Grain free and protein rich, our Wellness CORE Small Breed Adult Low Fat features fresh turkey as the #1 ingredient. A natural recipe with high quality meat proteins, along with a unique blend of wholesome vegetables and superfoods, leaving out fillers and grains.

While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients.Not only is inulin a natural source of soluble dietary fiber, it’s also a prebiotic used to promote the growth of healthy bacteria in a dog’s digestive tract. The protein-rich, grain free recipe features fresh turkey as the number one ingredient (29%) as well as a unique blend of vegetables and superfoods to promote good overall health, weight, and longevity. The ninth listing is flaxseed, one of the best plant sources of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Provided they’ve first been ground into a meal, flax seeds are also rich in soluble fiber. Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements. Next, we note the use of taurine, an important amino acid associated with the healthy function of heart muscle. Although taurine is not typically considered essential in canines, some dogs have been shown to be deficient in this critical nutrient.

Since taurine deficiency appears to be more common in pets consuming grain-free diets, we view its presence in this recipe as a positive addition. All our recipes are complete & balanced, so you do not have to add any supplements to your dogs’ diets. However, peas contain about 25% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this dog food. Our Wellness CORE Small Breed Adult Low Fat is designed to support sterilized small breed dogs' needs and healthy weight management. Wellness CORE feeds dogs as nature intended with more meat, less carbs & no fillers together with a fresh meat taste every dog will love!Protein 36% Fat Content 16% Crude Fibre 4% Crude Ash 9% Omega-6 Fatty Acids 2,2% Omega-3 Fatty Acids 1,1% Glucosamine 900 mg/kg Chondroitin Sulphate 1200 mg/kg Flavourings (Rosemary extract, Grape seed extract, Turmeric extract, Grapefruit oil expressed, Clove leaf oil) 300 mg NO ADDED: grains, wheat, wheat-gluten, corn, soya, dairy, eggs, beef, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives Next, this recipe contains sodium selenite, a controversial form of the mineral selenium. Sodium selenite appears to be nutritionally inferior to the more natural source of selenium found in selenium yeast. The first ingredient in this recipe is turkey. Although it is a quality item, raw turkey contains up to 73% water. After cooking, most of that moisture is lost, reducing the meat content to just a fraction of its original weight.

Many praise tomato pomace for its high fiber and nutrient content, while others scorn it as an inexpensive pet food filler. And lastly, this food includes chelated minerals, minerals that have been chemically attached to protein. This makes them easier to absorb. Chelated minerals are usually found in better dog foods.

Turkey meal is considered a meat concentrate and contains nearly 300% more protein than fresh turkey.
