Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | I followed the scoring advice on that thread I listed on how to rate ingredients, and I came up with 97. Which is good. However, I'm not sure how reputable that rating system is or whether it takes into account the special needs of Yorkies. But I definitely think it's a good food for your dog. Here's how the scoring worked and what the ingredients are for the adult Acana dog food: 100 points starting score -5 (same ingredient used twice in first five ingredients (rice) -3 (less than 2 meats in top 3 ingredients) -2 (animal fat other than fish oil) -1 (contains salt) (* Note: No wheat is good with the wheat gluten scare) +3 contains fruit +3 vegetables +1 oatmeal +1 glucosamine and chondroitin 97 points Ingredients: Chicken meal (low ash), steamed oatmeal, ground whole rice, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols, citric acid and rosemary), rice bran, ground flaxseed (source of Omega 3), beet pulp, herring oil (natural source of DHA and EPA), chicken broth, yeast extract (Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation solubles), chicory root (FOS), steamed sweet potato, dried whole egg, yucca shidigera, glucosamine HCl (powdered lobster shell), chondroitin sulfate (shark cartilage), marigold extract (source of lutein), L-carnitine supplement, Atlantic kelp, carrots, tomatoes (natural source of lycopene), apples, whole garlic, parsley, rosemary extract, cranberry, sea salt, potassium chloride, choline chloride, lysine, vitamin A supplement, dl alpha-tocopherol acetate (vitamin E), methionine, vitamin D3 supplement, *iron Bioplex?, *zinc Bioplex?, *manganese Bioplex?, biotin, *copper Bioplex?, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin K supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride (source of vitamin B6), vitamin B12, folic acid. *chelated mineral Guaranteed Analysis: Protein (min.) --- 27.0% Fat (min.) --- 15.0% Fiber (max.) --- 2.5 % Moisture (max.) --- 10.0% Calcium (min.) --- 1.1% Phosphorus (min.) --- 1.0 % Glucosamine (min.) --- 450 mg/kg Chondroitin (min.) --- 75 mg/kg Lutein (min.) --- 10 mg/kg * Vitamin E (min.) --- 300 IU/kg L-carnitine (min.) --- 250 mg/kg Omega-6 (min.) --- 2.9 % * Omega-3 (min.) --- 0.7 % *
