Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    beef

    Real meat. Dense in protein and iron. Some dogs are sensitive to it, but for most it's an excellent base.

  2. 2
    beef liver

    Organ meat. Among the most nutrient-dense ingredients available, rich in B vitamins, iron, and vitamin A.

  3. 3
    beef lung

    Organ meat. Lean, protein-dense, real-food inclusion. More common in raw and freeze-dried diets.

  4. 4
    beef heart
  5. 5
    beef kidney

    Organ meat. Dense in B vitamins, iron, and trace minerals. Among the most nutritious ingredients on any label.

  6. 6
    beef tripe

    Stomach lining. Strong-smelling but nutrient-dense, with natural digestive enzymes.

  7. 7
    tricalcium phosphate

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

  8. 8
    apple

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

  9. 9
    broccoli

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

  10. 10
    pumpkin

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

  11. 11

    Real vegetable. Fiber, vitamin A, gentle on the stomach. Similar nutrition role to sweet potato.

    parsley

    Real herb. Trace amount of vitamins K and C. The dose in kibble is small, mostly there for label appeal.

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

    mixed tocopherols

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

  15. 15
