If your dog is allergic to chicken that would be a problem. For example, you could buy Beef Dinner for Dogs expecting to feed your dog beef, and get 25 percent beef and 20 percent chicken. What’s more, the manufacturer can include something in the food that you don’t expect. The term “dinner” is often used but you can also see terms like “formula,” “platter,” “nuggets” or other words that would indicate the food is not just meat. With the water removed, the meat content could be as low as 10 percent of the food. That means the food is at least 25 percent beef but less than 95 percent (without the water removed). However! And this is a big however… if the food says that it is “Beef Dinner for Dogs,” that means something completely different. If it says the food is chicken and liver, then it must be 95 percent chicken and liver before the water is counted. Per the FDA, “beef for dogs” means the food should be at least 95 percent beef (70 percent after the water has cooked away). When a food says that it is beef “flavor” dog food (or cat food), that should send up a red flag for you.
