Product Information

Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements. The next ingredient is ground rice, another name for rice flour. Ground rice is made from either white or brown rice and is considered a gluten-free substitute for wheat flour. But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of this Rachael Ray product. Rachael Ray Nutrish Limited Ingredient is grain-inclusive dry dog food that uses a moderate amount of named meat meal as its main source of animal protein, thus receiving 3 stars. First, we find no mention of probiotics, friendly bacteria applied to the surface of the kibble after processing to help with digestion.

With Just 6 simple ingredients that you know and recognise, you can feel good knowing this tasty recipe gives all the natural goodness your dog needs and more. Nothing they don't. The second ingredient is brown rice, a complex carbohydrate that (once cooked) can be fairly easy to digest. However, aside from its natural energy content, rice is of only modest nutritional value to a dog. For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.

We only call your attention here to the controversy and believe the inclusion of beet pulp in reasonable amounts in most dog foods is entirely acceptable. The fourth ingredient is beet pulp. Beet pulp is a controversial ingredient, a high fiber by-product of sugar beet processing. Below-average protein. Below-average fat. And above-average carbs when compared to other dry dog foods. Next, this recipe includes sodium selenite, a controversial form of the mineral selenium. Sodium selenite appears to be nutritionally inferior to the more natural source of selenium found in selenium yeast. Not only does the high meat content make it delicious, but diets rich in protein also provide the nutrients for a happy, healthy dog.

While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients. Free of any plant-based protein boosters, this looks like the profile of a kibble containing just a moderate amount of meat. Our Rating of Rachael Ray Nutrish Limited Ingredient Dog Food Some denounce beet pulp as an inexpensive filler while others cite its outstanding intestinal health and blood sugar benefits. The following automated list (if present) includes all dog food recalls since 2009 related to Rachael Ray. And lastly, this food contains chelated minerals, minerals that have been chemically attached to protein. This makes them easier to absorb. Chelated minerals are usually found in better dog foods.
