With only Chicken meal and barley before the first fat we believe this contains more meat than one might suspect. This food contains very high quality ingredient throughout. You can have a lot of confidence in this food because they manufacture all their own products. With a little more meat this could be one of the better foods produced today. It would be nice if the Herring meal and Oatmeal were above the chicken fat.
