PEDIGREE CHOPPED GROUND DINNER
Tasteful morsels of chicken or beef provide this canned dog food, packed with protein for strong muscles and healthy skin and coat. Add as a topping or combine with dry kibble to provide a complete and balanced meal made in the USA with ingredients from around the globe.
This recipe stands out on The Advisor’s dashboard due to the inclusion of moderate quantities of meats and animal by-products as its top three protein sources, artificial coloring, chelated minerals used as fillers in lower quality pet foods, above-average levels of fat and carbs and the use of artificial colors that tend to be found in lower quality pet food formulations – earning two stars from The Advisor.
IAMS PROACTIVE HEALTH Healthy Aging Wet Dog Food
IAMS PROACTIVE HEALTH Healthy Aging Wet Dog Food is an adult dog food crafted with premium ingredients like chicken and rice slow-cooked in flavorful broth for maximum absorption by your pup’s digestive system. Plus, its omega fatty acid formulation promotes healthy skin and soft coat, plus added vitamins and minerals!
Water is listed first as the sole ingredient, providing simply moisture for digestion. Next comes meat by-products from slaughtered animals after all of the prime muscle cuts have been removed; since these ingredients remain unspecified they could come from anywhere, such as cattle, pigs or sheep.
On the bottom of the list is barley, an affordable cereal grain by-product that provides only minimal nutritional benefits to dogs. In addition, the food includes chelated minerals – chemical bonds attached to protein molecules so that dogs can more easily absorb them – that make absorption simpler for canines.
