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
    quinoa

    Pseudo-grain with a complete amino acid profile. Rare in dog food because it's expensive.

  3. 3
    carrots

    Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, and a small amount of antioxidant value.

  4. 4
    kale

    Leafy green with antioxidants and fiber. Small dose in kibble, but it's not just for marketing.

  5. 5
    apples

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

  6. 6
    pork stock
  7. 7
    marine microalgae oil

    Plant-source omega-3 from algae. Useful especially in vegetarian or limited-fish formulas.

  8. 8
    flaxseed

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

  9. 9
    calcium carbonate

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

  10. 10
    dicalcium phosphate

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

  11. 11
    glucosamine sulfate
  12. 12
    salt

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

  13. 13
    taurine

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

  14. 14
    zinc amino acid chelate

    Zinc bound to amino acids for better absorption. Same idea as zinc proteinate, the premium form of the mineral.

  15. 15
    choline chloride

    Essential nutrient for liver and brain function. Standard inclusion in complete dog foods.

  16. 16
    vitamin e supplement

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

  17. 17
    selenium yeast

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

  18. 18
    ferrous fumarate
  19. 19
    copper amino acid chelate

    Copper bound to amino acids for better absorption. Premium form versus copper sulfate.

  20. 20
    d-calcium pantothenate

    B vitamin (B5). Standard inclusion in complete dog foods.

  21. 21
    vitamin b12 supplement

    Essential for red blood cell formation and neurological function. Plant ingredients lack B12, so it has to be added.

  22. 22
    cholecalciferol
  23. 23
    riboflavin supplement

    B vitamin (B2). Required in complete dog foods. The standardized form ensures consistent dosing.

  24. 24
    potassium iodide

    Source of iodine, an essential trace mineral for thyroid function. Required for AAFCO-complete formulas.
