Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    fish broth
  2. 2
    salmon

    Real fish meat. Natural source of omega-3s, which kibble usually has to add back from oil.

  3. 3
    vegetable

    Unnamed vegetable. No way to know what species. Named vegetables are far more transparent.

  4. 4
    tapioca

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

  5. 5
    carrots

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

  6. 6
    whitefish

    Real fish meat. Lean protein with a clean amino acid profile.

  7. 7
    sunflower oil

    Common plant oil. Useful in moderation for omega-6, though too much skews the omega ratio against the dog's favor.

  8. 8
    salmon oil

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

  9. 9
    flaxseed oil
  10. 10
    biotin supplement
  11. 11
    vitamin e supplement

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

  12. 12
    zinc proteinate

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