    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."

    Oatmeal:Oatmeal is a decent quality grain. Experts say that Oatmeal is an excellent source of carbohydrates and energy. Oatmeal is a great alternative grain for dogs that are suffering from allergies. Currently there is no official AAFCO definition for Oatmeal.

    Ground Barley: Ground Barley is a decent quality grain. Ground Barley is an excellent source of fiber and studies show that whole grain barley can lower cholesterol. For dogs suffering from allergies, Ground Barley is an excellent grain source.

    Salmon Meal: Although there is no official definition for Salmon Meal, the current AAFCO definition for Fish Meal is:"The clean, dried, ground tissue of undecomposed whole fish or fish cuttings, either or both, with or without the extraction of part of the oil. It must contain not more than 10% moisture. If it contains more than 3% salt (NaCl), the amount of salt must constitute a part of the product name, provided that in no case must the salt content of this product exceed 7%. “.

      My dog was having digestion and allergy problems to 3 previous puppy foods. I tried her on wellness puppy and she loves it and is doing great! she has a lot more energy and her coat shines.

      Tried Wellness Super5Mix large breed puppy and after a slow and careful introduction my 10 week old Labrador Retriever still has loose diarrhea stools.
      Took him to the Vest three days ago and did a fecal exam-nothing showed up but we put him on Albon for safety sake. Now have him on Rice mixed with pumpkin and chicken to try and stabalize him.
      THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
