This is definitely not better than rice or oats - how can it be? If you look at the protein levels of grain free dry food they are toxically high and so is the fat level. Protein should be around 20% and fat 10% max.

There is a world of difference between fresh meat and meat meal.

However most dry foods are a combo of meat meal and wheat - neither is good. Best to feed a small amount of dry and look around for a good quality wet food.
Popsy, where on earth do you get this information from? It's basically untrue and if you contact the better producers they will normally give you the breakdown of how the food is made.
Orijen even have the suppliers of the ingredients on their website I'm sure some other smaller producers will provide the same if asked.
