Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    pork

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

  2. 2
    herring

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

  3. 3
    sweet potato

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

  4. 4
    eggs

    Whole eggs. The highest-quality protein on any ingredient label by amino acid score.

  5. 5
    herring oil

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

  6. 6
    apples

    Real fruit, some fiber and antioxidants. The amount in kibble is too small to matter much.

  7. 7
    fructooligosaccharide

    Prebiotic fiber, often abbreviated FOS. Feeds beneficial gut bacteria.

  8. 8
    chondroitin sulfate
  9. 9
    glucosamine hydrochloride

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

  10. 10
    vitamin a supplement

    Vitamin A in stable, standardized form. Required for vision, immune function, and growth.

  11. 11
    vitamin d3 supplement

    The active form of vitamin D dogs need. Required for calcium absorption and bone health.

  12. 12
    vitamin e supplement

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

  13. 13

    ferrous glycine complex
  17. 17
    copper methionine hydroxy analogue chelate

    selenium yeast

    Organic selenium grown in yeast. The form premium brands use, gentler and more bioavailable than sodium selenite.

  19. 19
    dl-methionine

    Essential amino acid. Often added when plant proteins dominate, since methionine is naturally lower in pulses than meat.

  20. 20
    taurine

    Amino acid critical for heart health. Especially important in grain-free or pulse-heavy formulas where natural taurine precursors run thin.

  21. 21
    l-carnitine

    Amino acid derivative that helps the body convert fat into energy. Common in weight-management formulas.
