the difference  
 

What is the difference? Some dog food manufacturers list chicken or lamb as their primary ingredient, but what are you really getting? Water contributes up to 65% of the weight of fresh chicken or lamb. After the water is removed during processing, chicken or lamb is no longer the primary ingredient!

The difference between “dried chicken or lamb meat” and “chicken or lamb” is mostly water! In fact, wet chicken or lamb contributes a very small percentage of the total protein found in a finished product. The best way to understand what you are buying is to read the label. Real dried chicken or lamb meats are typically the first ingredients in Nutro CHOICE dog foods.

We never use ground corn, barley, sorghum or chicken heads, feet or intestines in our dog foods. Superior digestibility means that your dog will have smaller, more compact stool and a reduction in stool volume. Because of the quality ingredients and high nutritional density in Nutro CHOICE dog foods, you may actually find it less expensive to feed.
