Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
No research shows setters need a nutrient profile different from other active dogs. What you get is a richer adult food, about 41% of calories from fat, in a shaped kibble. Useful, but not breed science.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Brewers rice leads, and soy protein isolate in fourth backs up the chicken by-product meal. Part of this protein comes from plants.
