Signature feature
Turkey & venison blend
30% protein, with a blend of real turkey & venison, and no poultry by-product meal, artificial flavors or preservatives
What it is Turkey is the first ingredient and venison the 11th, right after glycerin, the humectant that keeps the soft meaty morsels mixed through the kibble from drying out.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Turkey is weighed wet and loses most of its water in cooking, and venison trails glycerin. Much of the protein your dog actually gets comes from chicken meal, soy and corn.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Soybean meal, corn protein meal and soy flour all sit ahead of venison, so plants carry a real share of that 30% protein.
- 3 soybean meal
- 7 corn protein meal
- 8 soy flour
- 11 venison
- 14 Salt
