75 and over is excellent, 60 to 74 good, 45 to 59 fair and under 45 weak.

Yucca extractNoted, no points taken
Feed material (flavouring)
Why it’s noted and sources
Added to reduce stool odour. The ASPCA lists the yucca plant as toxic to dogs, and in a dog study the extract raised a liver enzyme at 750 mg/kg of food, though not at 500. Labels rarely give the amount. We note it, but take no points off.
