Ingredient Review

Our review of Wysong Senior with Organic Turkey Canned Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Organic Turkey. Organic turkey comes from turkeys that have been raised without chemicals or antibiotics. It is an easily digested meat that’s relatively low in fat. In pet food, organic turkey might be the primary protein source or it may be part of a blend made with different proteins.

The second ingredient is Brown Rice. Brown rice is a name for whole-grain rice with its outer hull removed. The brown rice in pet food can be a source of carbohydrates and fiber. Brown rice also contains omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals

The third ingredient is Natural Flavor. In pet food, natural flavor can come from animal products, plant sources, or even minerals. Natural flavor is added to pet food to increase palatability, helping your companion enjoy their meals more.

The fourth ingredient is Blueberry. In pet food, blueberry serves as a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support your companion’s immune system and overall well-being. Blueberry also contains fiber and a small amount of easily digestible carbohydrates.

The fifth ingredient is Organic Barley Grass Powder. Organic barley grass powder is made with dehydrated leaves from barley plants. When added to pet food, organic barley grass powder can be a good source of beta carotene, folic acid, amino acids, enzymes and many other nutrients to support your companion’s health.

When we analyzed the ingredients in Wysong Senior with Organic Turkey Canned Dog Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.

Nutritional Analysis

As opposed to formulas intended for growth (puppy) and maintenance (adult), there are no special label requirements or legal definitions for “senior” diets. Senior diets are actually only required to meet the same nutritional needs as for adult diets. This means that there can be a lot of variation and interpretation by different food companies on what makes up a senior diet. Senior diets can have varying amounts of protein, fat, carbs, phosphorus, sodium, and fiber.

The assumptions that all senior pets need low protein, low fat and carbs, low phosphorus and sodium, and high fiber across the board are incorrect. The need for higher or lower levels of these nutrients varies greatly from dog to dog. That’s why it’s very important for senior pets for their pet parents to work with their veterinarian to decide what type of diet is most appropriate. For many young senior pets, the adult diets they’ve been on may be just fine to continue.
