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

  2. 2
    dehydrated lamb

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

  3. 3
    pea starch

    Refined starch from peas, mostly carbs after the protein is removed. Counts toward the legume stack the FDA examined.

  4. 4
    chicken fat

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

  5. 5
    dehydrated herring

    Whole fish, naturally high in omega-3s and very digestible protein. Common in premium formulas.

  6. 6
    pumpkin

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

  7. 7
    dehydrated chicken

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

  8. 8
    sweet potato

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

  9. 9
    dehydrated pork

    Real meat. Dense protein and fat, though less common in dog food than chicken or beef.

    natural flavors

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

  14. 14

    Soluble fiber from sugar-beet processing. Sometimes treated as a filler, but it's actually one of the better fiber sources in kibble.

  15. 15
    flaxseed

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

  16. 16
    hydrolyzed fish

    herring oil

    Concentrated omega-3 from herring. Same role as salmon oil, skin and coat support.

  18. 18

    suncured alfalfa meal

    Sun-dried alfalfa, preserving more of the natural vitamins than heat-dried versions.

    inulin

    Prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Same compound found in chicory root.
