Ingredient Review

Our review of True Acre Foods Farmhouse Blend with Beef & Vegetables begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Beef. Beef is meat from any cattle breed. In pet food, beef can be fresh, freeze-dried, dehydrated, ground, or finely processed into beef meal.

The second ingredient is Corn. Corn is a cereal grain that finds its way into countless products. In pet food, corn is usually added as a bulking agent. It is a gluten-free source of carbohydrates for energy and it may offer fiber, vitamins, and minerals as well.

The third ingredient is Wheat. Wheat is a cereal grain that is used in baked products worldwide. The wheat in pet food is a source of carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and other nutrients. It can enhance a crunchy food’s texture or thicken a moist food.

The fourth ingredient is Chicken By-Product Meal. In pet food, chicken by-product meal is often listed as a source of protein. Chicken by-product meal is produced by baking and grinding chicken parts that might not be used for human consumption including necks, feet, entrails, and undeveloped eggs.

The fifth ingredient is Chondroitin Sulfate. Chondroitin sulfate is a natural anti-inflammatory agent that is often combined with glucosamine. The chondroitin sulfate in pet food, treats, and supplements is often intended to support healthy joint function, particularly in aging companion animals.

When we analyzed the ingredients in True Acre Foods Farmhouse Blend with Beef & Vegetables, 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.
