    Chicken:Chicken is a decent quality ingredient. Although it is a little deceiving. The ingredient “Chicken”, not in the “Mea’” 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."

    Turkey:Turkey is a decent quality ingredient. Although it is a little deceiving. The ingredient “Turkey”, not in the “Mea’” 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. There is no complete AAFCO definition of Turkey.

    Barley:Barley is a decent quality grain. The current definition for Barley is:” consists of at least 80 percent sound barley and must not contain more than 3 percent heat-damaged kernels, 6 percent foreign material, 20 percent other grains or 10 percent wild oats.”

    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.
