Flags-8 points in all

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.

Caution-4

Natural flavor

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

Caution-4

Meat flavor and digest

A rendered palatant from animal tissue; the vaguer the name, the less you know.

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.

This page was corrected once.

  • Sep 22, 2026 Panel Score 90 → 86: added a caution for Meat flavor and digest. The panel lists “turkey flavor”. Our ingredient library did not recognise that wording until this line was added on September 22, 2026, so the record was not carrying the flag.

Holding the package and it reads differently? Disputes come straight to us, and any score we change is logged publicly on the corrections page.
