Flagged ingredients

Avoid
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole): a preservative flagged as a possible carcinogen in animal studies; many brands have dropped it. see the evidence
Caution
“Natural flavor”: an undisclosed blend. Not harmful per se, but it hides what's actually in the recipe. see the evidence
Caution
Artificial colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, and friends): purely cosmetic. Your pet doesn't care what color the food is; dyes add risk with zero benefit. see the evidence
Caution
Propylene glycol: a humectant that keeps treats chewy; banned in cat food, and dogs don't need it either. see the evidence

Independent testing & contaminants

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.

No independent testing on file. 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. See the methodology page for what testing does and doesn't exist across the category.
