Ideally, you're looking for quality protein sources with a minimum of cheap starches, fillers or by-products.

Evo Herring & Salmon Formula Adult Dog Food includes the following:

Note - a bolded ingredient in the above tables indicates it is one of the first five ingredients listed by the product manufacturer.

In this case, Evo Herring & Salmon Formula Adult Dog Food's most plentiful ingredient listed is herring, which is considered a quality protein source. It also contains salmon meal as additional quality protein sources.

*Note that some nutritional percentages reported are only estimated values, and are indicated as such as (est). Each dog food manufacturer is required by law to publish a Guaranteed Analysis, which defines each product's maximum values of fiber, moisture and ash in addition to the minimum values of protein and fat contained within. Exact nutritional percentages are not available and hence all calculated values (including carbohydrate percentages and calorie amounts) are determined using these minimum and maximum published values and therefore may differ from actual values.
