Strong Choice
This diet offers a solid, animal‑protein–based formula with beef, chicken meal, and turkey meal high on the ingredient list, and a reasonable balance of carbohydrates from brown rice and peas. The protein, fat, and calcium levels are appropriate for most adult dogs and are within the typical range for many puppies as well. It can be a good everyday food for healthy dogs, provided they don’t have sensitivities to common proteins like beef or chicken.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Beef, chicken meal, and turkey meal provide multiple named animal protein sources, supporting a good amino acid profile.
- Moderate protein (26%) and fat (14%) levels are suitable for many active adult dogs and align with typical all‑life‑stage style formulations.
- Includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from fish oil, flaxseed, and sunflower oil, which can support skin and coat health.
- Fortified with taurine, vitamins, and minerals, including zinc and vitamins A, E, and C, to help meet daily micronutrient needs.
Considerations
- Contains several common allergens (beef, chicken, turkey, fish), so it is not a good fit for dogs with known food allergies to these proteins.
- Legumes and pea protein appear fairly high in the ingredient list, which means a notable portion of the protein may be coming from plant sources rather than entirely from meat.
- Brown sugar is included, which is not necessary nutritionally and adds simple carbohydrate without added health benefit for dogs.

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
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
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.
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
Brewer's Rice
Brewer’s rice is a milling byproduct of rice processing made up of small broken white rice kernels commonly used in pet foods as a highly digestible carbohydrate source, filler and binder that provides readily available energy for dogs and cats while contributing little protein, fat or fiber. It is generally gentle on the stomach and cost‑effective, but diets using it must supply other ingredients for essential nutrients; pet owners should note its relatively high glycemic load (relevant for weight or diabetic pets), the potential for trace environmental contaminants associated with rice, and not confuse it with brewer’s yeast.
