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.
• 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.
• Potatoes Low risk
  Cooked potato is a digestible starch used in many grain-free kibbles. Potatoes were common in diets reported in the FDA DCM investigation.
• Pea fiber Low risk
  Fiber from pea hulls. A legume ingredient, so it counts toward the legume load in grain-free foods.
• 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.
• Calcium propionate Low risk
  A mould inhibitor used in baked treats. Regulators consider it safe at normal levels.
• 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.

What it does well

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