What to watch for

• BHA High risk
  A synthetic preservative that keeps fats from going rancid. The U.S. National Toxicology Program lists BHA as 'reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen' based on animal studies. Natural alternatives (mixed tocopherols) exist.
• Meat and bone meal Moderate risk
  Rendered mammal tissue including bone, from unnamed species. High in minerals (ash) and usually less digestible than a named meat meal.
• BHT Moderate risk
  A synthetic preservative related to BHA. Regulators allow it at low levels, but evidence on long-term effects is mixed and natural alternatives exist.
• Red 40 Moderate risk
  An artificial color added to make food look appealing to people; dogs do not care what color their food is. It was one of the dyes in a well-known UK study linking color mixes to hyperactivity in some children.
• Yellow 5 Moderate risk
  An artificial color added to make food look appealing to people; dogs do not care what color their food is. It can cause sensitivity reactions in some people and was part of the UK hyperactivity study.
• Sugar Moderate risk
  Table sugar. Dogs have no dietary need for added sugar; it adds calories and is mainly there to make food more appealing.
• Artificial colors Moderate risk
  Unspecified synthetic dyes. They are there for the owner's eye, not the dog's nutrition.
• Wheat flour Low risk
  Ground wheat, common in treats and biscuits as a binder. Wheat is a known allergen for some dogs.
