- Modest
- Meaningful
Chicken holds the top spot, but 4 of the first 5 ingredients are plants. Your dog gets chicken in a recipe that also draws protein from plant ingredients.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Peas rank fifth and carrots tenth. Peas carry more of the advertised veggie story, while carrots play a smaller role.
