Worth a closer look

3 ingredients in this product are debated. None of this is a verdict on safety — it's what to ask your vet about.

Chicken by-product meal

Nutritionally it can be fine (organs are nutrient-dense), but the exact mix isn't disclosed and varies batch to batch, so quality is unpredictable.

Corn gluten meal

Frequently used to inflate the protein percentage without adding meat. It's low in some amino acids pets need, so it's a poor substitute for animal protein.

Unnamed animal fat

Because the species isn't named, the source can change batch to batch — a problem if your pet has a protein allergy.
