This is a high-protein dry puppy food designed for growing dogs, including large breeds, with sensitive skin or stomachs. It uses lamb as the primary animal protein along with oatmeal, rice, and barley as gentle carbohydrate sources, and includes fish-based DHA and omega fatty acids to support brain development, skin, and coat. The formula is complete and balanced for all life stages and has undergone AAFCO feeding trials, which helps confirm its nutritional adequacy and digestibility.

Top Pick
Nutritionally, this is a very strong choice for puppies, including large-breed pups, who need a diet that is easier on the stomach while still supporting healthy growth. The protein and fat levels are appropriate for growing dogs, and the mineral balance has been validated for all life stages with large-breed growth through AAFCO feeding trials. It also brings in several nice extras like prebiotic fiber and multiple omega sources to support digestion, skin, coat, and early brain development.

Strengths
- Lamb is the first ingredient, supported by fish meal, salmon meal, and egg product, providing high-quality, varied animal protein sources for growth.
- Formulated and verified via AAFCO feeding trials for all life stages, including large-breed growth, which is a high standard of nutritional proof.
- Gentle carbohydrate blend (oatmeal, rice, barley) plus chicory root prebiotic to help support digestive health in sensitive puppies.
- Includes DHA from fish oil and a good omega-6/omega-3 profile to support brain development, skin, and coat health.
Considerations
- Contains multiple animal proteins (lamb, fish, beef fat, salmon, egg), so it may not be ideal if you’re trying to do a strict limited-ingredient or single-protein trial for suspected food allergies.
- Pea protein appears in the ingredient list; while it is not a main ingredient here, owners specifically avoiding legumes or pea-derived ingredients should be aware of its presence.
- Calorie density is fairly high at 490 kcal per cup, so careful portion control is important, especially for large-breed puppies, to avoid excessive growth and weight gain.

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
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber (notably beta‑glucans), serving as a gentle filler or binder that can support healthy digestion and steady energy release. It provides B vitamins and minerals, is generally well tolerated by dogs and many cats when cooked and plain, but should be free of added sugars or flavorings and used cautiously for overweight or diabetic pets or animals with individual grain sensitivities.
03
Rice
Rice is a common carbohydrate source and binder in dog and cat foods, supplying readily digestible energy and often used in formulations for sensitive stomachs or hypoallergenic diets. White rice is gentle and easy to digest while brown rice provides more fiber and micronutrients, but rice is low in essential amino acids, has a relatively high glycemic index, and can accumulate trace arsenic, so it should not be relied on as a primary protein and portions should be considered for diabetic or weight‑management pets.

04
Fish
Fish is commonly used in pet foods as a highly digestible animal protein and an excellent source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that support skin and coat health, joint function, and cognitive development in both dogs and cats. It also supplies B vitamins and minerals but can be a common allergen, may contain environmental contaminants or mercury depending on species and sourcing, and raw fish can contain thiaminase—so choose properly processed, nutritionally balanced, and sustainably sourced fish ingredients.
05
Canola
Canola is commonly used in pet foods primarily as a calorie-dense fat source (canola oil) and, less often, as a meal to add plant protein and fiber; its oil supplies monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids including alpha‑linolenic acid (an omega‑3) and linoleic acid (an omega‑6), which help support energy, skin and coat condition in dogs and to a lesser extent in cats. Modern canola is low in erucic acid and generally safe, but canola meal has lower biological protein quality than animal proteins and may not meet obligate feline amino acid needs, the oil is prone to oxidation so antioxidants and proper storage are important, and a small number of pets can have sensitivities.
