Ingredients

Read why each ingredient is good or bad for dogs.

53 total
Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    chicken

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

  2. 2
    turkey

    Real meat. Lean protein, good amino acid profile, often well-tolerated by dogs sensitive to chicken.

  3. 3
    chicken meal

    Chicken with the water cooked out. Per pound, packs more protein than fresh chicken.

  4. 4
    sweet potato

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

  5. 5
    tapioca

    Starch from cassava root. Highly digestible energy source, but pure starch with minimal nutrition beyond that.

  6. 6
    natural flavor

    Legal term for animal-derived flavoring, usually hydrolyzed liver or broth. Adds taste, says nothing about quality.

  7. 7
    chicken liver

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

  8. 8
    chicken fat

    Despite the name, a high-quality energy source. Concentrated calories plus essential fatty acids like linoleic acid.

  9. 9
    tomato pomace

    The fiber-rich byproduct of tomato processing. Sometimes flagged unfairly. It's a real fiber source, not a filler shortcut.

  10. 10
    turkey meal

    Turkey with the water cooked out. Per pound, packs more protein than fresh turkey.

  11. 11
    quail
  12. 12
    guineafowl
  13. 13
    goose
  14. 14
    duck

    Real meat. Often used as a novel protein for dogs with sensitivities to chicken or beef.

  15. 15
    chicken gizzards
  16. 16
    pumpkin

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

  17. 17
    chia seed

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

  18. 18
    ground pumpkin seeds
  19. 19
    cranberries

    Often added with a urinary-tract-support marketing angle. Real cranberry compounds help in concentrate form, but kibble doses are small.

  20. 20
    spinach

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

  21. 21
    broccoli

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

  22. 22
    beets

    Whole beets, not to be confused with beet pulp. Real vegetable, fiber and antioxidants.

  23. 23
    carrots

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

  24. 24
    squash

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

  25. 25
    blueberries

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