Chicken Soup: 4 out of 5 Stars
Has anybody heard of Chicken Soup for the Puppy Soul.. or whatever its called? Im feeding Innova Puppy (which he is doing great on, but $50+ on a 28lb bag is hurting the wallet at the moment)., but saw chicken soup bla bla bla, and the guy at the store said it was a really good food, no by-products, which is good, holistic, etc???? Thoughts?
P.S I tried TOTW, for those who are going to shove it down my throat, LOL (JK) but my boy doesnt eat it :-(
I'll post the full review in the dog food rating and comparison chart but here is the bottom line:
**** out of *****
Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul
The Bottom Line
Judging by its ingredients alone, Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul appears to be an
above-average dry dog food.
But ingredient quality by itself cannot tell the whole story. We still need to
estimate the product's
meat content before determining a final rating.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 27%, a fat level of 16% and estimated carbohydrates of about 50%.
With its apparently lower protein and fat (a.k.a. meat) content, we have downgraded the Adult Light product to a lower category.
Omitting the lower rated Lite recipe, the remaining products feature an average protein content of 28% and a mean fat level of 15%.
Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 49% for the overall product line.
Average protein. Average fat. And average carbohydrates… when compared to a typical dry dog food.
With no sign of any plant-based protein boosters, this looks like the profile of a kibble containing an
average amount of meat.
Bottom line?
Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul is a
grain-based kibble using a moderate amount of
various poultry meals as its main sources of animal protein… thus earning the brand
four stars.
Highly recommended.
