     Along with a high-quality dry dog food, I feed 1⁄2 cup (20%) of a high-quality dog roll made from 100% fresh ingredients containing NO by-products, or nasty preservatives. Butch Black Label dog roll uses only fresh ingredients and contains beef that the dry dog food does not have due to importing laws in New Zealand.
