Ingredient Review
Our review of Wysong Epigen Starch-Free Chicken Formula Grain-Free Dry Dog & Cat Food 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 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.

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.
