Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    chicken meal

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

  2. 2
    chicken fat

    Despite the name, a high-quality energy source. Concentrated calories plus essential fatty acids like linoleic acid.

  3. 3
    herring meal

    Concentrated herring with the water removed. Carries protein and omega-3s in one ingredient.

  4. 4
    ground whole grian corn
  5. 5
    ground whole grain wheat
  6. 6
    brown rice

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

  7. 7
    wheat shorts
  8. 8
    dried beat pulp
  9. 9
    dried brewer's yeast
  10. 10
    herring oil

    Concentrated omega-3 from herring. Same role as salmon oil, skin and coat support.

  11. 11
    salt

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

  12. 12
    chicken liver

    Organ meat. Dense in protein, iron, vitamin A, and the B vitamins. Among the most nutrient-rich ingredients a dog can eat.

  13. 13
    kelp meal
  14. 14
    potassium chloride

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

  15. 15
    lecithin

    Natural emulsifier, usually from soy or sunflower. Helps blend fats and water. Safe at typical inclusion.

  16. 16
    chicory root

    Prebiotic fiber that supports gut bacteria. A genuine functional ingredient, not marketing.

  17. 17
    mixed tocopherols

    Natural vitamin E used to keep fats from going rancid. The good kind of preservative.

  18. 18
    flaxseed

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

  19. 19
    glucosamine hydrochloride

    Joint-support compound. Most useful in larger doses for older dogs. The kibble dose is real but modest.

  20. 20
    chondroitin sulfate
  21. 21
    black malted barley
  22. 22
    calcium propionate
  23. 23
    limestone
  24. 24
    iron proteinate

    Iron bound to protein for better absorption. The premium form versus inorganic iron sulfate.

  25. 25
    zinc proteinate

    Zinc bound to protein for better absorption. The premium form of the mineral, versus zinc oxide which sits cheaper on the label.
