Personally I'd prefer a higher meat content. Which one is it? It's ok, you can mention names. Big Grin

It's actually one of the better ones - I'm surprised there's not more meat content, though. Have a quick look through this...

Agree with Caryll here, the meat content is low, i'm switching Zeus onto Applaws puppy food which is 75% dried chicken

If the meat content isnt too great I could add Forthglade or something like that to increase the meat. But would that be giving her too much protein? The AD has a 29% content.

It's not a bad food at all, not one of the best IMO (I prefer a higher meat content and no grain) but nowhere near the worst.

Plenty of dogs do well on it.

I don't see a problem with adding Forthglade or something if you'd prefer to do that than feed a complete food with a higher meat content. There's not really any such thing as too much protein as long as it's good quality animal protein. Smile

ETA: The likes of Orijen and Applaws have around 40% protein from an animal source (not grain)
