What to watch for
- Brewers rice Low risk
Small broken pieces of rice left over from milling. Digestible energy but fewer nutrients than whole rice. - Wheat flour Low risk
Ground wheat, common in treats and biscuits as a binder. Wheat is a known allergen for some dogs. - Corn gluten meal Low risk
The protein left after starch is removed from corn. It raises the protein number on the label cheaply, but plant protein is less complete than meat protein. - 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.
What it does well
- Named meat first
First ingredient is chicken meal.
Ingredients
Chicken Meal, Brewer's Rice, Wheat Flour, Corn Gluten Meal, Chicken Fat (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Whole Brown Rice, Dried Plain Beet Pulp, Natural Flavors
What the label cannot tell you
