like the profile of a kibble containing a significant amount of meat.
