Read why each ingredient is good or bad for dogs.
- 1duck: chicken
- 2chicken broth
Real broth, adds flavor and moisture. Negligible nutrition on its own but tells you the recipe leans on real meat.
- 3protein animalduck
Real meat. Often used as a novel protein for dogs with sensitivities to chicken or beef.
- 4fatsunflower oil
Common plant oil. Useful in moderation for omega-6, though too much skews the omega ratio against the dog's favor.
- 5calcium lactate
Calcium source from lactic acid fermentation. Functional, well-tolerated.
- 6mineraldicalcium phosphate
Calcium and phosphorus combined. Required source of both minerals, especially in formulas without much bone content.
- 7fiberxanthan gum
Thickener common in wet food and gravies. Same emulsifier-microbiome conversation as guar gum, not a clear flag.
- 8mineralpotassium chloride
Required mineral. Sometimes used as a salt substitute. Standard inclusion in complete diets.
- 9mineralsalt
Sodium chloride. Required at small doses for normal physiology. Not a quality concern in standard amounts.

Essential nutrient for liver and brain function. Standard inclusion in complete dog foods.

Source of magnesium, a required mineral. Standard inclusion in complete diets.

Concentrated omega-3s. The reason 'EPA' and 'DHA' get to show up on the bag.
- 13supplementturmeric
Spice with anti-inflammatory compounds. Real research in humans, but the dose in kibble is small. Mostly there for label appeal.
- 14mineralferrous sulfate
Inorganic iron. Standard mineral source. Iron proteinate is the gentler, better-absorbed premium form.

B vitamin (B1). Essential for nervous system function. Cooked-in vitamin loss is why thiamine is always added back.
- 16vitaminvitamin e supplement
Required nutrient and a natural antioxidant. Often pulls double duty as a preservative.

B vitamin (B3). Required in complete dog foods, added as a supplement to standardize the dose.
