Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    meat protein isolate
  2. 2
    chicken fat

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

  3. 3
    flaxseeds

    Plural form, same as flaxseed. Plant source of omega-3, helpful for skin and coat.

  4. 4
    cheddar cheese
  5. 5
    eggs

    Whole eggs. The highest-quality protein on any ingredient label by amino acid score.

  6. 6
    carrots

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

  7. 7
    yogurt
  8. 8
    blueberries

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

  9. 9
    gelatin
  10. 10
    peas

    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 →

  11. 11
    whey
  12. 12
    apples

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

  13. 13
    natural flavor

    Legal term for animal-derived flavoring, usually hydrolyzed liver or broth. Adds taste, says nothing about quality.

  14. 14
    montmorillonite clay

    Natural clay used as a binder and anti-caking agent. Functional, not nutritional.

  15. 15
    dried kelp

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

  16. 16
    fish oil

    Concentrated omega-3s. The reason 'EPA' and 'DHA' get to show up on the bag.

  17. 17
    yeast culture

    Fermented yeast. Source of B vitamins and beta-glucans that some research suggests support immune function.

  18. 18
    taurine

    Amino acid critical for heart health. Especially important in grain-free or pulse-heavy formulas where natural taurine precursors run thin.

  19. 19
    rock salt
  20. 20
    sea salt

    Same as salt. Required at small doses for normal physiology.

  21. 21
    barley grass powder
  22. 22
    apple pectin
  23. 23
    yeast extract

    Yeast broken down to a paste. Strong palatant plus a real source of B vitamins.

  24. 24
    citric acid

    Natural antioxidant preservative. Helps keep fats from going rancid.

  25. 25
    mixed tocopherols

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