8.7 out of 10

Strong Choice

This food is a good fit for dogs who need a somewhat leaner diet while still getting solid animal protein, including many bully‑type breeds but also any puppy or adult dog in normal activity. The lamb meal and pork provide the main proteins, with several grains and oats supplying digestible energy and fiber. It’s designed as a complete everyday diet with added omega fats, taurine, and probiotics for general support.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Lamb meal and pork provide named animal protein sources to support muscle maintenance and growth.
  • Uses brown rice, barley, sorghum, and oats instead of being grain‑free, which helps avoid the pulse‑heavy patterns linked to some heart concerns.
  • Includes salmon oil and flaxseed, which add omega‑3 fatty acids that can support skin, coat, and overall inflammation control.
  • Added probiotics and prebiotic inulin may help support a healthy gut microbiome in some dogs.

Considerations

  • Contains lamb, pork, fish, and egg‑related ingredients, so it is not suitable for dogs with allergies to those proteins.
  • At 11% minimum fat, it is leaner than many “bulking” or high‑performance foods and may not meet the needs of very high‑energy working dogs on its own.
  • The calorie density is fairly high per cup, so portion control will be important for dogs prone to weight gain.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.
View ingredient
02
Pork
Pork is used in pet foods primarily as a high-quality animal protein and flavor enhancer, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins (especially B12 and niacin), iron and zinc, plus fat for calorie-dense energy; it can be suitable for both dogs and cats when balanced in a complete diet. Because pork can be relatively high in fat, it may be inappropriate for pets requiring low‑fat diets or those prone to pancreatitis, some animals may have sensitivities to pork, and raw or undercooked pork can carry parasites or pathogens so it should be properly processed or cooked.
View ingredient
03
Brown Rice
Brown rice is a whole-grain carbohydrate and fiber ingredient commonly used in dog and cat foods to provide digestible energy, dietary fiber, and modest amounts of B‑vitamins and minerals; it typically offers more nutrients and fiber than white rice. It’s generally well tolerated and can help with sensitive stomachs, but because it is high in carbohydrates (not a primary protein source) and can contain trace inorganic arsenic depending on sourcing, it should be included in balanced formulations and monitored in overweight or diabetic pets.
04
Barley
Barley is a cereal grain used in pet foods primarily as a digestible carbohydrate and source of dietary fiber (including soluble beta‑glucans), along with modest amounts of B vitamins and minerals. It can support healthy digestion, help moderate post‑meal blood sugar and aid weight management in dogs, but provides limited protein for obligate carnivores like cats, must be cooked/processed for good digestibility, and may be unsuitable for pets with grain sensitivities or calorie‑restricted diets.
View ingredient
05
Sorghum
Sorghum is a cereal grain commonly used in pet foods as a source of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber and modest plant protein, often chosen as a gluten‑free alternative to wheat or corn. It can provide fermentable fiber and antioxidant compounds that may support digestion and glycemic control, but is generally less digestible than some grains unless properly processed and certain tannin‑rich varieties can reduce nutrient availability, so quality sourcing and appropriate formulation are important—particularly for cats, whose diets should remain primarily animal‑based.
