Air Dried Powerfood Skin & Coat Health Lamb & Fish Recipe Dry Dog Food
Verified Jun 17, 2026
An air-dried, high-protein dry dog food featuring lamb, ocean whitefish, and organ meats as primary protein sources. It’s formulated for all life stages (except large-breed puppy growth) and includes flaxseed and added vitamin E to support skin and coat, with a calorie-dense profile that can be fed as a complete meal, topper, or high-value training treat. The air-drying process creates a crunchy texture while maintaining a richer nutrient density than typical kibble.
This is a nutrient-dense, meat-forward air-dried diet that should suit many active dogs who do well on higher protein and fat levels. The lamb, fish, and organ meats provide highly bioavailable protein and natural micronutrients, and the formula is designed to support skin and coat health with omega-rich ingredients and vitamin E. Because it’s very calorie-dense, portions need to be measured carefully, and it’s not appropriate as the sole diet for large-breed puppies in their rapid growth phase.

At a Glance
What "not formulated for" means
Life stages this food isn't certified complete and balanced for, based on its AAFCO statement.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- High protein (30%) and high fat (27%) from lamb, ocean whitefish, and lamb organ meats, offering highly digestible animal protein and energy.
- Air-dried format provides a concentrated, minimally processed dry food that can be used as a complete diet, topper, or training reward.
- Formulated to be complete and balanced for all life stages except large-breed puppy growth, meeting AAFCO nutrient profiles.
- Includes flaxseed and added vitamin E, which can help support skin and coat health through omega fatty acids and antioxidant support.
Considerations
- Very calorie-dense at 316 kcal per cup, so overfeeding is easy; careful portion control is important, especially for less active or smaller dogs.
- Not suitable as a complete diet for large-breed puppies expected to be over 70 lb as adults; those dogs need a formula specifically designed for large-breed growth.
- Relatively high fat level may not be ideal for dogs with a history of pancreatitis or those who require lower-fat diets.
- Contains lamb and fish, which are common protein allergens for some dogs; not a good choice for pets already known to react to these proteins.

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
Ocean White Fish
Ocean white fish is a lean, highly digestible animal protein commonly used in dog and cat foods to provide essential amino acids, improve palatability, and contribute some omega‑3 fatty acids and B vitamins. It can be a good low‑fat option for weight- or renal‑management diets, but may be an allergen for some pets and can carry environmental contaminants (e.g., mercury) depending on species and sourcing, so quality and source transparency are important.
03
Lamb Liver
Lamb liver is an organ meat used as a nutrient-dense protein and flavor enhancer in pet foods and treats, supplying concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), iron, copper and high-quality amino acids important for both dogs and cats. It is highly palatable and can help prevent nutrient deficiencies, but should be fed in moderation because excessive liver intake can lead to vitamin A toxicity and digestive upset, and proper sourcing/handling is important to avoid foodborne pathogens.
04
Lamb Lung
Lamb lung is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a lean, highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, supplying readily digestible protein along with B vitamins, iron and other minerals that benefit both dogs and cats. It is typically safe and low in fat when properly sourced and processed (cooked or dehydrated) to eliminate pathogens, but it is not especially rich in taurine so should not be the sole ingredient in a cat’s diet; pet owners should also monitor for individual allergies and buy from reputable suppliers to reduce contamination risk.
05
Miscanthus Grass
Miscanthus grass is a processed perennial grass used in pet foods primarily as an insoluble dietary fiber and bulking agent to improve stool quality, support intestinal motility, and help reduce caloric density for weight management. It supplies little digestible protein or energy, tends to be more useful for dogs than obligate‑carnivore cats, and should be used in balanced formulations to avoid excessive fiber that could dilute nutrients or affect digestibility; sourcing and contaminant testing are also important considerations.
