Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    chicken meal

    Chicken with the water cooked out. Per pound, packs more protein than fresh chicken.

  2. 2
    turkey meal

    Turkey with the water cooked out. Per pound, packs more protein than fresh turkey.

  3. 3
    salmon meal

    Salmon cooked into a dry concentrate. Carries both protein and natural omega-3s in one ingredient.

  4. 4
    de-boned chicken
  5. 5
    de-boned turkey
  6. 6
    de-boned trout
  7. 7
    potato

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

  8. 8
    chicken fat

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

  9. 9
    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 →

  10. 10
    tapioca

    Starch from cassava root. Highly digestible energy source, but pure starch with minimal nutrition beyond that.

  11. 11
    lentils

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

  12. 12
    duck meal

    Duck cooked into a dry concentrate. Per pound, more protein than fresh duck.

  13. 13
    chickpeas

    Also called garbanzo beans. Affordable plant protein source, part of the legume stack the FDA examined in its heart-disease investigation. See why →

  14. 14
    natural flavor

    Legal term for animal-derived flavoring, usually hydrolyzed liver or broth. Adds taste, says nothing about quality.

  15. 15
    dried egg

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

  16. 16
    apples

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

  17. 17
    herring meal

    Concentrated herring with the water removed. Carries protein and omega-3s in one ingredient.

  18. 18
    flaxseed

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

  19. 19
    salmon oil

    Pure omega-3s. The thing skin-and-coat formulas are usually built around.

  20. 20
    alfalfa
  21. 21
    de-boned duck
  22. 22
    de-boned salmon
  23. 23

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

  25. 25
    pumpkin

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