Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    chicken

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

  2. 2
    chicken heart

    Organ meat. Dense in taurine, B vitamins, and CoQ10. One of the best ingredients dogs can eat.

  3. 3
    chicken liver

    Organ meat. Dense in protein, iron, vitamin A, and the B vitamins. Among the most nutrient-rich ingredients a dog can eat.

  4. 4
    flaxseed

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

  5. 5
    carrot

    Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, antioxidants. Same as carrots, sometimes singular on labels.

  6. 6
    broccoli

    Real vegetable. Adds fiber and some antioxidants. Fine in the small amounts used in kibble.

  7. 7
    blueberry
  8. 8
    apple cider vinegar
  9. 9
    tricalcium phosphate

    Calcium and phosphorus source. Same role as dicalcium phosphate, slightly different ratio.

  10. 10
    sea salt

    Same as salt. Required at small doses for normal physiology.

  11. 11
    fish oil

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

  12. 12
    honey
  13. 13
    chia seed

    Plant source of omega-3 and fiber. Like flaxseed, useful in trace amounts.

  14. 14
    mixed tocopherols

    Natural vitamin E used to keep fats from going rancid. The good kind of preservative.

  15. 15
    apple

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

  16. 16
    tomato
  17. 17
    shiitake mushroom
  18. 18
    orange
  19. 19
    cranberry

    Same as cranberries. Real ingredient, dose in kibble is small.

  20. 20
    pumpkin

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

  21. 21
    spinach

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

  22. 22
    beet
  23. 23
    tart cherry
  24. 24
    strawberry
  25. 25
    chlorella
