Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    chicken meal

    Chicken with the water cooked out. Per pound, packs more protein than fresh chicken.

  2. 2
    pearled barley

    Barley with the outer hull removed. Easy to digest, steady carb release.

  3. 3
    oatmeal

    Gentle on the stomach. Slow-release carbs and soluble fiber that supports stool quality.

  4. 4
    dried eggs

    Whole eggs. The highest-quality protein on any ingredient label by amino acid score.

  5. 5
    chicken

    Real meat. Primary protein source, with the amino acid profile dogs actually evolved to eat.

  6. 6
    ground oats

    Whole grain. Steady energy, soluble fiber, and well-tolerated by most dogs.

  7. 7
    chicken fat&nbsp
  8. 8
    potato

    Standard white potato. Steady carb source, common starch in grain-free recipes.

  9. 9
    brown rice

    Whole grain that's easy to digest. Steady carb energy plus a little fiber.

  10. 10
    tomato pomace

    The fiber-rich byproduct of tomato processing. Sometimes flagged unfairly. It's a real fiber source, not a filler shortcut.

  11. 11
    salmon oil

    Pure omega-3s. The thing skin-and-coat formulas are usually built around.

  12. 12
    flaxseed

    Plant source of omega-3. Helpful for skin and coat, though dogs absorb omega-3 from fish more efficiently.

  13. 13
    alfalfa meal

    Dried alfalfa. Real fiber and trace minerals. Functional plant ingredient.

  14. 14
    carrots

    Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, and a small amount of antioxidant value.

  15. 15
    lettuce
  16. 16
    celery

    Real vegetable. Mostly water and a little fiber. Decorative more than nutritional in the amounts used.

  17. 17
    chicken cartilage
  18. 18
    monocalcium phosphate

    Source of calcium and phosphorus. Standard mineral inclusion in complete dog foods.

  19. 19
    salt

    Sodium chloride. Required at small doses for normal physiology. Not a quality concern in standard amounts.

  20. 20
    potassium chloride

    Required mineral. Sometimes used as a salt substitute. Standard inclusion in complete diets.

  21. 21
    dl-methionine

    Essential amino acid. Often added when plant proteins dominate, since methionine is naturally lower in pulses than meat.

  22. 22
    chicory root extract
  23. 23
    yucca schidigera extract

    Plant extract added to reduce stool odor. Functional, not nutritional. Fine in trace amounts.

  24. 24
    vitamin a acetate
  25. 25
    vitamin d3 supplement

    The active form of vitamin D dogs need. Required for calcium absorption and bone health.
