There are, however, still some synthetic supplements including vitamins and chelated minerals. There are also dried fermentation products for probiotic support. This formula starts off strong with one fresh meat and two meat meals as the top three ingredients, followed by gluten-free and grain-free carbohydrates. It is also great to see that this recipe features a premium animal fat in the menhaden fish oil and a plant-based fat as a supplementary source of omega oils.
There are several fresh fruits and vegetables for supplementary fiber and as natural sources for key nutrients, though plenty of synthetic supplements to ensure nutritional balance. All in all, this formula is rich in meat and essential nutrients — it is also likely to be loaded with fresh meat flavor that your dog is going to love. It is an easy alternative to raw food because it offers exceptional nutrition but it has a long shelf-life and an easy feeding process. Simply put, this formula is an excellent source of nutrition for your dog.
Though fresh chicken is the main protein, this recipe also includes fresh turkey and chicken liver. In addition to being rich in protein, chicken liver is also rich in healthy animal fats and loaded with essential nutrients.
Together, these three ingredients contribute to a total crude protein content of 8. After the three sources of protein and water sufficient for processing comes the fifth ingredient — fish oil. Though fish oil is a source of animal fat, it is an unnamed ingredient. The quality of the EVO brand in general suggests that it is probably a safe ingredient. After the fish oil comes natural flavor followed by guar gum as a thickener and an assortment of mineral supplements.
The remaining ingredients consist primarily of vitamin supplements and other nutrients. This recipe starts off strong with fresh chicken as the first ingredient and it is supplemented with both fresh turkey and chicken liver as additional sources of animal protein. It is somewhat disappointing to see fish oil as the only source of fat, though it may be better to see an unnamed animal fat than a named plant-based fat.

At best I had to mix a couple of tablespoons of wet food to the mix. Not the case with EVO. She eats it without added canned food. My first purchase was the chicken flavor.
When I went to reorder, it was out of stock. I will buy the chicken next order. I purchased Evo after my dog got sick with cancer. This brand was one of three or four recommended by Dr.
After my beautiful pooch passed away, I got a new rescue dog and started him on this brand, too. He loves it. But then I had trouble finding the canned. I ended up calling the company Mars , and was told that all EVO is being discontinued due to the high cost of manufacturing it.
I'm really irritated by this after going through all the trouble of transitioning my dog from his old food to this one and now have to do it again.
Even now some sizes of the kibble say temporarily I purchased Evo after my dog got sick with cancer. Even now some sizes of the kibble say temporarily out of stock instead of no longer available.
Oh, well. So now I purchased Solid Gold, which was one of the other brands recommended. Hopefully this one will be around awhile. I love Chewy, but wish you had stated that this brand was being discontinued. Ask your local pet food store to special order Innova Evo dry dog food for you.
