Strong Choice
For a vegan, plant-based dog food, this formula is thoughtfully put together and nutritionally complete for adult maintenance, with organic legumes and grains providing the bulk of the protein and energy. The guaranteed analysis shows moderate protein and fat, which can work well for many adult dogs who are not highly active. It’s best suited for healthy adult dogs whose owners specifically want a vegan diet, with the understanding that it relies entirely on plant proteins and added amino acids rather than animal-based ingredients.

Strengths
- Complete and balanced to AAFCO standards for adult maintenance, so it’s formulated to meet core nutrient requirements without animal products.
- Moderate 22% protein and 11% fat on a dry matter basis appropriate for many average adult dogs, with added taurine, methionine, and lysine to help support a more complete amino acid profile in a vegan formula.
- Uses organic peas, barley, oats, and flaxseed, providing fiber and plant-based omega-3s, plus added omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in the guaranteed analysis.
- Free of animal proteins, dairy, and eggs, which can be helpful for dogs in households committed to vegan feeding or for some dogs with multiple animal-protein sensitivities, under veterinary guidance.
Considerations
- All protein is plant-derived (peas, lentils, grains, yeast), which is less traditional for dogs; some dogs may do better on diets that include animal protein, so close monitoring of body condition, muscle mass, and overall health is important.
- Peas and lentils are prominent ingredients; legume-heavy formulas have been investigated in relation to heart disease (DCM) in some dogs, so this is worth discussing with your veterinarian, especially if you have a breed with known cardiac risk.
- The calorie density is relatively high at about 385 kcal per cup, so portion control is important to prevent weight gain, particularly in less active dogs.
- Designed only for adult maintenance and not appropriate for growing puppies, pregnant, or lactating dogs, who have higher and more specific nutrient needs.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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.

02
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.

03
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.

04
Lentil
Lentils are a plant-based source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber and micronutrients (notably folate and iron) commonly used in pet foods to add bulk, promote satiety and help moderate post-meal blood sugar. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs when properly processed and balanced with animal-derived amino acids, but lentil protein is less digestible and incomplete for obligate carnivores like cats; high legume inclusion can also increase gas or digestive upset and has been discussed in the context of diet-associated heart concerns in dogs, so lentils should be used in nutritionally complete, vetted formulations.

05
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source to increase energy density, palatability and supply linoleic acid (an essential omega‑6) that helps maintain healthy skin and coat. It is beneficial for dogs and cats but is high in omega‑6 and low in omega‑3—so formulas should balance fatty acids to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; it is calorie‑dense (important for weight control and pancreatitis-prone animals) and may require antioxidants or high‑oleic formulations for better shelf stability.
