What to watch for

• Coconut oil Low risk
  A highly saturated plant fat. It adds calories, and its health claims for dogs are not well supported; large amounts can upset the gut.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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

• Named meat first
  First ingredient is chicken.
• Taurine added
  Cats need taurine in their diet; this label lists it.
