Look how far meat is down the ingredient list. Also it's not a named meat it’s just “meat”, probably whatever meat was on the bone which made the meat and bone meal. Even lower than that is the "chicken by product meal". Now there is nothing wrong with chicken meal, but you don't want "chicken by product", it means all the parts that aren't used in other things. I think there are better choices than this food. |
