- 1protein animalsalmon meal
Salmon cooked into a dry concentrate. Carries both protein and natural omega-3s in one ingredient.
- 2grainoatmeal
Gentle on the stomach. Slow-release carbs and soluble fiber that supports stool quality.
- 3grainoats
Whole grain. Steady energy, soluble fiber, and well-tolerated by most dogs.
- 4vegetablepotato
Standard white potato. Steady carb source, common starch in grain-free recipes.
- 5de-boned salmon
- 6fatcanola oil
Plant oil. Some omega-3 from the parent plant, though dogs absorb it less efficiently than fish-derived omega-3. Fine in moderation.
- 7fruitapples
Real fruit, some fiber and antioxidants. The amount in kibble is too small to matter much.
- 8vegetablecarrots
Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, and a small amount of antioxidant value.
- 9fruitcranberries
Often added with a urinary-tract-support marketing angle. Real cranberry compounds help in concentrate form, but kibble doses are small.

Source of calcium and phosphorus. Standard mineral inclusion in complete dog foods.
- 11mineralcalcium carbonate
Source of calcium. Functional. Required in complete dog foods, especially those without bone-in meat meals.
