- 1vegetablesweet potato
Complex carb with fiber and beta-carotene. Gentle on the stomach.
- 2ground turkey
Real meat. Lean protein, good amino acid profile, often well-tolerated by dogs sensitive to chicken.
- 3diced chicken
- 4vegetablekale
Leafy green with antioxidants and fiber. Small dose in kibble, but it's not just for marketing.
- 5legumepeas
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 →
- 6egg
Whole eggs. The highest-quality protein on any ingredient label, by amino acid score.
- 7fatcanola oil
Plant oil. Some omega-3 from the parent plant, though dogs absorb it less efficiently than fish-derived omega-3. Fine in moderation.

Calcium and phosphorus combined. Required source of both minerals, especially in formulas without much bone content.
- 9vinegar
Mild acid used for flavor or pH adjustment. Safe at typical inclusion.

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

Common plant oil. Useful in moderation for omega-6, though too much skews the omega ratio against the dog's favor.

Natural antioxidant preservative. Helps keep fats from going rancid.

- 16mineralcalcium carbonate
Source of calcium. Functional. Required in complete dog foods, especially those without bone-in meat meals.

- 21iron amino acidchelate
- 22vitaminvitamin e supplement
Required nutrient and a natural antioxidant. Often pulls double duty as a preservative.
