Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    chicken

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

  2. 2
    carrots

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

  3. 3
    peas

    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 →

  4. 4
    sweet potato

    Complex carb with fiber and beta-carotene. Gentle on the stomach.

  5. 5
    guar gum

    Thickener common in wet food. Emerging research on emulsifiers and the gut microbiome, but no smoking gun in dogs yet.

  6. 6
    egg

    Whole eggs. The highest-quality protein on any ingredient label, by amino acid score.

  7. 7
    coconut oil

    Saturated fat with medium-chain triglycerides. Mostly marketing in the doses kibble uses, but harmless.

  8. 8
    vegetable oil

    Unnamed plant oil. Could be soy, canola, corn, or a blend. Named oils like sunflower or canola are more transparent.

  9. 9
    vitamin e supplement

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

  10. 10
    niacinamide
  11. 11
    l-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate

    A stable form of vitamin C used in pet food. Provides antioxidant support and survives processing better than plain ascorbic acid.

  12. 12
    thiamine mononitrate

    B vitamin (B1). Essential for nervous system function. Cooked-in vitamin loss is why thiamine is always added back.

  13. 13
    calcium pantothenate

    Same as d-calcium pantothenate. Vitamin B5 in standardized form.

  14. 14
    vitamin a acetate
  15. 15
    folic acid

    B vitamin (B9), essential for cell function. Standard in complete dog foods.

  16. 16
    riboflavin supplement

    B vitamin (B2). Required in complete dog foods. The standardized form ensures consistent dosing.

  17. 17
    biotin

    B vitamin that supports skin and coat health. Required for AAFCO-complete formulas.

  18. 18
    pyridoxine hydrochloride

    B vitamin (B6). Essential for protein metabolism. Standard inclusion in complete formulas.

  19. 19
    vitamin b12 supplement

    Essential for red blood cell formation and neurological function. Plant ingredients lack B12, so it has to be added.

  20. 20
    vitamin d3 supplement

    The active form of vitamin D dogs need. Required for calcium absorption and bone health.
