Ingredient Review

Our review of Purina Beyond Organic Chicken begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Organic Chicken. Organic chicken is meat from chickens that have been raised without antibiotics and fed organic feed. In pet food, organic chicken is a good source of protein and other essential nutrients.

The second ingredient is Organic Chicken Meal. In pet food, organic chicken meal is often listed as a source of protein. Organic chicken meal is produced by baking and grinding chicken meat and skin from chickens that have been raised without antibiotics and fed organic food. As a dry form of animal protein, it is most often found in kibble and treats.

The third ingredient is Organic Cassava Root Flour. Organic Cassava Root Flour is rich in carbohydrates, vitamins C, niacin, riboflavin, and thiamin. Organic Cassava Root Flour when used in pet cookies provides your pet with lots of energy and is suitable for gluten-sensitive pets.

The fourth ingredient is Organic Pea Starch. Organic Pea Starch is packed with proteins, fiber, potassium, and vitamins. Organic Pea Starch improves the color and palatability of pet food. Organic Pea Starch also supports gastrointestinal tract health

The fifth ingredient is Organic Canola Meal. Organic Canola Meal is produced from Canola seeds after oil extraction. Organic Canola Meal helps in boosting protein levels in pets. Organic Canola Meal also contains omega-3&6 fatty acids that promote a healthy skin

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.
