Jialezhi is reportedly developed in Japan and formulated as a complete dog food for the Chinese market. It is divided by life stage into puppy, adult, and senior formulas. However, nutritionally it is not very high: the first two ingredients in every formula are corn and wheat, the animal protein is chicken meal, and corn gluten meal is added to boost crude protein. Its fiber source is beet pulp, a low-value sugar-industry byproduct with anti-nutritional factors, so it should not be overfed.
