Strong Choice
This is a well-formulated adult dry dog food with lamb and turkey meals supplying moderate-to-good protein levels, supported by wholesome grains like brown rice, sorghum, and oatmeal. The addition of taurine, omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, glucosamine, chondroitin, antioxidants, and probiotics makes it a nicely rounded option for many healthy adult dogs. It’s best suited for dogs who do well on grain-inclusive diets and don’t have sensitivities to lamb or poultry.

Strengths
- Lamb, turkey meal, and lamb meal provide multiple high-quality animal protein sources, with a reasonable 24.5% minimum protein for an adult dry kibble.
- Includes whole grains (brown rice, sorghum, oatmeal) that offer digestible carbohydrates and fiber without relying on corn, wheat, or soy.
- Fortified with taurine, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin C, and antioxidants like green tea and rosemary extract, which support overall health.
- Contains glucosamine and chondroitin from meat meals plus added probiotics, which can help support joint and digestive health in many dogs.
Considerations
- Contains lamb and turkey, which are common animal proteins; dogs with known lamb or poultry allergies would need a different protein source.
- Protein level is adequate for most adult dogs but not particularly high, so very athletic or working dogs may need a higher-protein formula depending on their individual needs.
- Uses canola oil as the primary added fat source, which is nutritionally acceptable but less rich in omega-3s than some fish-based fat sources.

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
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
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
Grain Sorghum
Grain sorghum is a gluten-free cereal grain used in pet foods primarily as a carbohydrate and fiber source that also contributes modest plant protein, B vitamins, and minerals, often serving as an alternative to corn or wheat. It supplies energy and dietary fiber for dogs and cats but is relatively low in certain essential amino acids (like lysine), and some tannin-containing varieties can reduce palatability and nutrient digestibility—processing and balanced formulation mitigate these issues, and sourcing should guard against mycotoxin contamination.
05
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber (notably beta‑glucans), serving as a gentle filler or binder that can support healthy digestion and steady energy release. It provides B vitamins and minerals, is generally well tolerated by dogs and many cats when cooked and plain, but should be free of added sugars or flavorings and used cautiously for overweight or diabetic pets or animals with individual grain sensitivities.
