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. 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. All our recipes are complete & balanced, so you do not have to add any supplements to your dogs’ diets. The fifth ingredient is dried ground potato, a dehydrated item usually made from the by-products of potato processing. In most cases, dried potato can contain about 10% dry matter protein which can have a slight affect on our estimate of the total meat content of this recipe. Many praise tomato pomace for its high fiber and nutrient content, while others scorn it as an inexpensive pet food filler.

After processing, this item would probably account for a smaller part of the total content of the finished product.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. 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.

Nutrient Analysis

In May 2012, the company issued a voluntary recall of their Large Breed Puppy formula due to concerns over Salmonella. The food was believed to have become tainted at one of their food processing plants; after the recall, Wellness Core severed their relationship with that processor. 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. Nutrient Analysis 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.
