Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    chicken

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

  2. 2
    potato

    Standard white potato. Steady carb source, common starch in grain-free recipes.

  3. 3
    green beans

    Real vegetable. Fiber and a small amount of vitamins. Often used in weight-management formulas because it bulks up a meal without adding calories.

  4. 4
    zucchini
  5. 5
    blueberries

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

  6. 6
    kale

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

  7. 7
    peanut butter
  8. 8
    tricalcium phosphate

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

  9. 9
    iodine
  10. 10
    micronutrient blend
  11. 11
    salt

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

  12. 12
    ground flaxseed

    Cracked flaxseed for better digestibility. Same plant omega-3s as whole flaxseed, just easier for the dog to extract.

  13. 13
    fish oil

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

  14. 14
    gelatin
  15. 15
    supplement blend
