Manitok Lamb Grain-Free Dry Dog Food
Verified Jun 11, 2026
This is a grain-free dry dog food made primarily from deboned lamb and lamb meal, with added fish meals and marine microalgae for extra omega-3 fatty acids. It’s formulated for all life stages, including large-breed puppies, and includes prebiotics, probiotics, taurine, and L-carnitine to support digestion, heart health, and lean body condition. The moderate-to-high protein and fat levels make it suitable for active dogs that do well on a legume-based, grain-free formula.
Nutritionally, this is a high-protein, moderate-fat dry food with a strong nutrient profile that’s suitable for most healthy dogs, including large-breed puppies. It combines animal proteins with marine oils and added taurine, which helps support heart, skin, and brain health. Because it’s grain-free and relies heavily on legumes, it’s best used with some caution in breeds where heart disease has been a concern on legume-rich diets.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Lamb and lamb meal provide good-quality animal protein, supported by herring meal and added amino acids like lysine and methionine.
- High omega-3 levels from fish and marine microalgae oils help support skin, coat, and overall inflammation control.
- Complete and balanced for all life stages, including large-breed growth, with detailed mineral and vitamin levels provided.
- Includes prebiotic chicory root and multiple probiotic cultures, which can help maintain a healthy digestive tract.
Considerations
- This is a grain-free formula that relies heavily on lentils, peas, and chickpeas, which have been linked to diet-associated heart issues in some dogs.
- Contains lamb and fish, which are common food allergens for some dogs and not ideal if your dog is sensitive to these proteins.
- At about 452 kcal per cup, it is calorie-dense, so portions need to be measured carefully to avoid unwanted weight gain.
- The relatively high calcium level makes it important to stick closely to feeding guidelines for large-breed puppies to avoid overfeeding.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Deboned Lamb
Deboned lamb is used in pet foods primarily as a high-quality animal protein source for dogs and cats, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron and zinc while lacking the calcium associated with bone-in meats. It can be a palatable option and a potential novel protein for animals with food sensitivities, but owners should note lamb can be higher in fat and calories than lean meats and raw or undercooked lamb may carry pathogens unless properly processed, so check product labels and consult your veterinarian for specific dietary needs.
02
Lamb
Lamb is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a high-quality animal protein that supplies essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins and is often chosen for its palatability or as a “novel” protein in elimination diets. It can be higher in fat and calories than some other meats and may still cause allergic reactions in sensitive animals, so owners of overweight pets or those with food sensitivities should consult a veterinarian and use proper handling/cooking practices if feeding raw or homemade lamb.
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
Field Pea
Field peas are commonly used in dog and cat foods as a plant-based protein, starch/binder and fiber source, contributing protein, soluble and insoluble fiber and some micronutrients (e.g., iron and B‑vitamins) while being low in fat. They can be a useful ingredient in moderate amounts—particularly in grain‑free or novel‑protein diets—but are less bioavailable than animal proteins for obligate carnivores, can cause gas from oligosaccharides, contain antinutritional factors that are reduced by processing, and have been highlighted in investigations of diet‑associated canine DCM when used in high levels or in diets lacking key nutrients (e.g., taurine), so balanced formulation and monitoring are important.
05
Herring
Herring is commonly used as a high-quality, palatable fish protein and oil source in dog and cat foods, supplying digestible protein along with beneficial long-chain omega-3s (EPA/DHA), vitamin D, B vitamins and trace minerals. It can support skin, coat and joint health, but may be an allergen for some pets and raw fish can contain thiaminase (typically destroyed by commercial cooking); owners should also consider fat content for pancreatitis-prone animals and look for responsibly sourced, low-contaminant products.
