  • sodium selenite
    Synthetic selenium source. Selenium is essential, but sodium selenite has a narrower safety margin than organic alternatives like selenium yeast. Better-formulated foods use the organic form.

Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    chicken

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

  2. 2
    chicken bone broth
  3. 3
    sweet potato

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

  4. 4
    spinach

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

  5. 5
    apples

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

  6. 6
    tapioca

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

  7. 7
    copper proteinate

    Copper bound to protein for better absorption. Common in better-formulated diets.

  8. 8
    iron proteinate

    Iron bound to protein for better absorption. The premium form versus inorganic iron sulfate.

  9. 9
    manganese proteinate

    Manganese bound to protein for better absorption. The chelated form most premium brands use.

  10. 10
    sodium selenite Flagged

    Inorganic selenium. Effective at AAFCO levels, no documented safety concern in dogs despite what some pet food blogs claim. Selenium yeast is a marginal upgrade, not a necessity. See why →

  11. 11
    zinc proteinate

    Zinc bound to protein for better absorption. The premium form of the mineral, versus zinc oxide which sits cheaper on the label.

  12. 12
    calcium carbonate

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

  13. 13
    potassium chloride

    Required mineral. Sometimes used as a salt substitute. Standard inclusion in complete diets.

  14. 14
    magnesium proteinate

    Magnesium bound to protein for better absorption. The premium chelated form.

  15. 15
    dicalcium phosphate

    Calcium and phosphorus combined. Required source of both minerals, especially in formulas without much bone content.

  16. 16
    salmon oil

    Pure omega-3s. The thing skin-and-coat formulas are usually built around.

  17. 17
    dried kelp

    Natural source of iodine and trace minerals. A common premium-brand inclusion.

  18. 18
    cinnamon
