organic chicken as a dog food ingredient

Chicken is an excellent source of healthy protein for dogs. It is filled with essential amino acids to build strong muscles and help to maintain organs and tissue.

In addition to being a flavor that dogs love, chicken also delivers Omega 6 fatty acids that help sustain healthy skin and shiny coats along with B3 and B6 vitamins, phosphorous and selenium as well.

Chicken Meal is a dry, rendered product from whole chickens that has been through some processing to remove water and fat. It looks like brown flour, and it's a highly concentrated protein/mineral resource.

Chicken meal is basically chicken with a longer storage time. It's a protein-rich food and also Vitamin B12, Tryptophan, Choline, Zinc, Iron, and Copper resource. However, it's an already processed material in dog food manufacturing and makes the food ultra-processed.

This ingredient is another kind of complex carbohydrate that provides energy for your dog and is easily digested.

Chicken Fat is a high quality source of energy and essential fatty acids. For example, chicken fat contains linoleic acid which is an excellent source of the Omega-6 fatty acids. Quality fats support a shiny, healthy coat in dogs.

Cracked Pearled Barley is a whole grain that provides many health benefits for dogs when included in their diet. It is a good source of fiber, which can help support healthy digestion and prevent constipation. Barley is also rich in essential vitamins and minerals, such as manganese, selenium, and vitamin B3.

The pearling process used to make cracked pearled barley helps to reduce the grain's natural hard outer layer, making it easier for dogs to digest.
