Solid Option
This is a nutrient-dense, grain-free dry food formulated specifically for toy and small dogs, with a strong emphasis on high-quality animal protein and digestive support. Chicken, chicken meal, eggs, and fish meal provide a robust amino acid profile, and added omega fats, fruits, vegetables, and probiotics are nice extras for overall health. Because it relies heavily on peas, pea protein, and chickpeas for carbohydrates, it falls into the group of grain-free, legume-rich diets where we do consider the current DCM research when feeding long term.

Strengths
- Chicken and chicken meal are the primary ingredients, giving a solid animal-protein base at 32% minimum protein.
- Includes eggs, ocean fish meal, salmon oil, and flaxseed, which help provide a good range of amino acids and omega fatty acids.
- Contains pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots, blueberries, and cranberries, adding fiber and natural antioxidants.
- Includes dried chicory root and a Bacillus coagulans probiotic, which can support healthy digestion in small dogs.
Considerations
- This is a grain-free formula that relies on chickpeas, peas, and pea protein; such legume-heavy diets have been linked to heart issues (DCM) in some dogs.
- Multiple chicken ingredients and egg mean it is not a good fit for dogs with chicken or egg allergies.
- At 438 kcal per cup, it is quite calorie-dense, so portion control is important for small dogs to avoid weight gain.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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
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
Pea Protein
Pea protein is a concentrated plant-based protein and functional ingredient in pet foods used to raise protein levels, improve texture and contribute soluble fiber, vitamins and minerals. It can be a useful, digestible protein source for dogs and a supplemental protein in some cat formulas, but because it is lower in certain essential amino acids (and cats are obligate carnivores), diets relying heavily on pea protein should be formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles and owners should note potential legume sensitivities and the debated link between high‑pulse, grain‑free diets and canine heart concerns.
