Our Star Rating: 0
Ingredients
Chicken (20%), rice (15%), dehydrated poultry proteins, wheat, maize, maize gluten meal,
animal fat (preserved with vitamin E), beet pulp, hydrolysed animal proteins, fish oil,
dehydrated egg, brewers yeast, potassium chloride, plasma proteins, tetrasodium
pyrophosphate, , salt, citrics extract rich in bioflavonoids
Does not specify "Chicken Meal" so this is likely to be "Fresh Chicken" which is likely to be up to 75% water - remove the water (to create "meal") and you are left with 5% Chicken. Does not specify "Chicken Meat" either so very very little is likely to be actual meat but whatever it is can be assumed to be derived from Chickens.
Rice is good but there is so little (because it is relatively expensive) - the bulk of the food is made up from the wheat, maize and maize gluten meal - by splitting the quantity of grains into 3 entries on the ingredients list they could have 14% of each of these low quality grains yet still show Rice higher up the list. Animal Fat also makes up a large part of the ingredients and this is yet another cheap and questionable additive.
Added salt is questionable - generally used as a flavour enhancer - as is the "hydrolysed animal proteins".
The
Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate
is not an additive that I like to see in the ingredients list. It can cause
skin and eye irritation
- presumably in large quantities - but I would have thought that having this in a dry food is not really acceptable as the dust as you get to the bottom of the bag may have enough to cause problems. This is, however, used in many human foodstuffs - basically those that need to be "held together" (such as Chicken Nuggets and soy based meat substitutes) - as well as detergents and toothpaste. It is "more toxic" than table salt and adds to the levels of sodium in the food. They have included this to "prevent plaque build up" - I would add that this is not a problem normally seen with a good food anyway.
