Legacy Farm Country Blend Dry Dog Food
Verified Jun 7, 2026
This is a high-protein, grain-free dry food for dogs of most life stages, built around chicken, turkey, and salmon meals as the main animal protein sources. Peas, lentils, and chickpeas provide the starch and fiber, while added salmon oil, flaxseed, fruits, vegetables, and probiotics support skin, coat, and digestive health. It’s formulated for all life stages except large-breed puppy growth, with added taurine and a fairly low glycemic design.
Nutritionally, this is a high-protein, moderately high-fat grain-free kibble that should suit many active dogs and is formulated for all life stages except large-breed growth. It offers multiple animal protein sources, a solid omega-3 level, added taurine, and a comprehensive probiotic blend, which together support good overall nutrition. Because peas, lentils, and chickpeas are prominent ingredients, it’s one I’d use more cautiously in breeds with known heart concerns or where your vet has advised avoiding legume-heavy, grain-free diets.

What "not formulated for" means
Life stages this food isn't certified complete and balanced for, based on its AAFCO statement.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- High protein level (34% as-fed) from multiple animal sources including chicken, turkey, salmon meal, and egg, which supports good muscle maintenance and growth in most dogs.
- Balanced fat level (15% as-fed) with flaxseed and salmon oil providing omega-3s; omega-3 and omega-6 levels are clearly stated, which is a plus for skin, coat, and general health.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO standards for all life stages (except growth of large-breed dogs), with an appropriate calcium-to-phosphorus ratio around 1.2:1.
- Includes added taurine (0.2% min) and a mix of probiotic cultures plus prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides), which can support heart and digestive health in many dogs.
Considerations
- This is a grain-free formula that relies heavily on peas, pea flour, lentils, and chickpeas as main carbohydrates; legume-heavy, grain-free diets have been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in some dogs, so discuss with your vet if you have a breed at higher risk for heart disease.
- Contains several common protein allergens (chicken, turkey, salmon/fish, egg), so it’s not a good fit for dogs with known sensitivities to these ingredients.
- Not appropriate for large-breed puppies (expected adult weight 70 lb or more), due to calcium and energy levels that may not match large-breed growth needs.

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.

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.
03
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.
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
Pea Flour
Pea flour is a finely milled powder from whole peas used in pet foods as a plant-based source of protein, starch and fiber to add bulk, improve texture and boost overall protein content. It provides digestible protein, fiber and some micronutrients, but plant proteins are lower in certain essential amino acids (important for cats in particular) and high inclusion of legumes can create formulation imbalances, so manufacturers typically supplement limiting amino acids and process pea flour to reduce anti-nutritional factors; pet owners should note rare allergies and rely on complete, balanced diets rather than single-ingredient comparisons.
