Verified Aug 21, 2026

This is a baked dry food for adult dogs that uses deboned chicken, chicken meal, and whitefish as its main protein sources, giving it a solid 30% protein and 15% fat. It includes ancient grains like millet, brown rice, barley, and oats for steady energy, plus added omega-3 and omega-6 fats to support skin, coat, and joint health. The recipe also features prebiotic fiber from chicory root and miscanthus grass to help support healthy digestion.

KibbleLab Score
8.8 out of 10

Strong Choice

Nutritionally, this is a high-quality adult maintenance kibble with a nice balance of animal protein, whole grains, and supportive extras like omega fatty acids and prebiotic fiber. The protein and fat levels are very appropriate for most adult dogs, and the use of multiple animal protein sources helps provide a complete amino acid profile. It’s a good fit for healthy adult dogs who do well on grain-inclusive diets and don’t have chicken or fish allergies.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • High protein (30%) from named animal sources such as deboned chicken, chicken meal, and whitefish, which supports lean muscle maintenance in adult dogs.
  • Grain-inclusive formula using millet, brown rice, barley, and oats to provide complex carbohydrates and steady energy rather than relying on potatoes or peas as primary carbs.
  • Contains omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids from chicken fat, flaxseed, menhaden fish oil, and whitefish, which can support skin, coat, and joint health.
  • Includes prebiotic fiber sources (dried chicory root and miscanthus grass) that can help support a healthy gut microbiome and regular digestion.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken and fish, which are common allergens for some dogs; not ideal if your dog has known sensitivities to these proteins.
  • This diet is formulated for adult maintenance only and is not appropriate as the sole food for puppies, pregnant, or lactating dogs, who have higher and different nutrient requirements.
  • At 430 kcal per cup, it is relatively calorie-dense, so portion control is important for dogs prone to weight gain or those with lower activity levels.

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.

03
Millet
Millet is a small, gluten-free cereal grain used in pet foods primarily as a carbohydrate and fiber source that also contributes modest amounts of protein, B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and may be used in some cat recipes, but because cats are obligate carnivores and millet is relatively high in carbohydrates and contains phytic acid (an anti‑nutrient), it is usually cooked/processed for better digestibility and should be part of a formula that meets species‑specific protein and taurine needs; pets with specific grain sensitivities may still react, so consult your veterinarian if concerned.

04
Whitefish
Whitefish (such as pollock, cod, or haddock) is commonly used in pet foods as a lean animal protein source that provides high‑quality essential amino acids, good digestibility, and some omega‑3 fatty acids to support skin, coat and muscle maintenance. While generally palatable and useful for weight‑managed formulas, pet parents should be aware of potential fish allergies and the importance of responsible sourcing and processing to minimize contaminants; cats also require adequate dietary taurine, so whitefish should be part of a complete, balanced diet.
05
Brown Rice
Brown rice is a whole-grain carbohydrate and fiber ingredient commonly used in dog and cat foods to provide digestible energy, dietary fiber, and modest amounts of B‑vitamins and minerals; it typically offers more nutrients and fiber than white rice. It’s generally well tolerated and can help with sensitive stomachs, but because it is high in carbohydrates (not a primary protein source) and can contain trace inorganic arsenic depending on sourcing, it should be included in balanced formulations and monitored in overweight or diabetic pets.
