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

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.
17 ingredients with nothing flagged

Allowed up to a legal maximum, none declared above it: copper, iodine, iron, manganese, vitamin A (retinyl acetate), zinc
