Verified Jul 25, 2026

Dog · Dry Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a whole-grain dry dog food for adult dogs that leads with multiple meat ingredients, including beef and lamb, as its main protein sources. It uses oats, barley, sorghum, millet, and brown rice for carbohydrates and fiber, and adds pumpkin, prebiotics, and probiotics to support digestion. Omega fatty acids from flaxseed, sunflower oil, and salmon oil help provide skin and coat support, with added taurine and L-carnitine for overall wellness.

Strong Choice

Overall, this is a high-quality, meat-forward adult maintenance kibble that should suit many healthy adult dogs. The protein comes from a variety of animal sources, and the recipe includes several thoughtful additions like omega fatty acids, probiotics, and added taurine. It’s best for dogs who do well on moderate protein and fat with a mix of animal proteins and traditional grains.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Multiple animal proteins in the first ingredients provide good-quality, varied protein sources.
  • Includes a range of whole grains like oats, barley, and brown rice for steady energy and fiber.
  • Added omega-3 and omega-6 sources, including salmon oil and flaxseed, support skin and coat health.
  • Contains prebiotics, probiotics, pumpkin, and yeast culture to help support healthy digestion.

Considerations

  • Contains beef, lamb, pork, and fish, so it is not ideal for dogs with multiple protein allergies or sensitivities.
  • Protein at 24% is moderate; very highly active or working dogs may do better on a higher-protein formula.
  • Fiber is relatively high at 7% max, which may be too much bulk for some dogs with sensitive digestion.

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
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.

04
Pork
Pork is used in pet foods primarily as a high-quality animal protein and flavor enhancer, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins (especially B12 and niacin), iron and zinc, plus fat for calorie-dense energy; it can be suitable for both dogs and cats when balanced in a complete diet. Because pork can be relatively high in fat, it may be inappropriate for pets requiring low‑fat diets or those prone to pancreatitis, some animals may have sensitivities to pork, and raw or undercooked pork can carry parasites or pathogens so it should be properly processed or cooked.
