KibbleLab Score
8.2 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a thoughtfully formulated, grain-free dry food with moderate protein and fat levels that should suit many adult dogs with normal activity. Animal proteins (wild boar and pork meal) are supported by legumes and potatoes for energy, and the addition of taurine, joint-support ingredients, probiotics, and omega fatty acids is a nice nutritional plus. Because peas and garbanzo beans are prominent ingredients, it’s best used with some caution in breeds where grain-free, legume-heavy diets have been associated with heart issues, unless your veterinarian advises otherwise.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Wild boar and pork meal provide identifiable animal protein sources, with a reasonable 25% minimum protein and 15% minimum fat for an adult maintenance diet.
  • Includes added taurine, which is important given current research concerns about grain-free diets and heart health in some dogs.
  • Contains glucosamine and chondroitin from pork and duck meals, which can help support joint health in larger or active dogs.
  • Added omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin C, and probiotics offer extra support for skin, coat, and digestive health.

Considerations

  • This is a grain-free, legume-heavy formula, with garbanzo beans and peas high on the ingredient list; such diets have been linked in some studies to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in certain dogs, so discuss with your vet if you have a breed at higher risk.
  • Primary carbohydrates come from garbanzo beans, potatoes, and peas, which may not suit dogs that don’t do well on legumes or that need more traditional grain-based diets.
  • Contains pork and duck, which can be problem ingredients for dogs with known protein allergies or sensitivities to these meats.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Wild Boar
Wild boar is a game meat used as a novel animal-protein source in dog and cat diets, providing high-quality protein, essential amino acids and often higher levels of iron and B vitamins that support muscle maintenance and overall health. It can be helpful for pets with sensitivities to common proteins but may have variable fat content and a strong flavor, and should be sourced and processed to commercial pet-food standards to minimize risks from pathogens, parasites and inconsistent nutrient profiles.
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
Chickpea
Chickpeas are a legume commonly used in pet foods as a plant-based protein, source of digestible carbohydrates, and supply of soluble and insoluble fiber that helps with stool quality and satiety. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs but are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and may cause gas or digestive upset if underprocessed; additionally, high inclusion of legumes in some grain‑free diets has been discussed as a potential factor in canine dilated cardiomyopathy so diets should be balanced and any concerns discussed with your veterinarian.
View ingredient
04
Potato
Potato is commonly used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate source and functional binder, supplying starch, fiber, and modest amounts of vitamins (B6, C) and potassium—often included as cooked or dehydrated flakes, starch, or protein concentrates. While it provides energy and helps formulate grain‑free recipes, potatoes are not a primary protein for dogs or cats (and are not nutritionally required for obligate‑carnivore cats), can contribute to excess calories or affect blood glucose in diabetic animals, and must be cooked and free of green skins or sprouts to avoid solanine toxicity; allergies are uncommon but possible.
View ingredient
05
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.
