13、s“ or “feeding protocols“ rather than Nutrient ProfilesLook for a named meat or meal (“lamb“ or “chicken meal,“ for example, instead of the generic term “meat“) as the first ingredient.,In general, avoid foods that rely on by-products as the sole source of animal protein. By-products consist of orga

14、ns and parts either not desired, or condemned, for human consumption. These rendered products are the most inexpensive sources of animal protein.

For example, if the label indicates a “minimum 21% protein,“ you can be fairly confident it will contain between 21% and 23% protein to ensure it exceeds that minimum guarantee. The same process o

20、ccurs for fat. If there is a 5% minimum guarantee, its very likely that there is at least 1% to 2% more fat in the product than is stated on the label.
