Verified Jun 16, 2026

Dog · Dry Adult Large

This is a dry kibble formulated for adult large-breed dogs, using bison and ocean fish meal as the primary animal protein sources. It combines grains like oatmeal, brown rice, and barley with peas and chickpeas, and includes added plasma ingredients aimed at supporting protein and amino acid intake. The recipe also features salmon oil, flaxseed, fruits, vegetables, and a probiotic to support overall digestion and immune function.

KibbleLab Score
8.2 out of 10

Overall, this is a well-rounded dry food for adult large-breed dogs that provides moderate protein and fat levels, which can be appropriate for many big dogs who do not need a very high-calorie diet. It uses named animal proteins, includes omega-3 sources and a probiotic, and offers a variety of whole grains and vegetables. This could suit large adults with normal activity who do well on a mixed grain/legume formula and don’t have issues with bison, fish, egg, or chicken fat.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Uses named animal protein sources (bison, ocean fish meal, eggs, chicken fat, salmon oil) to supply essential amino acids and fatty acids.
  • Moderate protein (22%) and fat (9%) levels can be appropriate for many large-breed adults, helping avoid excess calories while still meeting needs.
  • Includes beneficial extras like ground flaxseed and salmon oil for omega fatty acids, plus a probiotic (Bacillus coagulans) and chicory root to support gut health.
  • Contains a mix of carbohydrates from oatmeal, brown rice, barley, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and vegetables, providing fiber and a range of nutrients.

Considerations

  • Contains peas and chickpeas among the top ingredients; in grain-free diets these have been linked to heart issues in some dogs, and while this is not grain-free, owners of breeds prone to heart disease may still want to discuss it with their vet.
  • Includes several potential allergens such as egg, chicken fat, fish, and bison, so it would not be appropriate for dogs with known sensitivities to these proteins.
  • Calorie density is fairly high at about 350 kcal per cup, so portion control is important for large-breed dogs prone to weight gain.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Bison
Bison is used as a high-quality animal protein in dog and cat foods, commonly included in limited-ingredient or novel-protein formulas for pets with food sensitivities. It supplies essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins and is typically leaner than beef—making it a lower-fat option that may require added fat or formulation adjustments for energy needs; as with all meats it should be part of a complete, balanced diet (especially for cats who need adequate taurine), be sourced and processed safely, and may still cause allergic reactions in some individual pets.
02
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.
03
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber (notably beta‑glucans), serving as a gentle filler or binder that can support healthy digestion and steady energy release. It provides B vitamins and minerals, is generally well tolerated by dogs and many cats when cooked and plain, but should be free of added sugars or flavorings and used cautiously for overweight or diabetic pets or animals with individual grain sensitivities.
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
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.
