25/11 High Protein Lamb Low Fat Dry Dog Food

Verified Jun 15, 2026

Dog · Dry Puppy Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a lower-fat, all-life-stages dry dog food that uses lamb meal as the primary protein source, with pork, fish meal, and whole grains like brown rice and barley for additional nutrients and energy. At 25% protein and 11% fat, it’s designed to support lean body condition while still providing enough calories for growing puppies and active adults. Added salmon oil, flaxseed, prebiotic fiber, and probiotics help support skin, coat, and digestive health in many dogs.

KibbleLab Score
8.4 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a solid, moderately high-protein dry food with a relatively low fat level, which can work well for dogs who need to stay lean or who don't tolerate richer diets. Lamb meal as the first ingredient, supported by pork and fish meal, gives a good mix of animal proteins, and the grain-based carbohydrate sources are generally well tolerated. It’s complete and balanced by formulation for all life stages, so it can be used for puppies and adults, though some very high‑energy or working dogs may do better on a higher‑fat option.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Lamb meal as the first ingredient, plus pork and menhaden fish meal, provides multiple high-quality animal protein sources.
  • Moderate 25% protein with relatively low 11% fat can be helpful for dogs that need controlled fat intake while maintaining muscle mass.
  • Includes salmon oil and flaxseed meal, which are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids to support skin, coat, and overall health.
  • Contains added prebiotic fiber (inulin) and probiotic cultures, which can support healthy digestion in many dogs, and uses well-established grains like brown rice, barley, sorghum, and oats instead of heavy legume or pea content.

Considerations

  • Contains multiple animal proteins (lamb, pork, fish), so it isn’t ideal for an elimination diet or dogs with known protein allergies to any of these ingredients.
  • At 11% fat, this is leaner than many standard puppy and performance diets; very high‑energy, hard‑working, or underweight dogs may need a higher‑fat formula to meet their calorie needs more efficiently.
  • Includes tomato pomace and added natural flavor, which are safe but can be viewed as less nutrient-dense than whole food ingredients, especially for very sensitive dogs.

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.
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.
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.
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.
