Ingredient Review
Our review of Inukshuk Professional Dry Dog Food 26/16 begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Chicken Meal. In pet food, chicken meal is often listed as a source of protein. Chicken meal is produced by baking and grinding chicken meat and skin. As a dry form of animal protein, it is most often found in kibble and treats.
The second ingredient is Fish Meal Herring. Fish meal herring is the ground, dried tissue from the herring fish. In pet food, fish meal herring can serve as a source of easily digested protein, amino acids, and essential fatty acids to benefit your companion’s overall health.
The third ingredient is Anchovy. Anchovy is a general term for small marine fishes called anchovies, and generally refers to the entire fish rather than meat alone. When added to pet food, anchovy can be a good source of protein, amino acids, and essential fatty acids to benefit your companion’s overall wellbeing.
The fourth ingredient is Ground Whole Grain Barley. Ground whole grain barley is a cereal grain that has been milled into smaller fragments for better digestibility. In pet food, whole grain ground barley serves as a source of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals including iron.
The fifth ingredient is Ground Whole Grain Corn. Ground whole grain corn is made with cooked and/or dried kernels from any corn species. In pet food, ground whole grain corn can be a filler as well as source of inexpensive protein, carbohydrates, and fiber.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Inukshuk Professional Dry Dog Food 26/16, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.

Nutritional Analysis
Your adult dog needs a balance of macro and micronutrients to thrive. A food formulated for adult maintenance or all life stages is made to meet these needs. While there can be a lot of variation in actual calorie density, adult dog foods are generally intended to provide for basic calorie needs of the average active dog. In addition to satisfying their energy needs, these foods provide the protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and other nutrients your adult dog needs to survive. Again, not all adult foods are the same, so you may have to search around for the right fit for your dog.
