What to watch for

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Wheat gluten Low risk
  Wheat protein used to bind wet foods and raise the protein number. Less complete than animal protein.
• 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.
• Sodium tripolyphosphate Low risk
  A phosphate used for texture and, in dental chews, to reduce tartar. It adds phosphorus, which matters for dogs with kidney disease.
• 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

• High protein 43.8%
  30% or more on a dry-matter basis.
