Taste of the Wild PREY Angus Beef Limited Ingredient
Editor ingredient insight
Taste of the Wild PREY Angus Beef starts with beef, lentils, tomato pomace, and chicken fat, with taurine and L-carnitine disclosed.
It is worth considering for beef-led limited-style feeding, not for lentil or chicken-fat avoidance.

Lentils
Lentils is a whole plant-protein ingredient. It is not a processed protein concentrate, but when it appears near the top it can still weaken the animal-protein-led structure. It reads as an lower-tier plant protein booster.
Ingredient #3Mid
Dried Tomato Pomace
Dried Tomato Pomace reads as a fiber-support ingredient. It contributes texture and fiber support more than core protein value. It reads as an mid-tier carb source.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG
What to consider before feeding
Beef supply animal protein at the start of the ingredient list. Lentils contribute plant protein alongside carbohydrates and fiber among the leading ingredients. 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.
What works well in this food
- The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat.
- Crude protein does not drop into a clearly low band.
- Nutrient disclosure is broad enough to compare real numbers directly.
Check before feeding
- Fresh meat carries a moisture variable. When whole plant protein sources are also high in the list, part of the crude-protein number may come from those plant ingredients.
- 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 typical, fat is typical, and calorie density is typical. Calorie density alone does not separate this into an active-dog or weight-management food. Consider protein exclusions and fat, then set portions for the dog’s weight and activity.
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.
