What to watch for

• Artificial colors Moderate risk
  Unspecified synthetic dyes. They are there for the owner's eye, not the dog's nutrition.
• Carrageenan Moderate risk
  A seaweed-based thickener in many wet foods. EFSA kept it allowed but flagged data gaps, and animal studies have linked degraded carrageenan to gut inflammation.
• Wheat gluten Low risk
  Wheat protein used to bind wet foods and raise the protein number. Less complete than animal protein.
• Meat by-products Low risk
  Clean parts of slaughtered mammals other than muscle meat, such as organs. AAFCO says by-products can be nutritious, but the label does not say which animal they came from, so you cannot steer around an allergy.
• 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.
• Soy flour Low risk
  Ground soybeans used as a protein and binder. Soy is a recognised allergen for some dogs.
• 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

• Complete & balanced
  Meets an AAFCO nutrient profile.
• High protein 50.0%
  40% or more on a dry-matter basis (cat).
• Taurine added
  Cats need taurine in their diet; this label lists it.
