Grain Free Salmon & Garbanzo Bean Dry Dog Food
Verified Jun 10, 2026
This is a grain-free dry dog food for all life stages that uses salmon and salmon meal as its main protein sources, with garbanzo beans, peas, and lentils providing most of the carbohydrates and fiber. It includes added omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, probiotics, and prebiotic fiber from chicory root to support digestion and skin and coat health. The formula is AAFCO-formulated for all life stages, so it can be used for both puppies and adult dogs as long as it suits their individual needs.
Nutritionally, this is a solid, mid- to higher-range grain-free dry food built around fish protein and legume-based carbohydrates. It provides appropriate protein and fat levels for most healthy puppies and adults, along with added omega fatty acids and probiotic cultures. The heavy reliance on peas, lentils, and garbanzo beans in a grain-free formula does raise the same heart-health questions seen with many similar diets, so I’d be a bit more cautious in breeds already prone to heart disease.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Salmon and salmon meal provide well-defined animal protein sources for good amino acid quality.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, so it can be used for both puppies and adults when fed correctly.
- Includes added omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which can support healthy skin and coat.
- Contains chicory root, probiotics, and yucca, which may help support digestive comfort and stool quality.
Considerations
- Grain-free formula that relies heavily on garbanzo beans, peas, lentils, and pea flour, which have been linked to heart concerns in some dogs when used as main carbs.
- Fish is a common food allergen for some dogs, so this may not suit dogs with known fish sensitivities.
- Protein level is moderate rather than high for an all-life-stages food, which may not suit very active or working dogs without portion adjustment.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.

03
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.
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
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.
