Nude Super Food Red Meat Medley Dry Dog Food
Verified Jun 17, 2026
This is a high‑protein dry dog food featuring beef, beef meal, and bison as the main animal protein sources, supported by peas, lentils, and chickpeas as plant ingredients. It’s formulated for all life stages except large-breed puppy growth and includes added omega fatty acids, taurine, prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes to support digestion and overall wellness. The recipe is designed for dogs who do well on a red-meat–based, grain-free kibble.
Nutritionally, this is a high-protein, moderate-fat grain-free kibble that should work well for many active adult dogs and smaller-breed puppies. It has multiple animal protein sources, added omega-3s, taurine, probiotics, and digestive enzymes, which is a nice combination. Because it relies heavily on peas, lentils, and chickpeas, I’d be a bit more cautious using it as the sole long-term diet in breeds with known heart concerns and would avoid it for large-breed puppies as the label advises.

At a Glance
What "not formulated for" means
Life stages this food isn't certified complete and balanced for, based on its AAFCO statement.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Beef and beef meal as the first ingredients provide concentrated, high-quality animal protein.
- Good protein and fat levels for active dogs, with added omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for skin and coat support.
- Includes probiotics and digestive enzymes that may help support gut health and stool quality.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO standards for all life stages except large-breed growth, so it can cover many dogs’ needs.
Considerations
- Grain-free and relies heavily on peas, lentils, and chickpeas, which have been linked to heart issues in some dogs when fed as the main diet long term.
- Contains beef, pork flavor, fish oil, and chicken-free but still multiple common animal allergens, so it may not suit dogs with food allergies.
- Not appropriate for large-breed puppies, so a different formula is needed during that growth phase.
- Higher calorie density means portions need to be measured carefully to avoid unwanted weight gain.

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
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.
04
Pea Protein
Pea protein is a concentrated plant-based protein and functional ingredient in pet foods used to raise protein levels, improve texture and contribute soluble fiber, vitamins and minerals. It can be a useful, digestible protein source for dogs and a supplemental protein in some cat formulas, but because it is lower in certain essential amino acids (and cats are obligate carnivores), diets relying heavily on pea protein should be formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles and owners should note potential legume sensitivities and the debated link between high‑pulse, grain‑free diets and canine heart concerns.
05
Chickpea
Chickpeas are a legume commonly used in pet foods as a plant-based protein, source of digestible carbohydrates, and supply of soluble and insoluble fiber that helps with stool quality and satiety. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs but are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and may cause gas or digestive upset if underprocessed; additionally, high inclusion of legumes in some grain‑free diets has been discussed as a potential factor in canine dilated cardiomyopathy so diets should be balanced and any concerns discussed with your veterinarian.
