KibbleLab Score
8.7 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a gently processed, fresh-frozen wet diet designed for adult dogs, especially those where a single, fish-based protein and skin-focused formula is desired. The whitefish, flaxseed, and added marine omega oils provide useful fatty acids that can support skin and coat health. Its moderate calorie density suits many adult dogs, but active or underweight dogs may need higher volumes to meet their energy needs.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Uses wild-caught whitefish as the sole animal protein, which can be helpful if you’re avoiding common proteins like chicken or beef.
  • Legume-free and includes quinoa and sweet potato as digestible carbohydrate sources.
  • Includes multiple omega-3 and omega-6 sources, including marine oils, which can support skin and coat health.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for complete and balanced adult dog maintenance.

Considerations

  • Fish is a common food allergen for some dogs, so this formula would not be suitable if your dog reacts to fish.
  • Protein and fat levels are fairly low on an as-fed basis, so very active dogs may require larger portions to maintain weight.
  • Being a fresh-frozen food, it requires freezer space and careful handling to keep it safe and palatable.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Whitefish
Whitefish (such as pollock, cod, or haddock) is commonly used in pet foods as a lean animal protein source that provides high‑quality essential amino acids, good digestibility, and some omega‑3 fatty acids to support skin, coat and muscle maintenance. While generally palatable and useful for weight‑managed formulas, pet parents should be aware of potential fish allergies and the importance of responsible sourcing and processing to minimize contaminants; cats also require adequate dietary taurine, so whitefish should be part of a complete, balanced diet.
02
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.

03
Quinoa
Quinoa is used in pet foods as a cooked pseudo‑grain providing digestible carbohydrates, fiber and a relatively high‑quality plant protein with a broad amino acid profile. It supplies B vitamins and minerals (e.g., iron, magnesium) and can be a useful energy and fiber source for dogs, but should be cooked and rinsed to remove bitter saponins, offered in moderation due to calorie density and potential digestive upset, and it should not replace essential animal‑derived nutrients (such as taurine) required by cats.
View ingredient
04
Kale
Kale is a cruciferous leafy green used in pet foods as a source of fiber, vitamins (A, C and K), minerals (such as calcium and potassium) and antioxidants, providing low‑calorie bulk and micronutrient support when added in small amounts. Because kale contains goitrogens, oxalates and other compounds that can cause gastrointestinal upset or, if fed excessively, interfere with thyroid function or contribute to urinary/kidney issues (and rarely hemolytic problems), it should be offered sparingly, prepared plain (cooked or finely chopped) and never seasoned with toxic ingredients like onion or garlic.
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.
