Potential source of danger

When an ingredient in dog food is referred to as a "potential source of danger", this means that this ingredient could be harmful or even dangerous for your dog under certain circumstances. There can be various reasons for this:

Toxicity: some ingredients can be toxic to dogs, even if they are safe for humans. For example, chocolate and xylitol (a sweetener) are toxic to dogs.
Allergies or intolerances: Some dogs may be allergic to certain ingredients or not tolerate them well. This can range from mild digestive problems to severe allergic reactions.
Unsuitable composition: Certain nutrient ratios that are healthy for humans may be unsuitable for dogs. For example, dogs require a different ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Health risks if the dosage is too high: Even ingredients that are generally safe can be problematic in excessive quantities. For example, an excessive intake of certain vitamins or minerals can lead to health problems.
