Ingredient signals visualization
Generic animal ingredient
cautionGeneric animal terms weaken transparency because the source material is less clear.
Partially supportedRefs 3moderate
Partially supported because transparency-focused guidance supports caution around vague sourcing, while the severity of the penalty remains internal methodology.
Matched ingredients: Menhaden Fish Oil (preserved With Mixed Tocopherols)
IQ -6Digestibility -1Safety -5
Legume presence
cautionLegume-heavy formulas deserve closer interpretation when they materially shape the ingredient deck.
Internal methodologyRefs 1low
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: Peas

Legume presence signal
cautionLegumes are materially present in the ingredient deck and should be interpreted in context.
Internal methodologyRefs 1low

Marine omega support
positiveNamed marine oils are a useful positive signal for skin, coat, and inflammatory support.
Partially supportedRefs 2low
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.

IQ +3Digestibility +1Safety +1
Targeted fiber support
positiveTargeted fibers such as pumpkin or chicory can support stool quality and digestive tolerance.
Partially supportedRefs 2low
Partially supported because digestive-support framing is literature-informed, but real-world tolerance remains context-dependent.
