"Animal digest": please define this ingredient, with examples
1979188
I use a site called Dog Food Advisor (www.dogfoodadvisor.com) to check on what I'm about to feed the love of my life, my chow chow Sunny. Their rating on Pro Plan Select is 3 of 5 stars (an average rating - but everybody can't be number 1). For the reliability of their ratings, you will have to check them out yourself. In this insane world of people who will basically kill my dog just to sell their food product ... its very very difficult to find a product to trust (and that he will actually eat). What Dog Food Advisor says about the ingredient 'animal digest' is as follows: "animal digest is a chemically hydrolyzed mixture of animal by-products that is usually sprayed onto the surface of a dry kibble to improve its taste." The address for their review of Pro Plan is: http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/purina-pro-plan-dog-food-selects-dry/ Give it a read and determine for yourself what you think. I think the review there is a fair and relatively non-biased scientific approach worthy of your consideration. I do know that Purina donates a LOT of their Pro Plan food to dog rescues (including the one I got my baby from ... Chow Chow Rescue of Central New York.) From a digestive perspective, Sunny seems to digest Pro Plan better than anything else I've tried. That list includes Blue Buffalo, Natural Balance LID and Alpha Dog formulas, Wellness Core, Royal Canin (vet prescribed non-grain), Solid Gold and Merrick. His coat is spectacular. His energy is amazing (he's 4, so I suspect it would be anyway). The most important thing of all is that he will eat Pro Plan alone ... with nothing added to it (which helps me sleep better). I can't give you a specific definition for 'animal digest,' but I do believe that Pro Plan is a good food for your dog (esp if he or she has sensitive skin / stomach issues). I hope this helps.

Animal digest is added to pet food to add flavor. The source can be from poultry, fish, or beef depending on what flavor is desired. The protein is broken down or in other terms "digested",stemming the name "animal digest", by proteolytic enzymes to allow it to be added to the food. All dog foods have it but some foods relabel it as "flavor" instead for marketing purposes. Hope this helps!

Not directly but the company may use ingredients in the product that have been animal tested. I'm not sure but you can probably Google it

happy to be of help. It contains Norwegian kelp, ground flaxseed, nutritional yeast culture, desicated liver, amino acids and enzymes, garlic, lecithin, calcium citrate, lactobacillus acidophilus. It's supposed to give a good appetite, promote digestion and help keep fleas away. I have to say, they my dogs eat like they were shop vacs, have no problem eliminating, and only the occasional scritch. Seems to work. Hope this was helpful.

Sorry, can't help you. Apparently the ingredients were on the brochure or box which I threw away. I can tell you it works. I will purchase it again.

It doesn't explicitly say, but I see no animal ingredients. It does have sodium benzoate and trace potassium sorbate. But I cannot find any that don't. My guy has been okay with it, no reactions. You have to follow with food, bc of taste. It's primarily b vitamins, and has no iron or apparent metals.

The label that's shown in the Amazon pics clearly says, "Gelatin" which means it's NOT vegetarian. I hate how little accurate information is available on Amazon for supplements. I've spent HOURS trying to find a vegan D3 supplement that doesn't have crap in it. Still searching.

Not according to the label--main ingredients or inactive ingredients. It has Glucosamine, MSM, Chondroitin, Ascorbic Acid, and Manganese. The inactive ingredients includes nutmeg, allspice, brewers yeast (which is good to keep fleas and tickets away, but in a larger quantity than this probably has), chicken liver flavor, silicon dioxide, and stearic acid. I do not have my dog on any pain medications and she is doing well on this by itself. One, twice a day, whereas before I had her on another "advanced hip and joint" compound, 3 tablets , 3 times a day and she still had issues.... Hope this is helpful.

The ingredients are listed on the company's website, http://www.fleaaway.com/safety.htm. It's supposed to be a B-vitamin complex but, as I said, it didn't work at all for my dog. Save your money.

A proprietary blend of Amylase, Protease 4.5 2500 HUT, Bromelian 120000 FCCPU, Cellulase, Hemicellulase, Beta-Glucanase, Protease 6.0, Alpha-Galactosidase 20GalU, Lactase, Phytase, Peptidase. These are the enzymes it says it contains. I am not a vet so I don't know if these are what you need(plant based or not?) I would call or visit your vet with the list and ask if they are what you need. I hope this helps

none listed. inactive ingredients listed are: Brewers Dried Yeast, fish oil, flaxseed meal, Glycerin, lecithin, natural flavoring, oat groats, rice flour, sorbic acid, vegetable oil and wheat germ. Unsure what the "natural flavoring" is. My dogs tolerate it well and it seems to help quite a bit.

I dont have a full ingredient list but I can tell you this much. I have gone through many different dog foods, I bought this brand on a whim and my pit bull wouldnt eat it. It sat in her bowl for two days. The kibble pieces are kind of big. I ended up giving the bag away. I put her on taste of the wild brand food and she cleans her bowl. I know this is a natural dog food, but taste of the wild is better.

If you will google the site that reviews dog food you will find a list of the ingredients.

It appears to be very pure. Very difficult to use. It will eat your meat. It is a digestive enzyme. Save it for the cheap cuts and don't leave it on more than a couple hours.
