    Botanical / flavouring

    Plant extras like this are usually added in tiny amounts, so points are taken only when the label declares 1% or more.

    Why it’s noted and sources

    The ASPCA lists chamomile as toxic to dogs, with stomach upset and allergic reactions, and warns that long-term use can cause bleeding problems. The amounts in dog food are small; we flag it as a caution.
