Food 2 seems like it has a much higher meat content like you said, but it also has more vegetables and minerals. I think it would be a better food overall.
By Love is a GSD eats *people* food
Just from ingredients, I like food 2 a lot better. Food 1 only has one meat source, chicken, in only 1 ingredient spot.
Then the next two ingredients are rice.
If you combine the two types of rice into one ingredient source, I bet they would be more numerous then the meat source.
Then you have oats as a main ingredient. Why? Dog’s can’t digest grains like rice and oats, why are they the most numerous ingredients in the food? Beat Pulp is next, which can cause NUMEROUS health problems. One being that the beat pulp can actually cause a mucus layer to form in the intestines. This mucus layer can actually prevent digestion, and cause food to store up and begin to ferment. Yeast infection in the intestines.
The first 3 ingredients in food 2 is different meat sources, which is good.
Then you have plant matter which isn’t super digestible, but that is followed by even more meat sources, which includes meat and fish.
Although I don’t agree with all the plant matter included, it has a lot of different meat sources and no pointless grains to act as fillers.
The protein level is a little high, but I wouldn’t be too concerned. Protein from meat matter, which I assume that is, is a lot different then protein from plant matter. Because food 2 has so many different meat ingredients, it’s expected that the protein will be a little higher.
So, DEFINETLY food 2, in my opinion

Personal opinion of course, but I wouldn’t even put my CATS on a 42% protein diet.
That kind of formula is what you would expect a “musher” to have their dogs on when when actively training for the Iditarod sled dog race.
It is NOT a food intended for a household pet.

unless your dog is extremely active feed the first one a diet to high in protein can cause hyperness or/and kidney failure
By Just the facts
You’re feeding a g-d PET DAWG. . . . Not a fing GRIZZLY BEAR!!!
Wake UP. . . Get real.

Hi Everyone
Do we really know what is in some of the products we feed our beloved pets i would say the majority of people just buy it off the shelf and give it to there pets without even knowing or reading the fine print i know for a fact that i myself at times have fed my best mate sophie scraps off the dinner table not knowing it could be harmful to her shes a harlequin great dane and not even thinking for a minute that it might cause her harm or even worse I really think we as a society should take a lot more care when it comes to our beloved companions , i know for a fact if i go out for dinner to a restaurant with my wife and it looks bad smells bad and even tastes bad ill send it back to the kitchen ;so why should our pets be any different . I recently came across a great product that was so much help to me as a pet owner do yourself a favour and check it out it could save you a lot of money Cheers Bj
