Ingredients Analysis
The first ingredient is turkey thigh. Turkey is considered “the clean combination of flesh and skin… derived from the parts or whole carcasses of turkey”.1
Turkey is naturally rich in the 10 essential amino acids required by a dog to sustain life.
The second ingredient is potato. Potatoes can be considered a gluten-free source of digestible carbohydrates. Yet with the exception of perhaps their caloric content, potatoes are of only modest nutritional value to a dog.
The third ingredient is sweet potato which are a gluten-free source of complex carbohydrates in a dog food. They are naturally rich in dietary fiber and beta carotene.
The next ingredient lists salmon. Salmon is an oily marine and freshwater fish not only high in protein but also omega 3 fatty acids, essential oils needed by every dog to sustain life.
The fifth item includes green beans, a healthy vegetable notable for its vitamin, mineral and natural fiber content.
The sixth ingredient is spinach. Due to its exceptional vitamin and mineral content, spinach exhibits a remarkably high nutrient Completeness Score2 of 91.
The seventh ingredient includes cranberries, a nutrient-rich fruit that’s also high in fiber.
The eighth ingredient is calcium carbonate, likely used here as a dietary mineral supplement.
The ninth ingredient is Iodized salt which is a common salt (sodium chloride) containing no less that 0.007% iodine, which is uniformly distributed. Iodized salt is included within pet foods as a source of iodine, an essential nutrient in the diet, likely used here as a dietary mineral supplement.
From here, the list goes on to include a number of other items.
But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of this product.
With three notable exceptions…
First, we note the inclusion of fish oil. Fish oil is naturally rich in the prized EPA and DHA type of omega-3 fatty acids. These two high quality fats boast the highest bio-availability to dogs and humans.
Depending on its level of freshness and purity, fish oil should be considered a commendable addition.
Next, the minerals listed here do not appear to be chelated. And that can make them more difficult to absorb. Chelated minerals are usually associated with higher quality dog foods.
And lastly, we find a detailed list of naturally present nutrients on the company’s website.
Nutrient Analysis
Based on its ingredients alone, My Perfect Pet Hunter’s Turkey and Salmon Grain Free Dog Food looks like an above-average product.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 42.6%, a fat level of 13.2% and estimated carbohydrates of about 35.6%.
As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 43.1% and a mean fat level of 15.5%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 32.9% for the overall product line.
And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 37%.
Which means this My Perfect Pet product contains…
Above-average protein. Below-average fat. And above-average carbs when compared to a typical wet dog food.
Free of any plant-based protein boosters, this looks like the profile of a wet dog food containing a liberal amount of meat.
Although we rarely comment on any features besides those detailed on the label, we feel compelled to mention that all ingredients used to make these products are USDA/FDA certified restaurant grade and fully cooked to FDA standards.
