Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    lamb

    Real meat. Often used for dogs with chicken or beef sensitivities. Slightly higher fat content than chicken.

  2. 2
    rice

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

  3. 3
    cauliflower
  4. 4
    carrots

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

  5. 5
    brown rice

    Whole grain that's easy to digest. Steady carb energy plus a little fiber.

  6. 6
    lamb liver

    Organ meat. Same nutrient-density story as chicken or beef liver, dense in B vitamins, iron, vitamin A.

  7. 7
    safflower oil
  8. 8
    spinach

    Leafy green. Some iron, vitamin K, and fiber. The dose in kibble is small but it's real food.

  9. 9
    rice starch
  10. 10
    blueberries

    Antioxidants, real. But the amount in any kibble is too small to do much. Mostly marketing.

  11. 11
    cod liver oil
  12. 12
    calcium carbonate

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

  13. 13
    potassium chloride

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

  14. 14
    salt

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

  15. 15
    dl-methionine

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

  16. 16
    choline bitartrate
  17. 17
    l-tryptophan

    Essential amino acid. Sometimes added in calming or weight-management formulas.

  18. 18
    taurine

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

  19. 19
    magnesium amino acid chelate
  20. 20
    vitamin e supplement

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

  21. 21
    ferrous fumarate
  22. 22
    zinc amino acid chelate

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

  23. 23
    ascorbic acid

    Vitamin C. Pulls double duty as a natural antioxidant preservative.

  24. 24
    d-calcium pantothenate

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

  25. 25
    selenium yeast

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