Sorry almost all wellness and core has nengaden fish meal. The chicken core, which doesn’t state where the chicken originated, has salmon oil.

I decided it’s no big deal all to make homemade meals with a vet approved supplement. Almost every brand is now taken over by the big companies with resulting menu changed

I know this is an older post but thought it important to point out that many brands/recipes are making ingredient changes without allowing consumers. My dog has been happy with Natures Recipe grain free salmon pumpkin for a long time. Recently started having loose stools etc. Found postings from other consumers recently with the same problem so contacted manufacturer to discover that they added menhaden fish meal for the salmon and added pea protein to replace tapioca. Nothing on the packaging showed the was a recipe change. Even though my dog isn’t fish sensitive, adding the cheaper menhaden and the controversial peas imho is unethical. I guess the only recourse is to take a pic on ingredients and compare every time you make a purchase. (I also want aware the company has been purchased by Smucker!) I’m checking the suggestions above to see if I can find a good replacement

YMMV but I personally see too many red flags. I read through the ‘complete ingredient list’ but it was definitely not all ingredients. I do thithink eastern medicine has a place in helping to prevent diseases, but it makes me crazy when herbs are dumped into a ‘proprietary blend’ and the pet should then ingest it every day. Most OD s that use herbal remedies provide a specific formulation for each patient based on symptoms, patient are history etc. And I would expect same for animals. Many herbs are not meant to be taken for long periods of time; some lose efficacy, others can build up. Its also unclear if many of these ingredients are naturally produced or synthetic. Sorry Shane but but I think while this may be okay for some animals, it’s not worth the many negative experiences listed.
