Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    lamb

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

  2. 2
    lamb liver

    Organ meat. Same nutrient-density story as chicken or beef liver, dense in B vitamins, iron, vitamin A.

  3. 3
    ground lamb bone
  4. 4
    lamb kidney
  5. 5
    raspberries
  6. 6
    broccoli

    Real vegetable. Adds fiber and some antioxidants. Fine in the small amounts used in kibble.

  7. 7
    apples

    Real fruit, some fiber and antioxidants. The amount in kibble is too small to matter much.

  8. 8
    dried egg yolks
  9. 9
    vegetable

    Unnamed vegetable. No way to know what species. Named vegetables are far more transparent.

  10. 10
    green beans

    Real vegetable. Fiber and a small amount of vitamins. Often used in weight-management formulas because it bulks up a meal without adding calories.

  11. 11
    blueberries

    Antioxidants, real. But the amount in any kibble is too small to do much. Mostly marketing.

  12. 12
    carrots

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

  13. 13
    kale

    Leafy green with antioxidants and fiber. Small dose in kibble, but it's not just for marketing.

  14. 14
    spinach

    Leafy green. Some iron, vitamin K, and fiber. The dose in kibble is small but it's real food.

  15. 15
    parsley

    Real herb. Trace amount of vitamins K and C. The dose in kibble is small, mostly there for label appeal.

  16. 16
    apple cider vinegar
  17. 17
    ground flaxseed

    Cracked flaxseed for better digestibility. Same plant omega-3s as whole flaxseed, just easier for the dog to extract.

  18. 18
    salt

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

  19. 19
    dried kelp

    Natural source of iodine and trace minerals. A common premium-brand inclusion.

  20. 20
    inulin

    Prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Same compound found in chicory root.

  21. 21
    dried bacillus coagulans fermentation product

    Probiotic strain. More heat-stable than lactobacillus, which means more of it likely survives kibble processing.

  22. 22
    potassium chloride

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

  23. 23
    salmon oil

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

  24. 24
    zinc proteinate

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

  25. 25
    iron proteinate

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