Our read The ingredients
A chicken and rice base with modest omegas
Signature feature
Omega Oils
Rich in omega fatty acids to support skin and coat health
What it is Chicken fat sixth, salmon meal seventh and flaxseed ninth supply the omega fats. No fish oil is added, so there is no concentrated EPA or DHA source.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Flax gives ALA, which dogs convert to EPA and DHA poorly, and omega 6 outweighs omega 3 by nearly 8 to 1. Fine fat for a normal coat, not a therapy for itchy skin.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Chicken fat, salmon meal and flaxseed sit sixth to ninth, all above the salt. The omegas are real ingredients, just not fish oil.
- 6 chicken fat
- 7 salmon meal
- 9 flaxseed
