What to watch for
- Peas Moderate risk
Peas add plant protein, starch and fiber. The FDA has been investigating reports of heart disease (DCM) in dogs eating diets high in peas, lentils and other legumes, often grain-free. No cause has been proven, but it is worth knowing when legumes sit near the top of the list. - Natural flavor Low risk
Flavoring from natural sources. Normally safe, but the term can hide which animal or plant it came from, which matters for allergies. - Low protein 23.3%
Below 30% on a dry-matter basis (cat).
What it does well
- Named meat first
First ingredient is salmon. - Taurine added
Cats need taurine in their diet; this label lists it.
