Read why each ingredient is good or bad for dogs.
- 1protein animalbeef
Real meat. Dense in protein and iron. Some dogs are sensitive to it, but for most it's an excellent base.
- 2vegetablepotato
Standard white potato. Steady carb source, common starch in grain-free recipes.
- 3vegetablesweet potato
Complex carb with fiber and beta-carotene. Gentle on the stomach.

- 6safflower oil
- 7protein animalbeef liver
Organ meat. Among the most nutrient-dense ingredients available, rich in B vitamins, iron, and vitamin A.

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 →
- 9fruitapples
Real fruit, some fiber and antioxidants. The amount in kibble is too small to matter much.
