How many mg/kg of copper?

Originally posted and answered on chewy.com
Answer by LolaGAug 27, 2024
All Essence dry and wet dog formulas have a minimum copper level of 12.4 mg/kg on a dry matter basis (when all the moisture is removed from the food). This is compliant with AAFCO nutrient guidelines for all life-stage diets. Individual vitamin and mineral levels can vary slightly from production lot to production lot of food. This can be a result of using natural individual raw ingredients in the Essence formulas and the associated variation that comes with using natural ingredients. All of this brand's formulas meet the AAFCO recommendations for dog and cat nutrient profiles. All the Essence diets are life-stage formulas. This means they are nutritionally appropriate for puppies and adult dogs according to AAFCO requirements.

My Asha a 38 lb Moyan sized poodle has been on this dog food for 8 years . She is gonna be 13 Oct 2025 , it is the best food on the market as far as ingredients. This year I started her on pet fresh ( fresh food ) as a topper for it , the essence kibble is tiny little pieces that even a 3 lb dog can eat :) my Asha eats it as treats as well and loves it . I highly recommend essence dog food . If they never change the ingredient's it will be my next dogs food as well . :)

Essence is a high quality kibble but was out of stock in the large size (again) I was forced to get multiple small bags of same food (my dog is a picky eater). Even with a discount, it was more expensive for less food.

My dog's not picky, so he gobbled this up like any other meal. However, after several months of feeding it, my dog's allergies are still being triggered. I'm sure this food is a fine quality, etc. My only guess is that the protein source is corn fed, which triggers my dog's corn allergy. It's too bad - the ingredients don't show anything on the allergy test. Anyway - I had to stop using it.

I use this as treats and as a back up for my raw fed dogs. Both my dogs love it, even my picky eater. High meat, low carb, and lower copper content (a lot of kibble is way too high in copper). I had seen in a couple places that Essence has smaller kibble size and it is true. I personally love it because I have small dogs and they make great treats. They are 10 mm/1 cm wide.

My dogs are on a special diet with meat. They have allot of allergies and trying to find a healthy choice of food was difficult. A good friend at Hollywood Feed recommended I try the Essence ranch and the dogs love it and they do not have any issues with allergies.
