What does your pet food say?

Chicken meal– dehydrated and defatted chicken. Provides a very digestible source of concentrated protein.

By-products -are produced as a result of processing an animal such as a cow or chicken for select cuts of meat. They may include clean internal organs such as liver, lungs, and heart. Broth and gelatin are also by products. By products can also come from plant sources. By- products are a valuable sources of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Animal Digest– is made by taking muscle and soft tissue from animals processed at USDA inspected facilities and breaking it down with a special digestive process similar to how our own stomachs process meat. This process makes a liquid “digest”.  It is an excellent source of protein and can be sprayed on  dry kibble to increase the flavor and taste of the food.
