   fish broth
3. 3

   water

   Just water. Counted on the label of any wet or fresh food. The number tells you the moisture content.

4. 4

   dried egg product

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

5. 5

   chicken

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

   oceanfish
7. 7

   tapioca starch

   Refined cassava starch, used as a binder. Easy to digest, low on nutrition.

    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 →

    legume
12. 12

    broccoli

    Real vegetable. Adds fiber and some antioxidants. Fine in the small amounts used in kibble.

13. 13

    salt

    Sodium chloride. Required at small doses for normal physiology. Not a quality concern in standard amounts.

    mineral
14. 14

    sunflower oil

    Common plant oil. Useful in moderation for omega-6, though too much skews the omega ratio against the dog's favor.

    fat
15. 15

    yeast extract

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

16. 16

    guar gum

    Thickener common in wet food. Emerging research on emulsifiers and the gut microbiome, but no smoking gun in dogs yet.

    fiber
17. 17

    potassium chloride

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

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