    1. Deboned Turkey
    2. Chicken Meal
    3. Salmon Meal
    4. Oatmeal
    5. Ground Brown Rice
    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.

    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.

    Whole Ground Brown Rice:Whole Ground Brown Rice is a decent quality grain. The current AAFCO definition for Ground Whole Brown Rice is:" the entire product obtained by grinding the rice kernels after the hulls have been removed."

      We fed this to our pomapoo Lilah for about 6-8 months. It is good quality, it even has an expiration date because it doesn’t have preservatives. However, the pet store was pretty far away so we switched her to a food that we could buy closer to our home. But, I just read that the chicken soup for the dog lover’s soul food may be carcinogenic, so I will probably switch her food again. She didn’t like the taste of wellness, but she is very picky.

      Wellness small bites is a great product. The big problem is I have four small dogs and they only sell two sizes (small) for alot of money. Many of us have small dogs and would rather buy a 26 lb bag than the small bags. Well, I have decided to buy kirkland small bites in their large bag.
