KibbleLab Score
8.7 out of 10

This is a well-formulated, moderate-protein kibble that should suit most healthy puppies and adult dogs who don’t fall into the large-breed puppy category. Beef and beef meal provide solid animal protein, while the grains used are highly digestible energy sources. Added omega-3s, taurine, probiotics, and joint-support ingredients make it a nutritionally thoughtful option for long-term feeding.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Beef and beef meal near the top of the list provide good-quality animal protein for growth and maintenance.
  • Uses digestible whole grains like brown rice, barley, oatmeal, and sorghum instead of relying heavily on potatoes or pea starch.
  • Includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, taurine, and marine microalgae oil, which support heart, skin, and coat health.
  • Contains probiotics, prebiotics, and joint-support ingredients such as glucosamine and chondroitin for added nutritional support.

Considerations

  • Contains beef, chicken fat, fish meal, peas, and yeast, which can be triggers for dogs with food allergies or sensitivities to these ingredients.
  • Formulated for all life stages but not suitable for growth of large-breed puppies over 70 lb expected adult weight.
  • Carbohydrate level is moderate to higher for a kibble, which may not be ideal for very low-carb feeding preferences.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.

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.
View ingredient
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.
