I have to disagree with you on this one. Chicken meal is ALOT more expensive than just chicken -- that's why you will often see the lower quality foods do not have chicken meals, but just chicken. The reason for this is because chicken or any other meat for that matter is 70-80% water, fat, and oil. So when you see Chicken as the #1 food on a list of ingredients, it is actually water that is number one. You can count of the chicken being more in the middle to bottom of the list. A meal is just a meat that has been rendered so that the water, fat, and oils, have been removed. Therefore it is pure meat.

Eukanuba is not a high quality food -- they recently came out with a new line of foods that is much better, however. Eukanuba and Iams are the same company.
