    Deboned Turkey:Turkey is a decent quality ingredient. The ingredient “Turkey”, 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. There is no complete AAFCO definition of Turkey.

    Deboned Chicken:This ingredient is inclusive of its water content, meaning, once the water content is removed this ingredient may fall further in the ingredients list. Although there is no official ingredient for “Deboned Chicken”, the current aafco definition for “Chicken” is: “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.”

    Turkey Meal: Turkey Meal is a quality ingredient that is high in calcium and an excellent source of protein. The official AAFCO definition of Turkey Meal is:"the ground clean combination of flesh and skin with or without accompanying bone, derived from the parts or whole carcasses of turkey or a combination thereof, 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."

    Potatoes : Potatoes are a decent quality ingredient and a great source of carbohydrates.

      We have a westhighland white terrier with calcium oxilate crystals in his urine. We’re wondering whether Wellness Core has a UD diet available?

      Thanks,
