The first ingredient is 'Meat and animal by-products,' which is an unnamed, low-quality protein source that drags the ingredient quality down despite a specific 4% chicken mention. On the positive side, the formula is very low in carbohydrate fillers (est. 13% DMB) and provides a strong 48.6% DMB protein, free from artificial preservatives, colors, and gums.
