Janet - I'm curious. How can you tell how much that cooked chicken and turkey
weighs - I mean even after cooking how do you know from the label they still
aren't the top two ingredients? Also, why are you ignoring the next two
ingredients which are chicken meal and turkey meal and saying that grains are
the next ingredients in the food, don't the chicken/turkey meals count too?

So Chicken Soup's first 2 ingredients are Chicken and Turkey. This is their
weight before cooking, so after cooking they get knocked down on the list as
an ingredient. The rest of the label has: whole grain brown rice, whole
grain white rice, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), oatmeal,
potatoes, cracked pearled barley, millet, duck, salmon, egg product, flaxseed,
natural chicken flavor, kelp, carrots, peas, apples, dried skim milk,
cranberry powder, rosemary extract, parsley flake, potassium etc, etc. Linda
studies
nutrition, dog foods and is very versed on this subject. So is Paul. I
just read their articles and learn what I can from them.
