- 1tender chicken
- 2sweet potato & pea stew: chicken
- 3chicken broth
Real broth, adds flavor and moisture. Negligible nutrition on its own but tells you the recipe leans on real meat.
- 4pork broth
- 5protein animalchicken liver
Organ meat. Dense in protein, iron, vitamin A, and the B vitamins. Among the most nutrient-rich ingredients a dog can eat.
- 6vegetablesweet potato
Complex carb with fiber and beta-carotene. Gentle on the stomach.
- 7legumepeas
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 →
- 8animal plasma
- 9tapioca starch
Refined cassava starch, used as a binder. Easy to digest, low on nutrition.
- 10fiberpea fiber
Insoluble fiber from peas. Doesn't carry the protein-inflation concern of pea protein. Mostly there for stool quality.
- 11mineralpotassium chloride
Required mineral. Sometimes used as a salt substitute. Standard inclusion in complete diets.
- 12mineralcalcium carbonate
Source of calcium. Functional. Required in complete dog foods, especially those without bone-in meat meals.
- 13mineralsalt
Sodium chloride. Required at small doses for normal physiology. Not a quality concern in standard amounts.

Real fruit. Lycopene and trace antioxidants. Different from tomato pomace, which is the fiber byproduct.
- 15supplementcholine chloride
Essential nutrient for liver and brain function. Standard inclusion in complete dog foods.

Thickener common in wet food and gravies. Same emulsifier-microbiome conversation as guar gum, not a clear flag.

- 18tetrasodium pyrophosphate
- 19magnesium proteinate
Magnesium bound to protein for better absorption. The premium chelated form.
- 20sodium hexametaphosphate
- 21mineralmanganese sulfate
Inorganic manganese. Functional but less well-absorbed than the chelated proteinate form.
- 22mineralzinc sulfate
Inorganic zinc. Effective at AAFCO doses but less well-absorbed than chelated forms like zinc proteinate.
- 23vitaminvitamin e supplement
Required nutrient and a natural antioxidant. Often pulls double duty as a preservative.
