Ingredient Wiki
Chicken
The clean flesh of the chicken, with or without skin, used fresh. Roughly 70% of its weight is water, most…
Chicken Meal
Chicken that has been cooked, dried and ground into a concentrated meal, with most of the water and fat removed.
Oatmeal
Oats that have been rolled or ground, used as a whole grain carbohydrate.
Brown Rice
Rice with only the inedible outer hull removed, so the bran and germ stay on the grain.
Pearled Barley
Barley polished to remove the hull and most of the bran layer, leaving a pale, quick-cooking grain.
Our read The ingredients
Chicken-first puppy kibble with a standard DHA pitch
Signature feature
DHA for brain development
Brain development DHA for early support of cognition & vision
What it is Salmon oil, ninth on the list, in a chicken, oat and rice kibble. Fish oil is the usual DHA source, the omega-3 that builds brain and retinal tissue.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
The mechanism is real: puppies fed more DHA in trials did better on learning and vision tests. But salmon oil sits behind natural flavors here, and most puppy foods now add fish oil.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
The bag pictures brown rice and sweet potato. Rice sits fourth, behind oatmeal, and sweet potato isn't on the list at all.
- 3 Oatmeal
