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.
25 ingredients with nothing flagged
Apples, beet pulp, biotin (vitamin H/B7), carrot, chicken, chicory root extract, chondroitin, dandelion root, glucosamine, green tea extract, hawthorn, pear, peas, potato, seaweed, sweet potato, tocopherols (vitamin E)
Allowed up to a legal maximum, none declared above it: copper, iodine, iron, manganese, selenium, vitamin A (retinyl acetate), vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), zinc
Checked against the EU Catalogue of Feed Materials and FEDIAF guidelines.
