Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    beef meal

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

  2. 2
    sweet potato

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

  3. 3
    lentils

    Same concern as peas. Affordable plant protein, but when they pile up in the top 5 ingredients, it's a flag. See why →

  4. 4
    rabbit meal
  5. 5
    pork meal

    Pork cooked into a dry concentrate. Per pound, more protein than fresh pork.

  6. 6
    bacon fat
  7. 7
    beef collagen
  8. 8
    potato

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

  9. 9
    pumpkin

    Soluble fiber that supports stool quality. Mild and well-tolerated.

  10. 10
    carrots

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

  11. 11
    spinach

    Leafy green. Some iron, vitamin K, and fiber. The dose in kibble is small but it's real food.

  12. 12
    natural flavors

    Same as natural flavor. Usually hydrolyzed liver or broth, adds palatability.

  13. 13
    kelp meal
  14. 14
    potassium chloride

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

  15. 15
    salt

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

  16. 16
    choline chloride

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

  17. 17
    blueberries

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

  18. 18
    cranberries

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

  19. 19
    chicory
  20. 20
    saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast culture
  21. 21
    alltech lactosacc probiotics: dried enterococcus faecium fermentation product
  22. 22
    dried lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product

  23. 23
    dried aspergillus niger fermentation extract
  24. 24
    dried trichoderma longibrachiatum fermentation extract
