With only 3 ingredients and a fat this is a very simple dog food . Good for those dogs with allergies and for those dog owners who believe many ingredients that are in dog food are unnecessary. This fish oil is made from herring and mackerel which are higher in Omega 3 and 6 than salmon oil.  None of their fish or fish meals contains ethoxyquin and is stated so on their website. We believe this is one of the better dog foods produced today. The only negative would be that it could be a little light on meat.
