Strong Choice
Nutrientboost Mighty Mini Lamb is a nutrient-dense, grain-free kibble tailored to the higher energy needs and small kibble size required by toy and small-breed dogs. It offers a strong protein level from lamb, fish, and egg, plus added omega fatty acids and probiotics for overall wellness. This formula can work well for healthy small dogs, but the legume-heavy, grain-free base means it may not be the best choice for breeds where diet-associated heart disease is a concern.

Strengths
- Protein is relatively high at 32%, coming from lamb, lamb meal, fish meal, and dried egg for a good amino acid profile.
- Fat level at 17% is appropriate for most active small and toy breeds and supports healthy skin and coat.
- Includes salmon oil, flaxseed, and chicken fat to provide omega fatty acids that can benefit skin, coat, and overall health.
- Contains prebiotic fiber sources and a Bacillus coagulans probiotic, which may help support digestive health in sensitive dogs.
Considerations
- The food is grain-free and relies heavily on peas, chickpeas, and pea protein, which have been linked to diet-associated heart issues in some dogs.
- Contains chicken fat and dried eggs, so it is not suitable for dogs with chicken or egg allergies.
- Multiple protein sources are used, which is a plus for nutrition but less ideal as a first choice for strict elimination diets.
- Fish meal is included, so dogs with fish allergies would need a different option.

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.

03
Ocean Fish
Ocean fish is commonly used in pet food as a high-quality animal protein and flavor ingredient and is valued for providing omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) plus minerals like iodine and selenium that support skin and coat, joint, heart, and cognitive health in dogs and cats. While it offers important nutritional benefits, fish can be an allergen for some pets and may carry environmental contaminants (mercury, PCBs) depending on source, so responsible sourcing, proper processing, and variety in protein choices are recommended.
04
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.

05
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.
