Manufacturer's product description
" We all love our dogs and see them as an important member of the family. They are endearing, very loyal pets and they deserve the right diet to keep them fit and healthy. Wolf of Wilderness Green Fields dry dog food is made with fresh chicken and tender lamb which provide valuable animal protein so you know that you are feeding your dog with a species appropriate diet. The premium quality ingredients provide your trusty pet with a tasty, natural meal. This delicious kibble is well accepted and suitable for dogs with nutritional sensitivities.
Many believe that the domesticated dog originates from the wolf, so its diet in the wild would be mainly carnivorous with some fruit, herbs and botanicals. Research into the wolves' natural eating habits shows that their diet consists of mostly meat and some berries, wild herbs and roots. This diet has remained unchanged throughout the course of evolution.
Wolf of Wilderness Green Fields is based on these eating habits and will appeal to your dog's natural instincts. The flavoursome dry food is similar to the wolf's natural diet. It is well accepted and provides your pet with a balanced nutrient uptake.
Dogs love the great taste of protein rich chicken and lamb. Wolf of Wilderness contains 61% pure meat; the only other ingredients are fruits of the forest (mixed berries), wild herbs and roots. It has a low carbohydrate content since a wild wolf rarely consumes carbohydrates. It is grain free and the only source of carbohydrates and roughage is potatoes which provide natural carbohydrates. They are also fat free and packed with important trace elements and fibre. Cranberries, elderberries, raspberries and black currents, together with dandelion roots and wild herbs such as nettle leaves, camomile, St. John's wort, common yarrow, coltsfoot, dandelion root, mugwort provide important minerals as well as secondary plant matter.

Wolf of Wilderness "The Taste of Scandinavia " is based on the wild wolf's eating habits and this great-tasting dry food is similar to the wolf's natural diet. It provides your pet with a balanced, nutritious meal and is well accepted. Many believe that the domesticated dog originated from the wolf, so its diet in the wild would be mainly carnivorous. Research into wolves' natural eating habits shows that their diet consists of mostly meat or fish and some berries, wild herbs, roots and botanicals, with very few carbohydrates. In Scandinavia this would include reindeer and salmon as well as wild chicken. The wolf's diet has remained unchanged throughout the course of evolution and this is why the recipes are grain-free. The ingredients include lots of regional fresh meat, complemented by wild herbs, roots and berries. Peas, field beans and chickpeas are a valuable source of plant protein.

Mixing bowl composition
This is the ingredients list as printed on the packaging or manufacturer's website.
Think of the 'mixing bowl' composition like a recipe - all the ingredients you would need to put in a 'mixing bowl' in order to make the food.
Ingredients have to be listed in descending order of their weight so the higher it appears, the more there is.
Highlighted ingredients
Ingredients that we believe to be controversial or inferior are highlighted in yellow with particularly low grade, highly contentious or excessively vague ingredients in red.
As fed composition
While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients.
For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.
Please note that these figures are very approximate. They are estimates based on the information provided by the manufacturer in the ingredients list so the clearer the terminology and the more percentages they provide, the more accurate our estimates will be. Wherever information is lacking, we always assume the worst.
Ingredient categories
Meat ingredients: includes all meat and fish ingredients except isolated fats/oils.
Added oils and fats: includes all isolated oil and fat ingredients.
Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements.
Fruit and veg: includes all whole vegetables and fruits.
Other: all other ingredients. Mostly made up by nutritional supplements and additives.
For more information on any ingredient, please take a look at our Dog Food Ingredient Glossary
The dry matter level of a nutrient is the percentage there would be in the food if all of the water was removed.
With water taken out of the equation, these figures allow the nutrient levels of foods of different types (like wet and dry) to be compared on an even playing field.

All suggested feeding amounts and costs are only approximate and may vary considerably from dog to dog. Be sure to contact the manufacturer if in any doubt.
70 out of 100-Good
Our unique product ratings are calculated based on a number of characteristics including the quality and quantity of the stated ingredients, certain nutritional and technological additives and the processing methods used to create the food. They are designed to indicate how beneficial we think a food is likely to be for the majority of dogs when fed on a daily basis for an extended period. Click here for more information
Country of origin: Germany
A technological additive is any substance added to a pet food "for a technological purpose and which favourably affects the characteristics of feed".
The most common categories of technological additives include preservatives and antioxidants, gelling agents and thickeners and probiotics.
While the primary effects of technoloical additives are certainly 'favourable' (increased shelf life in the case of preservatives & antioxidants, better food texture and consistency in the case of gelling agents and thickeners etc.) some have been linked to health problems in pets and should be treated with caution.
Unfortunately, many technological additives do not have to be declared by the manufacturer so just because they do not appear on the label does not necessarily mean they are not in the food. If in doubt, ask the manufacturer directly exactly what technological additives their foods contain.
