Ingredients Analysis
The first ingredient in this dog food is chicken broth. Broths are of only modest nutritional value. Yet because they add both flavor and moisture to a dog food, they are a common addition component in many canned products.
The second ingredient is water, which adds nothing but moisture to this food. Water is a routine finding in most wet dog foods.
The third ingredient is chicken. Chicken is considered “the clean combination of flesh and skin… derived from the parts or whole carcasses of chicken”.1
Chicken is naturally rich in the 10 essential amino acids required by a dog to sustain life.
The fourth ingredient beef. 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.2
Beef is naturally rich in all 10 essential amino acids required by a dog to sustain life.
The next ingredient is potato starch. Potato starch is a gluten-free carbohydrate used more for its thickening properties than its nutritional value.
The sixth ingredient includes carrots, which are rich in beta-carotene, minerals and dietary fiber.
The seventh ingredient includes green beans, a healthy vegetable notable for its vitamin, mineral and natural fiber content.
After natural flavor we find chicken liver. This is an organ meat sourced from a named animal and thus considered a beneficial component.
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 this Wellness product.
With one notable exception…
First, this food contains chelated minerals, minerals that have been chemically attached to protein. This makes them easier to absorb. Chelated minerals are usually found in better dog foods.
Nutrient Analysis
Based on its ingredients alone, Wellness Complete Health Petite Entrees Mini Filets with Roasted Chicken, Beef, Carrots and Green Beans looks like an above-average wet product.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 42.1%, a fat level of 24.1% and estimated carbohydrates of about 19.4%.
As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 42.1% and a mean fat level of 24.1%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 19.3% for the overall product line.
And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 57%.
Which means this Wellness product line contains…
Near-average protein. Below-average fat. And above-average carbs when compared to a typical wet dog food.
