Verified Jun 9, 2026

Dog · Dry All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a turkey-based, limited-ingredient dry kibble designed for dogs of all ages, including those with more sensitive stomachs. It uses turkey meal as a single primary animal protein, with brown rice and oats as digestible carbohydrate sources, and includes added omega fatty acids plus probiotic cultures. The formula also provides supplemental glucosamine and chondroitin, which can help support joint, skin, and coat health as part of a complete diet.

KibbleLab Score
8.2 out of 10

Overall, this is a well-formulated, moderate-protein dry food that should suit many dogs, including those needing a single main animal protein source. The use of turkey meal as the first ingredient, paired with brown rice and oats, offers good digestibility for most dogs. Added omega fatty acids, probiotics, and joint-supporting nutrients make it a solid all-purpose option for active pets and household companions alike.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Turkey meal as the first ingredient provides a concentrated, high-quality animal protein source from a single primary protein, which can be helpful for some dogs with food sensitivities.
  • Carbohydrates from brown rice and oat groats are generally gentle on the stomach and provide steady energy rather than quick spikes.
  • Includes fish oil and an omega blend, which supply omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that support skin, coat, and overall wellness.
  • Contains multiple probiotic fermentation products plus added vitamins and minerals, which can support digestive health and help ensure the diet is nutritionally complete.

Considerations

  • Although this is marketed as limited ingredient, it does contain chicken fat and natural chicken flavor, so it is not suitable for dogs with true chicken allergies.
  • Dried peas appear fairly high on the ingredient list; for dogs of breeds with known heart concerns, it is worth discussing any legume-heavy diet with your veterinarian.
  • The 26% protein and 18% fat are appropriate for many dogs, but very low-activity or overweight-prone dogs may need careful portion control due to the relatively high calorie density at about 394 kcal per cup.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.
02
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.
03
Oat Groat
Oat groats are the whole, minimally processed oat kernels (hull removed) used in pet foods as a source of complex carbohydrates, soluble fiber (including beneficial beta‑glucans), and modest amounts of protein, B vitamins, and minerals. They provide digestible energy and can support gastrointestinal health and weight management when cooked or processed for improved digestibility, but should be used in moderation—especially in cat diets and in pets with grain sensitivities or carbohydrate‑restricted conditions such as diabetes.
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
Chicken Fat
Chicken fat is used in dog and cat foods as a concentrated energy and flavor source that supplies essential fatty acids (notably linoleic acid) and aids absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins, improving palatability and supporting skin and coat health. Because it is calorie‑dense, diets must account for added fat to prevent weight gain, and quality (proper rendering and antioxidant protection to prevent rancidity) is important; although fats are less commonly allergenic than proteins, pets with poultry sensitivities may still react in some cases.
