Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Pedigree's steak pitch rests on a flavoring listed 17th, after salt. Your dog gets a corn and chicken by-product meal recipe with steak only as a flavor.

Dried peas and dried carrots follow salt, so the vegetable accents are small additions to a recipe built around grains and meals.
- 15 Dried Peas
- 23 Dried Carrots
