Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    lamb

    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
    pea fiber

    Insoluble fiber from peas. Doesn't carry the protein-inflation concern of pea protein. Mostly there for stool quality.

  5. 5
    dried beet pulp

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

  6. 6
    quinoa seed
  7. 7
    dehydrated pork

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

  8. 8
    natural flavors

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

  9. 9
    hydrolyzed fish
  10. 10
    chicken fat

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

  11. 11
    hydrolyzed pork liver
  12. 12
    flaxseed

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

  13. 13
    dehydrated herring

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

  14. 14
    pork fat

    Real animal fat from a named species. Clean energy source.

  15. 15
    herring oil

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

  16. 16
    dried broccoli

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

  17. 17
    dried asparagus
  18. 18
    dicalcium phosphate

    Calcium and phosphorus combined. Required source of both minerals, especially in formulas without much bone content.

  19. 19
    suncured alfalfa meal

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

  20. 20
    psyllium seed husk

    Soluble fiber. Supports stool quality. The same fiber humans use for digestive regularity.

  21. 21
    potassium chloride

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

  22. 22
    calcium carbonate

    Source of calcium. Functional. Required in complete dog foods, especially those without bone-in meat meals.

  23. 23
    salt

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

  24. 24
    glucosamine hydrochloride

    Joint-support compound. Most useful in larger doses for older dogs. The kibble dose is real but modest.

  25. 25
    chondroitin sulfate

Showing first 25 of 51. Position 1-5 has the largest weight in the recipe.
