Ingredient signals visualization

Generic animal ingredient

caution

Generic animal terms weaken transparency because the source material is less clear.

Partially supportedRefs 3
moderate

Partially supported because transparency-focused guidance supports caution around vague sourcing, while the severity of the penalty remains internal methodology.

Matched ingredients: fish oil

IQ -6Digestibility -1Safety -5

Legume presence

caution

Legume-heavy formulas deserve closer interpretation when they materially shape the ingredient deck.

Internal methodologyRefs 1
low

Internal methodology only because this layer uses legume presence as a prompt for closer context review, not as proof of harm or poor formulation.

Ingredient rules
Presence alone should not be overstated.

Matched ingredients: whole red lentils, whole pinto beans, whole green lentils, whole chickpeas, pea starch, lentil fiber, whole pears

Legume presence signal

caution

Legumes are materially present in the ingredient deck and should be interpreted in context.

Internal methodologyRefs 1
low

Internal methodology only because this layer uses legume presence as a prompt for closer context review, not as proof of harm or poor formulation.

Presence alone should not be overstated.

Matched ingredients: whole red lentils, whole pinto beans, whole green lentils, whole chickpeas, pea starch, lentil fiber, whole pears

IQ -4Digestibility -2

Marine omega support

positive

Named marine oils are a useful positive signal for skin, coat, and inflammatory support.

Partially supportedRefs 2
low

Partially supported because broad literature context exists, but product-level effect and dosing relevance are not mapped here.

Omega-3 review [ext]Ingredient rules
Presence alone is not proof of efficacy, adequacy, or bioavailable dosing.

Matched ingredients: fish oil

IQ +3Digestibility +1Safety +1

Named animal protein

positive

The ingredient deck clearly includes named animal protein rather than relying on vague animal terms.

Partially supportedRefs 3
moderate

Partially supported because transparency-focused guidance and professional review norms support the direction of this interpretation, but the exact signal effect is internal.

This is a transparency interpretation, not proof of superior health outcomes.

Matched ingredients: Duck

IQ +6Digestibility +2Safety +2

Targeted fiber support

positive

Targeted fibers such as pumpkin or chicory can support stool quality and digestive tolerance.

Partially supportedRefs 2
low

Partially supported because digestive-support framing is literature-informed, but real-world tolerance remains context-dependent.

Gut diet review [ext]Ingredient rules

Matched ingredients: whole pumpkin, dried chicory root

IQ +2Digestibility +5Safety +1

Transparency warning signal

caution

The ingredient panel includes vague generic animal terminology that weakens transparency.
