Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal
Our read The ingredients
Mostly meat protein, but not from one meat
Signature feature
65% meat protein
65% protein from meat sources. 0% protein from grain sources
What it is A claim about where the protein comes from. Lamb meal leads the list, pork meal and salmon meal sit 7th and 8th, and chickpeas, yeast and alfalfa supply the rest.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
The flip side of 65% is that about a third of the protein comes from chickpeas, yeast culture and alfalfa. Plant protein is fine, but it isn't the all-meat bowl the badge suggests.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Lamb leads, but pork fat, pork meal and salmon meal follow. Three animal sources make this a poor pick for a single-protein elimination trial.
- 1 Lamb Meal
- 6 Pork Fat
- 7 Pork Meal
- 8 Salmon Meal
- 13 Salt
