What to watch for

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Iron oxide Low risk
  A mineral pigment used to give a brown or red tint. Low concern at the levels used, but purely cosmetic.
• Potassium sorbate Low risk
  A mould inhibitor used in soft and semi-moist foods and treats. Regulators consider it safe at normal levels.

What it does well

• Named meat first
  First ingredient is chicken meal.
• Taurine added
  Cats need taurine in their diet; this label lists it.
