KibbleLab Score
8.5 out of 10

Strong Choice

This lamb-based raw-coated kibble offers a relatively high protein and moderate fat profile with added joint, heart, and digestive support nutrients. It’s formulated for both puppies and adult dogs, so it can work as an all-ages option if you prefer a single food. The inclusion of lamb organs, fish meal, and omega-rich oils gives it a nutrient-dense animal-protein base, though the legume-heavy carb sources warrant some extra consideration for certain dogs.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Lamb and lamb meal lead the ingredient list, providing solid animal protein and amino acids for growth and maintenance.
  • Includes lamb organs and salmon meal, which add extra protein, vitamins, minerals, and natural taurine.
  • Added taurine, omega-3 and omega-6 fats, and probiotics support heart, skin, coat, and digestive health.
  • Glucosamine and chondroitin are included at meaningful levels, which can help support joint health over time.

Considerations

  • Lentils and peas are high in the ingredient list, making this a legume-heavy, grain-free formula linked in some studies to heart issues in certain dogs.
  • Dogs with known sensitivities to lamb, beef, pork, peas, or lentils should avoid this recipe.
  • At 438 kcal per cup, this food is fairly calorie-dense, so portion control is important, especially for less active dogs.

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
Lentil
Lentils are a plant-based source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber and micronutrients (notably folate and iron) commonly used in pet foods to add bulk, promote satiety and help moderate post-meal blood sugar. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs when properly processed and balanced with animal-derived amino acids, but lentil protein is less digestible and incomplete for obligate carnivores like cats; high legume inclusion can also increase gas or digestive upset and has been discussed in the context of diet-associated heart concerns in dogs, so lentils should be used in nutritionally complete, vetted formulations.
View ingredient
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.
View ingredient
05
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source to increase energy density, palatability and supply linoleic acid (an essential omega‑6) that helps maintain healthy skin and coat. It is beneficial for dogs and cats but is high in omega‑6 and low in omega‑3—so formulas should balance fatty acids to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; it is calorie‑dense (important for weight control and pancreatitis-prone animals) and may require antioxidants or high‑oleic formulations for better shelf stability.
