Nature’s Recipe Adult Lamb dog food is very grain heavy and could use another meat ingredient. We do not like seeing sodium bisulfite complex in dog food & Vitamin K can cause liver issues in dogs. Lamb digest is an extremely low grade meat and contains non-decomposed animal tissue and can contain hair, horns, teeth, hooves and feathers. Tomato pomace is a controversial ingredient and used to harden dogs stools.

In many natural foods contain Choline Chloride, but not enough to meet the modern concentration on the animal feed industry, the need for rapid growth.
