First, we find salmon oil, which is naturally rich in the prized EPA and DHA type of omega-3 fatty acids. These two high quality fats boast the highest bio-availability to dogs and humans. While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients. This will be a more than sufficient proportion of protein for the majority of dogs including those who are more active. This protein appears to be mostly sourced from a mixture of fish ingredients which are high-quality sources. However, some of this protein is from the range of legumes present. Plant-based protein such as that from Peas is not quite as optimal as animal protein but given the already high levels of protein, it is less significant. Fat Content Analysis

Dogs use Protein for growth, development, and maintenance. Excess protein can be burned as calories. As the chart above displays, a minimum of 34% of Wellness Core – Ocean Formula calories are derived from protein. Please note that this is the minimum amount of protein as calculated by the guaranteed analysis. In reality, this value of protein is likely to be higher. This is significantly above average for a Dry Dog Food. NO ADDED: grains, wheat, wheat-gluten, corn, soya, dairy, eggs, beef, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives Salmon 32% (Fresh Salmon 16%, Dehydrated Salmon 16%), Peas 16%, Dehydrated Tuna 13%, Dried Potatoes, Rapeseed Oil, Potato Protein, Beet Pulp 3%, Linseed 3%, Natural Flavor, Salmon Oil 2%, Lignocellulose, Carrots, Apples, Dried Chicory Root (source of Fructo-oligo-saccharides and Inulin) 0,5%, Yeast Extract (source of mannanoligosaccharides) 0,5%, Broccoli, Spinach, Tomatoes, Blueberries, Cranberries, D-Glucosamine Hydrochloride 100 mg/kg, Chondroitin Sulphate 100 mg/kg, Yucca Schidigera Vitamin A 14000 IU, Vitamin E 120 mg, Taurine 1500 mg, Zinc (Zinc sulphate, monohydrate) 100 mg, Iron (Ferrous sulphate, monohydrate) 100 mg, Copper (Cupric sulphate, pentahydrate) 7,5 mg, Manganese (Manganous sulphate, monohydrate) 5 mg, Iodine (Calcium iodate, anhydrous) 1,5 mg.

This makes them easier to absorb. Chelated minerals are usually found in better dog foods. Nutrient Analysis Above-average protein. Near-average fat. And below-average carbs when compared to a typical dry dog food. You also have the functionality to pause your subscription on easy repeat, simply go to ‘My Account’ to do this. Next, this recipe contains sodium selenite, a controversial form of the mineral selenium. Sodium selenite appears to be nutritionally inferior to the more natural source of selenium found in selenium yeast. However, flaxseed contains about 19% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food.

If you find that you are receiving your deliveries too often, or not often enough, you can alter the frequency of your easy-repeat deliveries. The first ingredient in this recipe is turkey. Although it is a quality item, raw turkey contains up to 73% water. After cooking, most of that moisture is lost, reducing the meat content to just a fraction of its original weight. The fifth ingredient is dried ground potato, a dehydrated item usually made from the by-products of potato processing. In most cases, dried potato can contain about 10% dry matter protein which can have a slight affect on our estimate of the total meat content of this recipe.

Many praise tomato pomace for its high fiber and nutrient content, while others scorn it as an inexpensive pet food filler. Dogs use fat as a concentrated energy source. In addition, fats also play a role in development and maintenance. As the chart above displays, a minimum of33% of Wellness Core – Ocean Formula calories are derived from Fat. Please note that this is the minimum amount of fat as calculated by the guaranteed analysis. In reality, this value of fat is likely to be a lot higher. This is above average for a Dry Dog Food. Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements.
