Ingredients Analysis

The first ingredient is bison, a highly digestible and remarkably lean meat, rich in all 10 amino acids required by a dog to sustain life.

The next two ingredients are beef and pork. Beef is defined as “the clean flesh derived from slaughtered cattle” and includes skeletal muscle or the muscle tissues of the tongue, diaphragm, heart or esophagus.1.

Both are also naturally rich in all 10 essential amino acids required by a dog to sustain life.

The next ingredient is meat broth. Broths are of only modest nutritional value. Yet because they add both flavor and moisture to a dog food, they are a common component in many wet products.

The fifth ingredient is chicken liver. This is an organ meat sourced from a named animal and thus considered a beneficial component.

The sixth ingredient is organic sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are a gluten-free source of complex carbohydrates in dog food. They are naturally rich in dietary fiber and beta carotene.

The seventh ingredient is organic peas. Peas are a quality source of carbohydrates. And like all legumes, they’re rich in natural fiber.

However, peas contain about 25% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this dog food.

The eighth ingredient is organic carrots. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, minerals and dietary fiber.

The ninth ingredient is guar gum, a gelling or thickening agent found in many wet pet foods. Refined from dehusked guar beans, guar gum can add a notable amount of dietary fiber to any product.

From here the list goes on to include a number of other items. But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of the product.

With one notable exception…

Since this recipe contains a number of organic ingredients, we feel compelled to grant this line a more favorable status as we consider its final rating.

That’s because organic ingredients must comply with notably more stringent government standards – standards which significantly restrict the use of any synthetic pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, hormones or antibiotics.

Nutrient Analysis

Based on its ingredients alone, Livelong Healthy & Strong Bison + Sweet Potato looks like an above-average wet product.

The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 36.5%, a fat level of 26.9% and an estimated carbohydrate level of 25%.

As a group, the brand features a protein content of 36.5% and a mean fat level of 26.9%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 25% for the overall product line, alongside a fat-to-protein ratio of 74%.

This means Livelong Healthy & Strong wet dog food contains below-average protein, above-average carbohydrate and near-average fat when compared to typical wet dog food.
