Real meat. Often used for dogs with chicken or beef sensitivities. Slightly higher fat content than chicken.

Refined cassava starch, used as a binder. Easy to digest, low on nutrition.
- 9protein plantpea protein
Concentrated plant protein. Inflates the protein number on the label without matching the amino acid quality of meat.
- 10canola meal

Cheap protein bulk. Fine in small amounts, but when peas stack with lentils and chickpeas in the top ingredients, it's the pattern the FDA flagged in its heart-disease investigation. See why →
