Rachael Ray’s Nutrish Dish Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe
This food boasts high protein and low carbohydrates levels while using lower quality ingredients. This recipe includes chicken, brown rice, cranberries and tree-ripened apples; with slow-roasted chicken from US farms as the first ingredient bringing delicious flavor and increasing protein content of this meal.
The second ingredient is chicken meal, which provides more concentrated sources of protein than fresh meat and provides 300% more amino acids for their canines. Garden and field peas provide fiber. Brewer’s rice (small fragments that remain after milling whole grain rice) offers lower quality carbohydrates with only limited nutritional benefits.
This dog food does not contain corn, wheat or soy and does not include artificial flavors or preservatives, nor any synthetic hormones, GMO ingredients or fillers such as brewer’s rice, dried peas or potato starch (which could potentially increase insulin levels). However, sodium selenite – an artificial form of selenium which may not be readily absorbed compared with naturally occurring forms found in food sources – may still be present and should be monitored to ensure optimal absorption levels are achieved.
Purina ONE Sensitive Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe
This food features a high protein blend that will promote strong muscles and keep your dog active, as well as improve immune health, radiant coats and stronger bones. Furthermore, consistent feeding may also lead to improved immunity health, radiant coats and stronger bones – not forgetting its highly digestible combination of crunchy kibble and meaty tender morsels!
This recipe is ideal for those with sensitive stomachs and designed to deliver high protein levels without side effects. However, its primary ingredient is meat-based meal which often offers more benefits than corn-based options. Furthermore, the food utilizes chicken by-product meal which typically consists of organs, bones, and connective tissues ground or otherwise processed into small bits for further digestibility.
Other ingredients include animal fat, rice flour, brewers rice, salt, wheat gluten meal, soybean meal and animal digest. This recipe comes from Purina ONE’s True Instinct line and uses caramel color to increase protein levels in this food.
Purina ONE Sensitive Salmon & Brown Rice Recipe
Purina ONE provides an especially tailored formula for dogs with sensitive skin and stomachs, featuring high levels of protein to support strong muscles while four different antioxidant blends provide immune system support. Plus, no wheat, corn, soy or artificial colors or flavors!
Salmon is an excellent source of protein for dogs who have an intolerance for chicken or beef, while rice provides easy digestion and energy for energy needs. Fish meal is another source of protein with added linoleic acid – an omega-6 fatty acid that promotes skin and coat health – for additional benefits.
This food contains zero percent fillers and every ingredient serves a specific purpose, providing your dog with 100% complete and balanced nutrition. Plus, natural sources of glucosamine support joint health.

Goertzen credits this veterinarian-approved wet dog food with helping her Great Dane’s skin allergies, which had him licking his legs and paws until they became raw, greatly diminish over the last year. “Since we started feeding him this special food, his symptoms have significantly subsided,” Goertzen states.
This adult dog food formula features chicken meal and brewers rice as its primary sources of protein, while being low in fat with below average levels of both proteins and carbohydrates. Unfortunately, however, none of its minerals are chelated; thus making them harder for your pet to absorb. Designed specifically to meet his or her biology and free from artificial colors or flavors.
