Ingredient #1Top

Turkey

Turkey is a named fresh meat ingredient. The animal source is clearly identified. It reads as an top-tier protein source.

Ingredient #2Upper

duck meal

duck meal is a species-named animal meal ingredient. It is rendered rather than fresh, but the species source is still clearly identified. It reads as an upper-tier protein source.

Ingredient #3Mid

turkey broth

turkey broth is a named animal broth ingredient. It supports palatability and recipe character more than it acts as a core protein source. It reads as an mid-tier protein source.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG

What to consider before feeding

Turkey, duck meal supply animal protein at the start of the ingredient list. potatoes, sweet potatoes supply carbohydrate energy. The recipe combines animal protein sources with carbohydrate sources.

pea protein supplement plant protein further down the list, after the first three ingredients. The crude-protein figure includes both animal and plant contributions. dried tomato pomace supply fiber. For stool or satiety considerations, the disclosed crude-fiber amount adds useful context beyond the ingredient's presence.

Across the registered ingredients, multiple protein sources appear, including turkey, duck, chicken, egg, dairy, pheasant, quail. If a protein must be excluded, any of these sources can change the decision; the first ingredient alone does not make this a single-protein diet.

What works well in this food

  • The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat.
  • Crude protein is on the higher side.
  • Nutrient disclosure is broad enough to compare real numbers directly.

Check before feeding

  • Phosphorus is 1.3% on the label, at or above 1%. Senior dogs or dogs with kidney concerns should have phosphorus restriction reviewed with a veterinarian before using it as a staple food.
  • Processed plant protein appears after the top 3, so some protein support is still built into the label number.
  • Calcium:Phosphorus Ratio (1.04:1, reference 1.1~1.6:1): Within an acceptable range, but not the optimal one.

When this food fits your dog

Among foods made the same way, protein is higher, fat is higher, and calorie density is typical. This combination is worth comparing when protein matters but a higher-calorie food is not the aim. High protein alone does not make it an active-dog-only food; judge weight changes against total daily calories. Fat is higher even though calories are not, so any fat restriction needs a separate assessment.

Consider it first when

  • Public-data-first comparison
  • Baseline shortlist building
  • Conservative first-pass screening

Choose another food first when

  • You want a stronger ingredient-quality story first
  • You need dog-specific fit instead of public-review screening

Plant-protein concentration remains the clearest trade-off here.

Final word

Interpret this for my dog

The food-first public score is only the starting point. Once your dog’s activity, weight goals, life stage, and health status are applied, the recommendation order and interpretation can change.

There is enough here to keep the food in comparison, but not enough to stop comparing yet.
