There are 1 Concerned and 0 Notice ingredients from Dry Raw Food Complete Plus Beef. Check from the above list to view the details.

Concerned

  • Beetroot

Estimated Meat Content

Some pet food uses high plant protein ingredients to boost up the overall protein level — to make it looks like it includes a lot of meat, which is more appealing for customers.

Therefore, protein level itself cannot tell the quality and how much animal ingredients (more digestible than plants) is in the pet food.

Check if protein is overrated by plant protein boost up
Count of Plant Protein
0 / 7 (0%)
in top 7 ingredients
Protein Level
48%
in dry matter

By looking at the plant protein in top ingredients and compare with the total protein level, we will try to estimate how much animal ingredients is used in the pet food as Meat Content.

Meat Content

Based on my "godly" guess, the meat content might be High !

It looks like it is made of primarily animal ingredients, and most protein should come from animal sources. Your furbabies will love it just like me!

肉味很重，跟平常狗糧不太一樣，可能是因為它是風乾的，聞起來很香

顆粒比較大一點
