Susan Borg. Brewers yeast is for gut microflora health and contains easily bioavailable b vitamins. Thanks for the reviews. You give an awesome unbias review. If the moisture were removed, this ingredient would weigh much less and would be found lower in the ingredient list. Deboned turkey, and the second ingredient which is turkey meal, are excellent ingredients for dog food. Turkey has around 50 percent protein white and dark meat combined and 50 percent fat.
Turkey meal, which has had most of the moisture and fat removed, is a concentrated form of turkey protein. If you just want to consider turkey breast, then turkey is about 70 percent protein, but we thought it would be more realistic to look at the whole turkey that is probably used in the food.
Dog food companies like them because they add a less expensive source of protein to dog foods — meat proteins are expensive ingredients. Pulses are also a source of fiber, vitamins, and some minerals. However, they can be difficult for some dogs to digest, especially if the food contains a lot of peas and beans.
Dog food companies have been adding pulses to dog food for several years but they have been added to animal feed for a longer time so most of the research about them relates to livestock. Their longterm effects on dogs has not yet been studied. Peas usually refer to field peas or split peas yellow or green.
Split peas have about 25 percent protein, 72 percent carbs, and 3 percent fat. They are a good source of thiamin, folate, and manganese and a good dietary fiber. We also note that the food contains pea protein later in the ingredient list which will boost the protein percentage of the food. Lentils is a legume. They are about 27 percent protein, 70 percent carbs, and 3 percent fat.
They are also a good dietary fiber and a good source of iron, copper, phosphorus, folate, and manganese. Chickpeas garbanzo beans are another legume. They are about 19 percent protein, 68 percent carbohydrates, and 13 percent fat. They are also a good dietary fiber, and contain copper, folate, and manganese. They are also high in omega-6 fatty acid. Beyond the first several ingredients in a food, most of the ingredients listed will not be present in large amounts but they can still be important.
The food also contains chicken fat preserved with mixed tocopherols. Chicken fat is a good source of fat for dogs. This food also includes tomato pomace. Contrary to some things you will read online, tomato pomace is a good source of soluble fiber, antioxidants, and other nutrients. It is not a cheap filler. The food also contains pork meal. This will also increase the protein percentage of the food but with a good meat protein instead of a plant protein. The food also has flaxseed.
However, if you intend to breed your dog, you should be careful of flaxseed. It is a phytoestrogen which means that it can mimic the functions of estrogen in the body. It could be fish broth or it could be brine from a fishing boat.
The ground brown rice should be easy for dogs to digest and fairly nutritious, but the ground white rice is much less so. Oatmeal provides some soluble fiber and nutrients and it should help your dog feel full. But, again, if you are looking for a food that is different from chicken because your dog has a chicken allergy, this ingredient would mean that you should avoid this food for your dog.
Dried beet pulp is a good insoluble fiber that provides both energy and keeps the colon healthy. The Dried Egg Product is a good source of protein, as is the organic Quinoa. Many of the vegetables included in the food perform double duty and also contribute to better digestion such as the Pumpkin and Apples. Tomato Pomace and Peas are often used by dog food companies to provide more fiber in dog food, as well as contribute some nutrients. Cranberries are often added to dog food as an antioxidant.
Do these fermentation products actually help dogs digest food better? The health benefits are thanks to the vitamins and minerals the ingredient contains. Canola Oil is a vegetable oil commonly found in foods for human consumption. However, it is also added to some dog food recipes in small portions. It can boost the level of fat in a recipe as well as the proportion of beneficial fats.
At this time, we have no information on what type of animal testing, if any, that Holistic Select participates in. We strongly believe that laboratory and invasive testing of animals is a cruel and outdated practice and one which should be eliminated.
Despite this, we always suggest that pet owners remain vigilant of any future recalls of Holistic Select or any other pet food brand. The above recipe uses an unusual mix of seafood ingredients, which we are choosing to highlight it. The ingredients include Salmon, which is a common addition to dog food, but it also includes Anchovy and Sardines, which are very rarely seen.
This combination comes together to provide an excellent proportion of protein. However, the proportion of fat in this recipe is lower than other recipes with similar protein levels. This lower level of fat could be advantageous to older dogs who are not as active as they were in their youth or those dogs who are overweight and are attempting weight loss.
The formula uses a range of Starches, Legumes, and Pumpkin to provide its carbohydrate content and is free of any grains or by-products. These vegetables also offer an ample portion of fiber to aid digestion.
Many dogs really enjoy the taste and flavor of Beef, and it can provide a plentiful supply of protein and fat. The recipe also contains a notable portion of Pork Liver. Liver ingredients such as Pork Liver are welcome additions to dog food recipes.
