    Chicken:Chicken is a decent quality ingredient. Although it is a little deceiving. The ingredient “Chicken”, not in the “Meal’” form is inclusive of its water content. Meaning, once the water content is removed (during the cooking process) this ingredient can lose up to %75 of its weight, thus likely to fall further in the ingredients list. Chicken is the clean combination of flesh and skin with or without accompanying bone, derived from the parts or whole carcasses of chicken- exclusive of feathers, heads, feet, and entrails.

    Chicken Meal: Chicken Meal is an excellent protein source. Unlike the ingredient “Chicken”, the water content has been removed from this ingredient. The AAFCO definition is the following: "Chicken which has been ground or otherwise reduced in particle size."

    Brown Rice: : The incomplete AAFCO definition of Brown Rice is the following: "unpolished rice after the kernels have been removed. Not a complete AAFCO definition." Brown Rice is a decent quality ingredient. Brown Rice is a high quality carbohydrate that is high in fiber.

    Corn:When used in reasonable amount corn is not a horrible ingredient. What we don’t want to see is corn used as a main protein source. Named meat sources should be listed before this ingredient, the more the better. Any recipe that uses corn as a main source of protein will be deemed as lower quality. The current AAFCO definition of corn is: “unspecified corn product. Not a complete AAFCO definition.”

    Oats: : Oats are of decent quality and considered to be a quality grain.
