Editor ingredient insight
A puppy-food option for growing dogs that comfortably eat several meats and fish. Chicken, turkey and salmon meals are joined by trout, duck and egg.
Meal is an animal ingredient with moisture removed; fresh-meat wording alone does not determine quality.
The mixed proteins matter when avoiding a particular source. For a growing large dog, verify the exact pack’s growth and size suitability.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG
What to consider before feeding
chicken meal, turkey meal supply animal protein at the start of the ingredient list. potatoes, tapioca supply carbohydrate energy. The recipe combines animal protein sources with carbohydrate sources.
peas, lentils contribute plant protein alongside carbohydrates and fiber further down the ingredient list. Total crude protein is not a measure of meat-derived protein alone. chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols) add fat and energy; fat content is a separate choice criterion from the protein sources.
Across the registered ingredients, multiple protein sources appear, including chicken, turkey, salmon, trout, duck, egg, herring. 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
- Crude protein is on the higher side.
- Nutrient disclosure is broad enough to compare real numbers directly.
Check before feeding
- Phosphorus is 1.4% 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.
- Whole plant protein sources can contribute to crude protein, so the animal-protein share still needs a closer read.
- Top ingredients include an FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile, so this part deserves a more cautious read.
When this food fits your dog
Among foods made the same way, protein is higher, fat is higher, and calorie density is higher. Compare this combination when both protein and concentrated energy matter. It can help plan smaller portions, but dogs prone to weight gain should not switch gram-for-gram from a less calorie-dense food.
Consider it first when
- Your dog already eats the listed animal and plant ingredients comfortably
- You want animal ingredients first without excluding plant ingredients
Choose another food first when
- You need to exclude a listed ingredient
- You need a verified animal-protein proportion, which ingredient order alone cannot provide
High calorie density remains the clearest trade-off here.
