Gluten is the rubbery residue remaining once corn has had most of its starchy carbohydrate washed out of it.

The sixth ingredient is beef fat. Beef fat (or tallow) is most likely obtained from rendering, a process similar to making soup in which the fat itself is skimmed from the surface of the liquid. Sample buyer review…“My English Bulldog Ruth seemed to be allergic to everything. She kept getting rashes on her underbelly and ear infections. We had her on royal canine Rx special food but she hated the taste of it. It was always partially eaten. We heard about this and thought to give it a try. She liked it from day 1 and her rashes cleared up within days. No problem with stool either. I feel like we won the lottery with this dog food.” For your pet’s health, see your veterinarian regularly. This product is not intended to diagnose, cure, or prevent disease.
