Ingredient Analysis

When evaluating a dog food, the first five ingredients can tell you a lot about the quality of a product as they make up the bulk of the product. Ideally, you're looking for quality protein sources with a minimum of cheap starches, fillers or by-products. Continuing down the ingredient list, look for ingredients that resemble real food with a minimal number of unpronounceable chemicals - the same as you would for human food.

Purina Pro Plan Bright Mind Adult 7+ Turkey & Brown Rice Entrée includes the following:

Quality Ingredients

  • turkey
  • chicken

Questionable Ingredients

  • wheat gluten
  • brown rice
  • corn starch-modified
  • meat by-product
  • soy flour

Potential Allergens

  • wheat gluten
  • corn starch-modified
  • soy flour

*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.
