Piko feed composition

Let s consider the composition of Piko dry food using the example of the “Tender Beef” option, for dogs of medium and large breeds:

The manufacturer has separately recorded a list of meat and a list of herbal ingredients. But if you combine them, it turns out that three of the first four ingredients are vegetable – wheat 25%, corn flour 20%, rice 15%. All of them are sources of carbohydrates.

Minced meat 20%, meat flour 10% – protein sources. The truth is not clear, 20% of the minced meat is fresh or after the preparation of the feed. If the first option, then in the final granules you get only about 6-10% minced meat, and the total content of meat ingredients is not more than 20%. In this case, at least one third of the 22% protein indicated in the guaranteed analysis is of plant origin.

Animal fat 5%, vegetable oil 5% – sources of fats and fatty acids. Not specified any specific animal fats, or any plant oils.

There is no information on the preservatives used.

Olga writes:

Firstly, there was a complaint about delivery – they brought feed for medium and large breeds instead of small and medium ones. Okay, that s half the trouble. She took it, the French decided to gnaw it. The food itself is terrible: the smell of sourness all over the house, all three dogs almost turned inside out from vomiting after taking the food. I did not listen to the reviews, which I really regretted. My advice is not to take if your favorites are dear to you.
