Verified Aug 17, 2026

Dog · Dry Puppy All Breed Sizes

A high-protein, grain-free dry puppy food designed for growing, active pups who are not expected to be large-breed adults. It uses multiple animal protein sources including chicken, turkey, salmon, trout, duck, egg, and herring, with added omega-3s and omega-6s to support healthy growth and development. Probiotics, chicory root, and a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs are included to support digestive health and overall wellness during the growth phase.

KibbleLab Score
8.0 out of 10

Strong Choice

Nutritionally, this is a rich, calorie-dense option for small- and medium-breed puppies or those with higher energy needs. It offers multiple high-quality animal protein sources, appropriate calcium and phosphorus levels for growth, and added omega-3s and probiotics. It is not suitable for large-breed puppies, and the legume-heavy, grain-free formulation is something to consider in light of current DCM concerns.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • High protein and fat levels support the energy and growth needs of most puppies.
  • Multiple animal protein sources, including chicken, turkey, duck, and fish meals, provide a strong amino acid profile.
  • Includes EPA and DHA plus good omega-3 and omega-6 levels, which are important for developing brains, skin, and coat.
  • Added probiotics and prebiotic chicory root may help support healthy digestion in growing puppies.

Considerations

  • Formulated specifically not for large-breed puppies, so it should be avoided for dogs expected to reach 70 lb or more as adults.
  • Grain-free with peas, lentils, and chickpeas high on the list; legume-heavy diets have been linked to heart issues in some dogs.
  • Contains chicken, turkey, egg, and fish, which are common allergens for some dogs with food sensitivities.
  • Very calorie-dense, so portions will be small and it may be easy to overfeed less active puppies.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.

02
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.
View ingredient
03
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.
