Grass-Fed Lamb Dry Dog Food
Verified Jun 14, 2026
This is an all-life-stages dry kibble featuring lamb as the primary animal protein, supported by beef meal and fish oil. Lentils, peas, chickpeas, and sweet potato provide the main carbohydrate and fiber sources, while added probiotics, prebiotics, and omega fatty acids support digestion and skin and coat health. It’s a poultry-free option suitable for puppies through adults, including pregnant and nursing dogs, as long as they tolerate lamb and beef well.
Overall this is a solid, moderately high-protein dry food suitable for most healthy dogs, including puppies and adults, when fed as directed. It relies on a mix of lamb, beef meal, and plant ingredients for protein and energy, with added omega fats and probiotics for extra nutritional support. It’s a good fit for dogs that do well on legume-inclusive diets, but may not be ideal if you’re specifically trying to avoid beef, lamb, or higher legume content.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Lamb and beef meal provide concentrated animal protein to help meet your dog’s amino acid needs.
- Complete and balanced to AAFCO standards for all life stages, so it can be used for puppies and adults.
- Includes fish oil, flaxseed, and sunflower oil to supply omega fatty acids that support skin, coat, and overall health.
- Contains a probiotic (Bacillus coagulans), chicory root, and beet pulp, which can support healthy digestion.
Considerations
- Contains lentils, peas, and chickpeas high in the ingredient list, contributing a significant amount of plant-based protein and carbs.
- Because this is a legume-heavy, grain-free formula, it may not be the best choice for breeds where heart health and DCM risk are a special concern.
- Includes lamb, beef, and fish, which are common protein allergens, so it is not a good fit for dogs with known sensitivities to these meats.
- Protein at 26% is adequate for most dogs but lower than some other all-life-stages foods that are more protein-focused.

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.
02
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
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.
04
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.
05
Yeast
Yeast (such as brewer’s, nutritional yeast, or yeast extracts) is used in pet foods as a palatability enhancer, a supplemental protein and B‑vitamin source, and for functional components like beta‑glucans and mannans that can support immune and gut health. It can help with appetite, skin/coat quality and digestion, but some pets may be allergic, product strains and processing vary in quality, and higher purine or added-salt levels in certain yeast products can be a concern for animals with specific medical or dietary restrictions.
