Strong Choice
This food is a solid option for healthy adult medium and large breed dogs who do well with lamb and mixed animal proteins. It provides moderate protein and fat, uses a variety of named animal ingredients, and includes whole grains plus fruit for additional nutrients and antioxidants. It should suit many active adult dogs, as long as they don’t have sensitivities to common proteins like chicken, pork, or fish.

Strengths
- Lamb and dehydrated lamb lead a range of named animal proteins, giving good-quality, highly digestible protein sources.
- Includes whole grains (spelt, oats, barley, rice) instead of relying on legumes or potatoes, which is a plus for dogs where grain-inclusive diets are preferred.
- Balanced adult dry-food profile (25% protein, 16% fat as-fed) that should work well for many medium and large adult dogs at maintenance.
- Added omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, plus glucosamine and chondroitin, which can support skin, coat, and joint health in larger dogs.
Considerations
- Contains multiple common allergens (lamb, chicken, pork, fish), so it is not a good fit for dogs needing a limited-ingredient or single-protein diet.
- Formulated for maintenance only, so it is not appropriate for puppies or pregnant/nursing dogs.
- Natural flavors and mixed animal proteins may make it harder to use as a diagnostic diet for dogs with suspected food allergies.

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
Spelt
Spelt is an ancient wheat grain used in pet foods mainly as a carbohydrate and fiber source that also contributes some plant-based protein, B vitamins and minerals. It can supply digestible energy and fiber for dogs (and limitedly for cats), but contains gluten and may trigger sensitivities or allergies, is not a substitute for the animal protein required by obligate carnivores, and should be avoided or discussed with a veterinarian for pets with grain intolerance, diabetes, or weight-management needs.

04
Oat
Oats are commonly used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber (beta‑glucans), plant protein, B vitamins and minerals, which can support healthy digestion and help moderate blood glucose and cholesterol. They are generally well tolerated by dogs and can be included sparingly for cats, but owners should avoid flavored or sweetened preparations (and ingredients like xylitol or raisins), be mindful of possible grain sensitivities or cross‑contamination with gluten, and prefer cooked oats for better digestibility and portion control due to caloric content.

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.
