Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    salmon

    Real fish meat. Natural source of omega-3s, which kibble usually has to add back from oil.

  5. 5
    flounder
  6. 6
    cod

  8. 8
    blue whiting meal
  9. 9
    oat groats

    Whole oats with only the inedible hull removed. The most intact form of oats available.

  10. 10

    catfish oil

  13. 13
    pollock meal

    chia seed

    Plant source of omega-3 and fiber. Like flaxseed, useful in trace amounts.

    inulin

  20. 20
    vitamin e supplement

    Required nutrient and a natural antioxidant. Often pulls double duty as a preservative.

  21. 21
    mixed tocopherols

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

    dried kelp

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

  23. 23
    cranberries

    Often added with a urinary-tract-support marketing angle. Real cranberry compounds help in concentrate form, but kibble doses are small.

  24. 24

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

  25. 25
