Ingredient #1Upper
Lamb Meal
Lamb 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.

Editor ingredient insight
Iskhan Variety Lamb starts with lamb meal, then grains, soybean meal, hydrolyzed chicken meal, and chicken fat, so I read it as a lamb-flavored daily food rather than a strict lamb-only diet.
With 30% protein, 16% fat, and 3,900 kcal/kg, It is worth considering for active adult feeding, not for low-fat dieting or prescription-style elimination feeding.

Grains (Corn, Rice)
Grains (Corn, Rice) is a refined carbohydrate source. It usually reads as a starch and energy source rather than a protein driver. It reads as an mid-tier carb source.
Ingredient #3Lowest
Oilseed Meals (Soybean Meal)
Oilseed Meals (Soybean Meal) is a processed plant-protein booster. It can lift crude protein without the same animal-protein share, so the animal-protein read should stay separate. It reads as an bottom-tier plant protein booster.

Even high crude protein can be strongly influenced by processed plant protein.
This is hard to read as meat-protein centered.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG
What to consider before feeding
Lamb Meal supply animal protein at the start of the ingredient list. Grains (Corn, Rice) supply carbohydrate energy. The recipe combines animal protein sources with carbohydrate sources.
Oilseed Meals (Soybean Meal) supplement plant protein within the first three ingredients. The crude-protein figure includes both animal and plant contributions. Chicken Fat add fat and energy; fat content is a separate choice criterion from the protein sources.
Across the registered ingredients, multiple protein sources appear, including lamb, chicken. 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.
- Price per kilogram stays low enough that this can still make sense on a value basis.
- Top ingredients do not show a prominent FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile.
Check before feeding
- Refined carbohydrates lose fiber, vitamins, and minerals during processing, and mainly act as starch and energy sources. Because of that, our engine reads ingredient quality more conservatively than it would with whole grains.
- Processed plant protein sits in the top 3, so the crude-protein number clearly includes protein support beyond meat ingredients.
- Species-named meals supply protein with less moisture. Their position cannot establish a meat-percentage or digestibility advantage over fresh meat because moisture levels differ.
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
- Budget matters
- Baseline nutrition still comes first
- Ingredient quality comes after value
Choose another food first when
- Fresh-meat-first quality matters more
- Ingredient quality matters more than budget
High calorie density remains the clearest trade-off here.
