Good, check the flags
Scored October 2026 · checkthepanel.com
2 flagged ingredients.
Avoid first. Each flag costs points in the score above; where a flag has an entry behind it, it links to the evidence.
Blood meal
Dried blood from slaughtered animals; the label doesn't say which animal it came from.
Natural flavor
An undisclosed blend. Not harmful per se, but it hides what your pet is actually tasting.
Every ingredient, top to bottom.
Listed by weight, so the first few lines are most of the food. Tap any line to see what it is and why it's there.
32 ingredients. 2 of them carry this product's 2 flags and are marked below. The other 30 raised no flag.

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.
What we look forThis page was corrected once.
- Oct 24, 2026 “Meat and bone meal” is now “Blood meal”. The score did not change. The line behind it is “Blood Meal”. Until October 24, 2026 our library filed blood meal under meat and bone meal; it now has an entry of its own.
Holding the package and it reads differently? Disputes come straight to us, and any score we change is logged publicly on the corrections page.
