Strengths
- Beef and beef organs are the main ingredients, providing highly bioavailable protein and natural sources of vitamins and minerals.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, so it can be fed to puppies, adults, and seniors when used as directed.
- Freeze-dried processing helps preserve nutrients and offers raw-style nutrition with more convenience and safety than typical raw handling.
- Includes salmon oil, kelp, and organic vegetables and fruits, which add omega fats, fiber, and antioxidant-rich ingredients.
Considerations
- The fat level is quite high at 38% minimum, so it may not be ideal for dogs needing lower-fat diets, such as some with pancreatitis histories.
- Calorie density is very high, so portions need to be carefully measured to avoid unwanted weight gain, especially in small or less active dogs.
- Beef is a common protein allergen for some dogs, so this formula would not suit dogs with known beef sensitivities.

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.

02
Beef Heart
Beef heart is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a high-quality animal protein and flavor enhancer, providing essential amino acids, taurine (especially important for cats and supportive of cardiac health in both species), B vitamins (including B12), iron, zinc and coenzyme Q10. It is a beneficial addition when part of a balanced diet but should not be the sole protein source—pets with beef allergies should avoid it, and processed or raw beef heart requires proper formulation and handling to ensure mineral balance and food-safety (e.g., control of sodium and pathogens).
03
Beef Liver
Beef liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable, protein-rich, nutrient-dense ingredient that provides concentrated, bioavailable vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), heme iron, copper, and essential amino acids. While it supports blood health and overall nutrition, beef liver should be fed in moderation because excess vitamin A can cause toxicity, its richness may upset sensitive stomachs or contribute to pancreatitis in predisposed pets, and proper sourcing/processing is important to minimize contaminant or bacterial risks.
04
Beef Kidney
Beef kidney is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods as a high-quality protein and nutrient-dense inclusion that contributes B vitamins (notably B12 and riboflavin), iron, copper, selenium and attractive flavor for palatability. It can be a beneficial addition for both dogs and cats but should be included in moderation because organ meats are relatively high in minerals and purines and may need restriction for animals with kidney or urate-related conditions, and raw or improperly handled kidney can pose food-safety risks.
05
Butternut Squash
Butternut squash is a cooked vegetable ingredient used in pet foods as a source of soluble and insoluble fiber, complex carbohydrates, and antioxidants (notably beta‑carotene/vitamin A), often included to aid digestion, add moisture, and support healthy weight management. It can benefit dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats by supplying fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, but should be cooked and seedless for digestibility, used sparingly in diabetic animals due to carbohydrate content, and treated as a complement to—not a replacement for—animal-based protein.
