Bil Jac Reduced Fat Dog Food Review
The most important ingredients of dog food brands are the first five. The ingredients in a label are sorted by weight, with the first ingredients weighing the most. When looking at dog food brands you want a sufficient amount of meat and protein in the first five ingredients, with minimal amounts of grain.
Bil Jac Reduced Fat Dog Food:
- Chicken By-Products (Organs only, Including Chicken Liver)
- Corn
- Chicken
- Dried Beet Pulp
- Brewers Dried Yeast
The first ingredient Chicken By-Product is one that I usually tell people to stay away from. In this case the manufacture states what is included. Now Chicken By-Product ingredients turns into a decent ingredient, organs and chicken liver are very nutritious, and a wonderful part of a dogs diet.
Corn is the second ingredient. Corn provides your dogs with no nutritional value. Dogs digestive system have a hard time digesting this ingredient. If you feed your dog a corn kernel, you will get a corn kernel out. Corn has also been linked to many case of dog allergies.
Chicken is the third ingredient. This ingredient is inclusive of its water content. Meaning that once the water is removed and the products becomes a dry ingredient it will lose a good portion of its weight, thus making it fall further in the ingredients list.
Dried Beet Pulp is the fourth ingredient. Some believe that case of Kidney and Lover problems have been traced back to the us of Beet Pulp.

Review
Even if their by-products are “organs only, including liver” that still shouldn’t be the basis of a dog’s diet. There should be more muscle meat involved to make it more nutritious. Organs are good, they just shouldn’t be the main component.
