About This Product

Purina Go Cat with Chicken and with Duck by Purina is a dog food product that scored 5/10 on our ingredient safety scale. This is a below-average score, suggesting several ingredients that pet owners may want to be aware of. We analyzed 18 ingredients in this formula and found no major safety concerns.

How We Score Pet Food

Our safety score uses a position-weighted formula: ingredients listed first (higher concentration) receive more weight in the calculation. Each ingredient is scored 1-10 based on published veterinary research and regulatory data. The final product score reflects the overall ingredient quality, with penalties for known carcinogens, artificial preservatives, low-quality fillers, and artificial colors.

What to Look For in Dog Food

  • Named protein first — "Chicken" or "Salmon" is better than "Meat by-products"
  • Minimal fillers — Avoid corn gluten meal, wheat middlings, soy flour as top ingredients
  • No artificial preservatives — BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin are linked to health concerns
  • No artificial colors — Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 2 serve no nutritional purpose for dogs
  • Omega fatty acids — Flaxseed, fish oil, or salmon oil support skin and coat health
  • Joint support for seniors — Glucosamine and chondroitin for older dogs
