Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    beef meal

    Beef cooked down to a dry concentrate. More protein per pound than fresh beef.

  2. 2
    lamb meal

    Lamb cooked down to a dry concentrate. Per pound, more protein than fresh lamb.

  3. 3
    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 →

  4. 4
    tapioca

    Starch from cassava root. Highly digestible energy source, but pure starch with minimal nutrition beyond that.

  5. 5
    potato

    Standard white potato. Steady carb source, common starch in grain-free recipes.

  6. 6
    chicken fat

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

  7. 7
    flaxseed

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

  8. 8
    natural flavor

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

  9. 9
    potassium chloride

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

  10. 10
    blueberries

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

  11. 11
    cranberries

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

  12. 12
    papaya
  13. 13
    mango
  14. 14
    apples

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

  15. 15
    basil
  16. 16
    oregano
  17. 17
    rosemary
  18. 18
    thyme
  19. 19
    sunflower seeds
  20. 20
    peppermint
  21. 21
    sodium chloride

    Same as salt. Required mineral, necessary at small doses.

  22. 22
    magnesium sulfate

    Source of magnesium, a required mineral. Standard inclusion in complete diets.

  23. 23
    choline chloride

    Essential nutrient for liver and brain function. Standard inclusion in complete dog foods.

  24. 24
    vitamin a supplement

    Vitamin A in stable, standardized form. Required for vision, immune function, and growth.

  25. 25
    vitamin d3 supplement

    The active form of vitamin D dogs need. Required for calcium absorption and bone health.
