What to watch for
- Artificial colors Moderate risk
Unspecified synthetic dyes. They are there for the owner's eye, not the dog's nutrition. - Red 3 Moderate risk
An artificial color added to make food look appealing to people; dogs do not care what color their food is. In January 2025 the FDA revoked authorization for FD&C Red No. 3 in human food and ingested drugs because it caused cancer in male rats at high doses; EFSA also set a low acceptable intake. - Sodium nitrite Moderate risk
A curing salt that keeps color and stops bacteria in some wet foods and jerky. Nitrites can form nitrosamines, which are a cancer concern at higher exposures. - Menadione sodium bisulfite complex Moderate risk
A synthetic form of vitamin K (K3). EFSA concluded it is safe for dogs at the levels used in feed, but it is flagged as a precaution: it is a synthetic form not used in human supplements, and natural vitamin K1 is an alternative. - 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. - 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
- High protein 50.0%
40% or more on a dry-matter basis (cat). - Named meat first
First ingredient is salmon. - Taurine added
Cats need taurine in their diet; this label lists it.
