Turkey

Our read The ingredients
Six proteins on paper, chicken and peas in practice
Signature feature
Multiple protein inclusion
Made in small batches with multiple sources of protein
What it is Six animal protein sources. Chicken, chicken meal, turkey and egg lead the list, while duck and salmon arrive 12th and 13th, behind chicken fat and three pea ingredients.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Chicken and turkey do the real work. Duck and salmon sit below the chicken fat, so they add little protein, and the mix gives a chicken-allergic dog nowhere to hide.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Peas, pea flour and pea protein sit 6th, 7th and 9th. Pea protein lifts the protein figure, so not all of it comes from meat.
- 6 Peas
- 7 Pea Flour
- 9 Pea Protein
