Ingredient Review
Our review of American Natural Premium Grain-Free Ocean Fish Meal & Potato Recipe Dry Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Menhaden Fish Meal. Menhaden fish meal is dried, ground tissue from menhaden fish. In pet food, menhaden fish meal serves as a source of protein, amino acids, and essential fatty acids to help keep your companion’s skin and coat healthy.
The second ingredient is Peas. In pet food, iron proteinate is added as an easily absorbed form of the essential mineral iron. Your pet needs iron to produce hemoglobin, which transports oxygen throughout the body.
