Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    water

    Just water. Counted on the label of any wet or fresh food. The number tells you the moisture content.

  2. 2
    beef by-products
  3. 3
    chicken

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

  4. 4
    rice

    Generic rice. Could be white or brown, the label doesn't say. Brown rice would be specified if it were.

  5. 5
    whole grain corn

    Whole corn with the kernel intact. Decent fiber and B vitamins, though it can crowd out meat in cheaper recipes.

  6. 6
    pork liver

    Organ meat. Dense in B vitamins, iron, and vitamin A. Among the most nutritious ingredients on any label.

  7. 7
    soybean oil

    Plant oil. High in omega-6, which is required but commonly oversupplied. Fine in moderation.

  8. 8
    powdered cellulose

    Plant fiber, often from wood pulp. Cheap bulk filler. Not harmful, but a tell that the recipe is reaching for inexpensive bulk.

  9. 9
    soybean mill run
  10. 10
    fish oil

    Concentrated omega-3s. The reason 'EPA' and 'DHA' get to show up on the bag.

  11. 11
    calcium sulfate

    Source of calcium. Functional, required for AAFCO-complete formulas.

  12. 12
    potassium citrate

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

  16. 16

  18. 18
    niacin supplement

    Same as d-calcium pantothenate. Vitamin B5 in standardized form.

  22. 22
    biotin
