Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    chicken

    Real meat. Primary protein source, with the amino acid profile dogs actually evolved to eat.

  2. 2
    chicken meal

    Chicken with the water cooked out. Per pound, packs more protein than fresh chicken.

  3. 3
    chicken broth

    Real broth, adds flavor and moisture. Negligible nutrition on its own but tells you the recipe leans on real meat.

  4. 4
    oat groats

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

  5. 5
    pearled barley

    Barley with the outer hull removed. Easy to digest, steady carb release.

  6. 6
    brown rice

    Whole grain that's easy to digest. Steady carb energy plus a little fiber.

  7. 7
    chicken fat

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

  8. 8
    fish meal

    Concentrated fish protein, usually whitefish, herring, or mackerel. Strong amino acid profile.

  9. 9
    dried tomato pomace

    The fiber-rich byproduct of tomato processing. Sometimes flagged unfairly. It's a real fiber source, not a filler shortcut.

  10. 10
    dried egg product

    Whole eggs with the water removed. Same nutritional value as fresh eggs, just shelf-stable.

  11. 11
    oats

    Whole grain. Steady energy, soluble fiber, and well-tolerated by most dogs.

  12. 12
    white rice

    Refined grain with the bran stripped off. Easy to digest, but not as nutrient-dense as brown rice.

  13. 13
    chicken liver

    Organ meat. Dense in protein, iron, vitamin A, and the B vitamins. Among the most nutrient-rich ingredients a dog can eat.

  14. 14
    barley

    Whole grain with a low glycemic profile and some soluble fiber. Easy on blood sugar.

  15. 15
    potato

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

  16. 16
    cheese
  17. 17
    flaxseed

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

  18. 18
    salmon oil

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

  19. 19
    brewers dried yeast

    Yeast left over from brewing. Rich in B vitamins and amino acids. A traditional and well-tolerated inclusion.

  20. 20
    duck

    Real meat. Often used as a novel protein for dogs with sensitivities to chicken or beef.

  21. 21
    lamb

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

  22. 22
    carrots

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

  23. 23
    sweet potato

    Complex carb with fiber and beta-carotene. Gentle on the stomach.

  24. 24
    celery

    Real vegetable. Mostly water and a little fiber. Decorative more than nutritional in the amounts used.

  25. 25
    alfalfa meal

    Dried alfalfa. Real fiber and trace minerals. Functional plant ingredient.
