Worth a closer look

3 ingredients in this product are debated. None of this is a verdict on safety — it's what to ask your vet about.

Corn gluten meal

Frequently used to inflate the protein percentage without adding meat. It's low in some amino acids pets need, so it's a poor substitute for animal protein.

Menadione (vitamin K3)

Banned from human supplements over liver toxicity and red-blood-cell damage at high doses. Still permitted in pet food, and there's no established requirement for supplemental vitamin K in healthy dogs and cats.

Sodium metabisulfite

Destroys thiamine (vitamin B1). Thiamine deficiency is a serious, documented cause of neurological illness in cats.
