Protein can be found in meats , nuts and legumes, unfortunately most of what I see are fruits in the top positions. I see a lot of carbohydrates, yet no listing on the bag as to the actual content, this raises a huge red flag for me. I know that most carbs also contain fiber which is essential in the dogs gastrological function, however I would like to know exactly how many carbs my dog is taking in. As for fats, there is no meat fat added, just vegetable with vitamin E , which really is not a bad thing. I think my main concern is the amount of carbs in the top 5. |
I emailed the company and here's the response I received:
"Thank-you for your enquiry! ! Determining carbs in any food is easy, you simply add the protein, moisture, fat, fiber and ash and the remaining is carbs. Further to that it is not possible to have a low carb without the high protein..In the case of the NOW! GF Dog it is 30% , and the cat 24% and in our GO! GF is it 27%. I hope this helps!"
