Why 9096 to start

Flags-4 points in all

1 flagged ingredient.

Avoid first. Each flag costs points in the score above; where a flag has an entry behind it, it links to the evidence.

Caution-4

Natural flavor

An undisclosed blend. Not harmful per se, but it hides what your pet is actually tasting.

BTransparency

Royal Canin

Vet-channel staple with tight nutritional targeting; panels name the by-product but not the flavor blend.

Precise breed/size formulas that still lean on by-product meal and 'natural flavors'. The B grade takes 2 points off this product's score.

Independent testing & contaminants

No independent testing on file.

Third-party lab findings for things that never appear on an ingredient label. This is separate from the score above and does not change it.

We haven't found published third-party lab results (PFAS, heavy metals, phthalates) for this product. That is not a clean bill of health, just an absence of data.
