Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
About 45% of the calories come from fat, the fuel muscles burn during long work. The VO2 Max line describes that whole diet, not an added ingredient, so only a dog in hard training stands to gain.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Corn shows up three times in the top seven. Split into three names, it reads lighter than it is, so the salmon lead is narrower than it looks.
- 2 Corn Gluten Meal
- 5 Whole Grain Corn
- 7 Corn Germ Meal
