EVOLVE DOG FOOD

EVOLVE DOG FOOD

Evolve brand dog food formulas are produced and marketed by Triumph Pet Industries. Triumph Pet Industries started in 1947, during WWII. At that time, Fred Bostick Jr. and Omer J. Bullen founded Sunshine Mills, Inc. which was a corn meal company. The first pet food formula that the company manufactured was an experimental mixture in a wheelbarrow, made of corn flakes and pork cracklings. It wasn’t until 1967 until the company officially entered the pet food business. In 2007, Sunshine Mills, Inc became the distributor of three dog food brands – Hi-Tor, Triumph and Evolve.

EVOLVE DOG FOOD REVIEW

Evolve brand dog food formulas are primarily based around meat meals and rice ingredients. In some cases, there is a meat ingredient listed among the first five ingredients (such as “chicken” or “lamb), though it could be argued since this is a real meat ingredient, it contains a large percentage of water. In some cases, this would mean that the main ingredient in some of these formulas is a carbohydrate. Many of Evolve’s formulas contain flaxseed, which is a source of fiber. Spinach is also included in many formulas. Beet Pulp Fiber is a moderate source of fiber, though some dog nutritional experts claim that it has low digestibility.
