Key points

Protein source

Stable pick

Fresh meat plus named dry animal protein

Top 3: Chicken, Chicken Meal, Chicken Broth

Named dry animal protein helps support the moisture variable in fresh meat.

Same-species support is cleaner, but the core point is clear animal sourcing.

This food offers a stable basic protein structure.

The first and second ingredients are both animal-based, so baseline protein quality stays stable. The third ingredient is Chicken Broth.

Nutritional strengths

  • The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat.
  • Crude protein does not drop into a clearly low band.
  • Calorie density is on the lower side.
  • Top ingredients do not show a prominent FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile.

What still needs work

  • Phosphorus is 1% 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.
  • The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat, but the top profile turns to Chicken Broth by the third slot instead of staying fully animal-led.
  • Public data is usable, but not at the highest-trust tier.

Ingredient Analysis Comments

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