Natural Choice Lite Dog Food Review
As with all dog food recipes the first thing we are going to look at are the first five ingredients. The first five ingredients are a good indication of the quality of the dog food. When looking at the first five ingredients you want to make sure there is plenty of meat and grains are minimal.
Natural Choice Lite Dog Food First Five Ingredients:
- Ground Rice
- Lamb Meal
- Rice Flour
- Rice Bran
- Dried Plain Beet Pulp
Ground rice is the first ingredient and is of decent quality. We would prefer to see a meat sources as the first ingredient.
Lamb Meal is the second ingredient and is a named meat ingredient. A dog’s diet needs to be based around meat and protein that comes from meat.
Rice Flour is a grain fragment and is of lower quality.
Rice Bran is a grain and also a filler. This ingredient offers no nutritional value to this dog food.
Beet Pulp is the fifth ingredient. It is thought by some to be a cause of excess stress on kidneys and cause allergies and ear infections.
