Mixing bowl composition
This is the ingredients list as printed on the packaging or manufacturer's website.
Think of the 'mixing bowl' composition like a recipe - all the ingredients you would need to put in a 'mixing bowl' in order to make the food.
Ingredients have to be listed in descending order of their weight so the higher it appears, the more there is.
Highlighted ingredients
Ingredients that we believe to be controversial or inferior are highlighted in yellow with particularly low grade, highly contentious or excessively vague ingredients in red.
Information in italics is not usually avaialble on the ingredients list but has been provided to us by the manufacturer to help with our ratings.
As fed composition
While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients.
For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.
Please note that these figures are very approximate. They are estimates based on the information provided by the manufacturer in the ingredients list so the clearer the terminology and the more percentages they provide, the more accurate our estimates will be. Wherever information is lacking, we always assume the worst.
Ingredient categories
◉ Meat ingredients: includes all meat and fish ingredients except isolated fats/oils.
◉Added oils and fats: includes all isolated oil and fat ingredients.
◉ Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements.
◉ Fruit and veg: includes all whole vegetables and fruits.
◉ Other: all other ingredients. Mostly made up by nutritional supplements and additives.
For more information on any ingredient, please take a look at our Dog Food Ingredient Glossary
The dry matter level of a nutrient is the percentage there would be in the food if all of the water was removed.
With water taken out of the equation, these figures allow the nutrient levels of foods of different types (like wet and dry) to be compared on an even playing field.

Canine Choice is not all natural. They use artificial flavours. I am surprised all about dog food does not know this.

Many thanks for posting Ralphie. Do you know what artificial flavours they use? And where did you find the information? Thanks again

As posted by someone else this too did not agree with our Labrador. His enthusiasm for the food slowly decreased until he would refuse to eat it completely. The only way I can now get him to finish the bag is to mix in some wet food. Once the bag is gone I will not be re-purchasing which is a shame as it seems such high quality.

Sadly did not agree with my Labrador. Tried to move him from Millies but he was less enthusiastic about his meals and once the percentage reached 25% Millies/75% Canine choice he vomited yellow bile each morning for 5 days. I think he was digesting it too quickly leaving his stomach empty. As soon as I changed back the vomiting stopped, however I am mixing the remains of the bag with 4 parts Millies to 1 part Canine Choice to use it up and he's fine.

Very good. Use it as a break from Aatu. Dogs eat every pellet. Grain free and high score on nutrition and ingredients. Seems to go a long way!
