Verified Aug 30, 2026

Dog · Dry All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a grain-free dry dog food for all life stages, including large-breed puppies, with deboned chicken and chicken meal as the main protein sources. Sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans, and peas provide carbohydrates and fiber, while added fish oil, flaxseed, and the omega blend support skin and coat. It also includes probiotics and added glucosamine and chondroitin, which can be helpful for active or working dogs that need joint and digestive support.

KibbleLab Score
8.2 out of 10

Strong Choice

Nutritionally, this is a solid, mid-to-high protein grain-free kibble that’s complete and balanced for all life stages, including large-breed growth. It uses named meat meals, added taurine, omega-3 and -6 fats, and joint-supporting nutrients, which is a nice combination for active dogs. The main caution is the reliance on peas and garbanzo beans in a grain-free formula, which some cardiology research has linked to heart issues in certain dogs.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken and chicken meal provide clear, animal-based protein sources as the foundation of the diet.
  • Complete and balanced for all life stages, including large-breed puppies, which is a stricter standard.
  • Includes added taurine, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and probiotics to support heart, skin, and digestive health.
  • Contains glucosamine and chondroitin sources, which can help support joint nutrition, especially in large or active dogs.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken and turkey, so it is not a good choice for dogs with poultry allergies.
  • As a grain-free food relying on peas and garbanzo beans, it may not be ideal for breeds with known heart concerns related to grain-free diets.
  • Fiber is on the higher side for a kibble, which may cause softer stools in some dogs, especially during transition.

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
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.
View ingredient
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.
View ingredient
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.
