Skin & Coat Squeezable for Dogs, Only 5 Ingredients ingredients, explained

The recipe is built on human grade chicken, the first ingredient on the label. Common dog food allergens on the label: chicken. Omega-3 comes from tuna oil, the form dogs use directly.

What this food is made of

Tapioca

Starch from the cassava root, used to bind kibble and as a carbohydrate source, especially in grain-free foods. It is nearly pure starch with little protein, fiber or micronutrients, and it is one of the least likely ingredients to trigger an allergy. A food that leans on tapioca for carbohydrate is getting easy digestibility and little else from it, which is fine as long as the rest of the recipe carries the nutrition.

Sunflower oil

A plant oil added as a source of linoleic acid, the omega-6 fat dogs and cats need for skin and coat. It is cheap, stable and well tolerated. Sunflower oil contains no omega-3, so a food that uses it as the main fat will usually add fish oil or flaxseed for balance. The high-oleic variety is lower in linoleic acid and used mainly for shelf stability.

Fish oil

Oil pressed from whole fish, usually menhaden, herring or sardine, added as the source of the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA. Those fats support skin, coat, joints and brain development, and a food that names fish oil is delivering them in the form pets use directly. It goes rancid quickly, so look for a preservative named alongside it, usually mixed tocopherols. The species is rarely stated, which matters only if your pet reacts to fish.

Vitamins, minerals and additives (1)

The nutrient pack nearly every complete food carries. Expand to read what each one does.

Water

Water added during the making of wet food, listed as 'water sufficient for processing'. It is there to form the gravy or loaf and to cook the ingredients, and it is why wet food is around 75 to 80 percent moisture. For cats, that moisture is the main nutritional argument for wet food, since many cats drink little on their own. It is sometimes called a filler. Wet food cannot be made without it.
