Ingredient Wiki
Beef
The clean flesh of cattle, used fresh. Like all fresh meats it is mostly water before cooking.
Wheat
The grain of the wheat plant, one of the most widely grown cereals.
Meat and Bone Meal
A rendered product made from mammal tissue including bone, without specifying the animal.
Whole Grain Corn
Corn kernels ground with the bran, germ and endosperm still intact, rather than the degermed endosperm used in refined corn…
Brewers Rice
The small fragments of rice kernel separated out during milling, a by-product of producing whole white rice.

Beef leads, grains do much of the work
Signature feature
Real beef
Real beef is the 1st ingredient
What it is Beef sits first in the kibble's ingredient list. The filet mignon part appears as flavoring below salt.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Cesar puts beef first, but 3 of the next 4 ingredients are grains. Your dog gets beef alongside a substantial grain base, so that top spot tells only part of the story.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Peas and carrots sit below salt, so the spring vegetable garnish is just that: a garnish, not a vegetable serving.
- 15 salt
- 22 dried peas
- 26 dried carrots
