10 ingredients (broken into components where relevant) · tap any for its research notes

What do these mean? ▾

Beneficial. Linked to benefits in published research. Tiers show evidence strength.

Restricted or banned. Restricted or banned by a regulator in at least one country.

Under research review. Being studied or re-evaluated by researchers or regulators.

Contextual. Not flagged, but there is a note worth reading.

Standard. Everyday components like vitamins and minerals.

Not yet classified. Not in our dictionary yet. Always still listed.

Counts include what's inside compound entries like vitamin premixes, so they can add up to more than the label's ingredient count.

1KangarooNamed single-species whole meat▾

● Beneficial (well-established)Whole meat from a named animal species. Both the species and the form are identified, which supports traceability and allergy checking. Published nutrition references associate named whole meats with high protein quality.Sources: AAFCO 2024 · NRC 2006 · Amino acid bioavailability studies

2LinseedFlaxseed / flaxseed oil▾

● Beneficial (supported)A plant-based source of omega-3 (ALA), fibre, and lignans. Note: dogs have limited ability to convert plant ALA to the more bioactive EPA/DHA found in marine sources.Sources: Bauer 2011

3Vegetable GlycerineGlycerine▾

● Standard ingredientA humectant used to retain moisture in semi-moist foods, treats, and dental products. Also serves as a sweetener. Permitted for food use by the US FDA (GRAS).Sources: FDA GRAS status · AAFCO ingredient definitions

4PotatoPotato / sweet potato▾

● Contextual noteDigestible carbohydrate sources. Not harmful in themselves. Often used in grain-free formulations.Sources: NRC 2006

5Salt▾

● Contextual noteAn essential mineral present in all pet food. Flag only when appearing high on the ingredient list.Sources: NRC 2006

6Berries (Blueberries & Cranberries)2 components▾

The label breaks this entry into components, each classified on its own:

7Food Acids▾

● Standard ingredientA generic term for acidulants used as preservatives or pH regulators. Common food acids include citric acid, phosphoric acid, and lactic acid.Sources: AAFCO ingredient definitions

8ChiaChia seed▾

● Beneficial (emerging)A plant-based source of omega-3 (ALA), soluble fibre, and protein. Rich in calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Some studies have explored benefits for skin/coat health and digestive support in dogs. Like flaxseed, ALA conversion to EPA/DHA is limited in dogs and negligible in cats.Sources: Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition 2022 · Nutritional composition data

9Natural AntioxidantAntioxidants (generic/undisclosed)▾

● Contextual noteA generic antioxidant declaration. On EU and Australian labels, antioxidants is the additive class name and does not disclose which compound is used: it may be a natural form (tocopherols, rosemary extract) or a synthetic one (BHA, BHT, TBHQ, ethoxyquin). The specific antioxidant cannot be confirmed from the label.Sources: EU Regulation 767/2009 · AS 5812 (Australian Standard for pet food)

10TurmericTurmeric / curcumin▾

● Beneficial (emerging)Curcumin has well-documented anti-inflammatory properties in laboratory studies, but its bioavailability in standard oral forms is poor without specific enhancement (piperine, lipid carrier, or phytosomal formulation). In several randomised controlled trials in dogs and cats with osteoarthritis, diets and supplements containing bioavailability-enhanced curcumin (for example phosphatidylcholine/phytosome complexes), usually combined with other ingredients such as omega-3 fatty acids, hydrolysed collagen or green-lipped mussel, were associated with owner- and veterinarian-reported improvements in pain and mobility (e.g. Comblain et al., 2017); objective gait measures were often unchanged, and these effects have not been demonstrated for the small amounts of plain turmeric found in most foods.

Guaranteed analysis

as fed · compared to AAFCO dog growth & reproduction minimums

AAFCO, the Association of American Feed Control Officials, publishes minimum nutrient levels for complete dog and cat foods. Each bar below compares this product's declared analysis to the AAFCO dog growth & reproduction minimum, marked by the vertical tick.

This product is labelled for all life stages. AAFCO requires an all-life-stages food to meet the growth profile, the stricter of its two profiles, so figures here are compared against AAFCO dog growth & reproduction minimums.

Values as declared by the manufacturer (as fed). AAFCO minimums are published on a dry-matter basis and converted using the declared moisture before comparison; the comparison is shown for context only. Consult your vet for diet decisions.
