glassygal, you will learn in time that RawFedDogs does not spread misinformation. Every post I make is well researched and I can back up anything I say. First on the canned food in question has chicken and chicken broth as the first two ingredients but that doesn't mean that they make up a majority of the volume of the "food". Lets look at what "broth" is ... "broth" is nothing more than water and juice that chicken is cooked in. You boil chicken and take the chicken out of the pot and what is left is the broth. Not a lot of nutrition there. Then there is chicken ... yes chicken is a good ingredient. In this case, the chicken and broth don't have to make up more than about 10% of the volume in the can. I strongly suspect that chicken is less than 5%. Besides the chicken and broth in this food, it also contains: carrots, celery, yellow squash, zucchini, chicken liver, pasta, green peas, green beans, turkey, calcium citrate, barley, oats, dicalcium phosphate, soy sauce, dried kelp, garlic, zinc gluconate, ascorbic acid, copper gluconate. Not one of these other ingredients is a species appropriate food for a carnivore. Protein in this "food" is 3.5%. That tells me that there is very little chicken in the can. 88% moisture tells me there is a lot of water and broth.
The very fact that there is 3.5% protein and 1.5% fat is an indication that this "food" is not very nutritious. It also says that there are a lot more veggies than meat. Veggies are very difficult for a dog to digest. His body is not designed to digest veggies. His body is designed to eat meat, bones, and organs of any animal he can catch and kill. He has been doing that for millions of years.
I did read the label before I made my original post. :lol: :lol: :lol:
