What to watch for
- Artificial colors Moderate risk
Unspecified synthetic dyes. They are there for the owner's eye, not the dog's nutrition. - 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. - Yellow 6 Moderate risk
An artificial color added to make food look appealing to people; dogs do not care what color their food is. It was part of the UK hyperactivity study in children. - 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. - Blue 2 Moderate risk
An artificial color added to make food look appealing to people; dogs do not care what color their food is. It serves no nutritional purpose. - Corn Low risk
Cooked corn is a digestible source of energy and some protein. It is often criticised but is not a common allergen; its main risk is mould toxins (aflatoxin) when quality control is poor. - 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. - Soybean meal Low risk
Ground soybeans after oil extraction, a cheap plant protein. Soy is a recognised food allergen in some dogs and can cause gas.
What it does well
- Complete & balanced
Meets an AAFCO nutrient profile. - Taurine added
Cats need taurine in their diet; this label lists it.
