Mine had canned salmon, unsalted canned green beans and carrot slices with thier kibble tonight. Totally clean pans! They LOVE fish. I give them more mackeral than salmon, but they love them both....especially fresh caught mackeral. I once told how I had given our cat so much fresh caught, baked fish that if I tried to give her canned food that was suppose to be fish, she turned her nose up at i and walk away. however, she would eat the canned mackeral or salmon--totally fish, not cat or dog food.

I wonder exaclty how much of the lower ingredients are actually added. I remember once my sister and I were out to eat when she made a visit to us in Ohio and the menu said hamburger, fries and onion rings. My sister commented that we would probably get two onion rings each and if ther were two, they could advertise onion rings. Guess what, a huge pile of fries and TWO little onion rings.

Once my dad was eating a well known brand of chicken noodle soup and there may have been 3-4 little pices of chicken in it and he said "Well, i think they just ran a chicken thru the water so they could advertise chicken soup.

I often wondered about the ingredeints listed on ANY dog food (or people food). Do they add two eggs to 1000 pounds so they can advertise eggs? Do they add three pounds of chicken per 1000 pounds so they can advertise chicken? etc, etc.

But actually that salmon meal and rice food does sound like my dogs would enjoy it and if dogs aren't allergic to any of the ingredeints, why not!

Those last ingredients are the ingredient base of their freeze-dried and raw foods - they use that as their gimmicky "bio-coating". So the amounts are negligible.
