Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Animal proteins from wild boar, turkey, pork liver, and duck provide a rich and varied amino acid profile.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, including large-breed puppies.
  • Includes taurine plus prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, and chelated minerals to support digestion and overall health.
  • Wet pâté texture with high moisture can help with hydration and may be easier to eat for many dogs.

Considerations

  • This is a grain-free diet that uses chickpea flour as a legume ingredient, so grain-free and legume content should be discussed with your vet, especially for breeds prone to heart disease.
  • Multiple protein sources mean it may not be ideal for dogs needing a strict limited-ingredient or single-protein diet.
  • Fat level is moderate for a wet food; dogs with a history of pancreatitis or needing a low-fat diet may require a different formula.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Wild Boar
Wild boar is a game meat used as a novel animal-protein source in dog and cat diets, providing high-quality protein, essential amino acids and often higher levels of iron and B vitamins that support muscle maintenance and overall health. It can be helpful for pets with sensitivities to common proteins but may have variable fat content and a strong flavor, and should be sourced and processed to commercial pet-food standards to minimize risks from pathogens, parasites and inconsistent nutrient profiles.
02
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.
View ingredient
03
Turkey Broth
Turkey broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavoring and moisture enhancer to improve palatability, and in wet formulas it contributes small amounts of protein, amino acids and electrolytes. It can help entice dogs and cats to eat or increase hydration, but caregivers should check sodium levels and avoid broths with onion, garlic, xylitol or other harmful additives, and be mindful if the pet has a poultry allergy.
04
Pork Broth
Pork broth is typically used in pet foods and treats as a flavoring, palatant and moisture enhancer to improve aroma and encourage eating, and may contribute small amounts of protein, fat and minerals depending on preparation. It can help increase palatability and hydration, but owners should watch for high sodium or fat content and added seasonings (e.g., onion, garlic, or other additives) and avoid it for pets on sodium‑ or fat‑restricted diets or with pork sensitivities.
05
Turkey Liver
Turkey liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods as a protein-rich, palatability-enhancing ingredient and a concentrated source of vitamins and minerals—particularly vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12), iron, and copper. It offers nutritional benefits for metabolism and skin/coat health but should be included in moderation within a balanced diet to avoid vitamin A excess and high purine intake, and must be properly handled or cooked to reduce foodborne risks.
