Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a high-protein, relatively high-fat kibble centered on animal proteins, with added fish and egg for a broad amino acid profile. It offers good omega-3 levels and added joint-support nutrients, making it a solid choice for healthy, active medium and large dogs who do well on grain-free diets. As with any grain-free food that uses peas, it’s best suited to dogs without heart concerns and under regular veterinary care.

Benefits the manufacturer highlights in its own product marketing. KibbleLab lists them for reference and does not verify these claims.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Lamb and dehydrated lamb are the main proteins, supported by herring and egg for a strong overall amino acid profile.
- Protein and fat levels are robust for an adult kibble, which can suit active, lean medium and large breed dogs.
- Contains EPA and DHA, plus a good omega-3 and omega-6 balance to support skin, coat, and overall health.
- Includes glucosamine and chondroitin, which can help support joint health in medium and large dogs over time.
Considerations
- This is a grain-free recipe using pea starch and pea fiber; if your vet has concerns about grain-free diets and heart health, discuss this option with them.
- Chicken fat, pork fat, egg, and fish are present, so it won’t be suitable for dogs with allergies to these ingredients.
- The higher fat and calorie density may be too rich for dogs who are overweight or have pancreatitis or fat-sensitive conditions.

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.

03
Pea Starch
Pea starch is used in pet foods primarily as a carbohydrate binder, thickener and texture agent to help form kibble and provide readily digestible energy, rather than as a protein or fiber source. It is a gluten‑free, highly digestible starch that can increase calorie density and glycemic load (important for overweight or diabetic pets) and, like other pea/legume ingredients used in high amounts in some grain‑free diets, should be part of a balanced formulation chosen with veterinary guidance for pets with special health concerns.
04
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.

05
Chicken Fat
Chicken fat is used in dog and cat foods as a concentrated energy and flavor source that supplies essential fatty acids (notably linoleic acid) and aids absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins, improving palatability and supporting skin and coat health. Because it is calorie‑dense, diets must account for added fat to prevent weight gain, and quality (proper rendering and antioxidant protection to prevent rancidity) is important; although fats are less commonly allergenic than proteins, pets with poultry sensitivities may still react in some cases.
