What to watch for
- Dextrose Moderate risk
A simple sugar. Dogs have no dietary need for added sugar; it adds calories and is mainly there to make food more appealing. - Salt Low risk

What it does well
- High protein 62.5%
40% or more on a dry-matter basis (cat).
Ingredients
WATER SUFFICIENT FOR PROCESSING, SALMON, SUNFLOWER OIL, TAPIOCA STARCH, GLYCINE, SALT, GLUCOSE, GUAR GUM, BETA-CAROTENE.
