At a Glance

Real whole meat as the first protein ingredient ▾

When whole meat tops the ingredient list, it means protein is the star of the recipe, not an afterthought.

Taurine levels above 95% of peers ▾

Taurine supports heart and eye health. Dogs can synthesize it, but dietary taurine may be beneficial, especially on grain-free diets where a link to heart disease has been studied.

Simpler ingredient list than 93% of peers ▾

A shorter ingredient list often means a more straightforward recipe. It's also easier to spot anything your pet might be sensitive to.
