All Life Stage Turkey & Lentils Dry Dog Recipe
Verified Jun 9, 2026
This is a grain-free, chicken-free dry food for dogs of all ages, using deboned turkey and turkey meal as the primary protein sources. Lentils, peas, and fava beans supply most of the carbohydrates, while flaxseed, coconut oil, and fish oil contribute omega-3 and omega-6 fats to support skin, coat, and overall health. It also includes added taurine, DHA, and a probiotic blend aimed at supporting digestion and immune function.
Overall, this is a solid, moderate-calorie turkey-based kibble suitable for most healthy dogs at any life stage. It offers a reasonable protein level, added omega-3 and omega-6 fats, and multiple probiotic strains. Because it relies heavily on lentils, peas, and fava beans, I would be cautious using it as the only long-term diet for breeds where heart disease is a concern.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Deboned turkey and turkey meal provide named animal protein sources at the top of the ingredient list.
- Added omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids support skin, coat, and overall health needs.
- Includes prebiotic FOS and several probiotic strains, which can help support digestive health.
- Calcium and phosphorus levels are appropriate for a typical all-life-stages dry dog food.
Considerations
- Lentils, peas, and fava beans are major ingredients, making this a legume-heavy, grain-free diet.
- Legume-heavy, grain-free diets have been linked to heart issues in some dogs, so this may not be ideal as a sole long-term food for at-risk breeds.
- Turkey and fish ingredients may trigger issues in dogs with poultry or fish allergies.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Deboned Turkey
Deboned turkey is commonly used in pet foods as a high-quality, lean animal protein that provides essential amino acids, B vitamins, and contributes to palatability and digestibility for both dogs and cats. It supports muscle maintenance and growth but can be an allergen for some animals, so owners of pets with food sensitivities should monitor reactions; additionally, complete diets must be formulated to meet species-specific needs (for example, adequate taurine for cats).
02
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.
03
Lentil
Lentils are a plant-based source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber and micronutrients (notably folate and iron) commonly used in pet foods to add bulk, promote satiety and help moderate post-meal blood sugar. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs when properly processed and balanced with animal-derived amino acids, but lentil protein is less digestible and incomplete for obligate carnivores like cats; high legume inclusion can also increase gas or digestive upset and has been discussed in the context of diet-associated heart concerns in dogs, so lentils should be used in nutritionally complete, vetted formulations.
04
Pea
Pea is a plant-based ingredient used in pet foods as a source of protein, soluble and insoluble fiber, and micronutrients (often included as whole peas, pea flour, or pea protein concentrate) to boost protein content and improve texture. While peas can provide digestible carbohydrates, fiber, and some plant protein useful especially for dogs, they are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and — when overused, particularly in concentrated forms or as a major component of grain‑free diets — have been scrutinized for a possible association with canine dilated cardiomyopathy and can contribute to nutrient imbalances or excess calories, so balanced formulation and compliance with AAFCO nutritional profiles are important.
05
Faba Bean
Faba beans (fava beans) are a legume used in pet foods as a plant-based source of protein, fiber and complex carbohydrates, often added to boost protein content and calorie balance while lowering reliance on animal ingredients. They can provide digestible energy and fiber but have a limited amino acid profile for obligate carnivores, may require processing to reduce antinutrients and lectins, can cause gastrointestinal upset or flatulence in some pets, and — as with other pulses — are used cautiously in grain‑free diets because of unsettled links to canine heart concerns.
