What to watch for

• Garlic Moderate risk
  Garlic belongs to the onion family, which can damage dogs' red blood cells. Whether the small amounts used as flavoring matter is debated, but vets advise caution.
• Powdered cellulose Low risk
  Purified plant fiber used to add bulk, often in weight-control foods. Safe, but provides no nutrients.
• Potato protein Low risk
  Protein extracted from potatoes, used to raise the protein number in grain-free foods.
• 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.
• Sweet potato Low risk
  A starchy root vegetable that supplies carbohydrate, fiber and beta-carotene. Potatoes and sweet potatoes were common in the grain-free diets reported in the FDA DCM investigation.
• Salt Low risk
  Salt supplies sodium and chloride, which dogs need. Pet foods use small amounts; high salt is mainly a concern for dogs with heart or kidney disease.
• Dried kelp Low risk
  Seaweed that supplies iodine and trace minerals. Too much kelp can push iodine too high, so it should be a minor ingredient.
• Copper sulfate Low risk
  A source of copper, an essential trace mineral. Some breeds accumulate copper in the liver, and vets have raised concern that some dog foods supply more than dogs need.

What it does well

• High protein 33.3%
  30% or more on a dry-matter basis.
• Named meat first
  First ingredient is salmon.
