Our read The ingredients
Fresh chicken leads, but plants carry the bowl
Signature feature
Fresh chicken
Always made with fresh chicken (that means no meat meal)
What it is Deboned chicken, first on the list, added fresh rather than as a rendered, dried meal. Chicken fat at sixth is the only other named animal ingredient above the salt.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Fresh versus meal is a sourcing choice, not a nutrition upgrade. Pea protein and potato protein back the chicken up, and total protein still runs about 2 points under the average dry food we list.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Sweet potatoes, peas, potatoes and two plant protein concentrates take five of the top eight spots. Chicken leads, but plants do much of the work.
- 2 Sweet Potatoes
- 3 Peas
- 4 Potatoes
- 5 Pea Protein
