My dog had very bad digestive issues. Since we switched her to Royal Canin Gastrointestinal she has been doing very well. Plus, she loves it.” Sample buyer review…“My English Bulldog Ruth seemed to be allergic to everything. She kept getting rashes on her underbelly and ear infections. We had her on royal canine Rx special food but she hated the taste of it. It was always partially eaten. We heard about this and thought to give it a try. She liked it from day 1 and her rashes cleared up within days. No problem with stool either. I feel like we won the lottery with this dog food.” A popular, limited ingredient diet that’s free of gluten, grain, wheat and soy. Highly recommended. The third ingredient is wheat.

First 5 ingredients: Turkey Tails, turkey gizzards, turkey wings, turkey liver, WFR vitamin + mineral mix This We Feed Raw Turkey Patties derives most of its animal protein from turkey. Dry matter label analysis reveals the recipe contains 49% protein, 25% fat and 18% estimated carbs… producing a fat-to-protein ratio of about 52%. The sixth ingredient is beef fat. Beef fat (or tallow) is most likely obtained from rendering, a process similar to making soup in which the fat itself is skimmed from the surface of the liquid. Next, fish oil is naturally rich in the prized EPA and DHA type of omega-3 fatty acids. These two high quality fats boast the highest bio-availability to dogs and humans. The next ingredient is soybean meal, a by-product of soybean oil production more commonly found in farm animal feeds.
