Performance notes
The ingredient list here leans on whole foods, including apple, carrot, chia seed, egg, flaxseed, kale, kelp, pumpkin, and spinach, alongside a high protein, no added sugar profile aimed at supporting digestion, immune health, and skin and coat condition. Because it's formulated for all life stages except large breed puppy growth, it can work as a single bag for most households, aside from those raising a large breed dog from puppyhood.
What buyers say
With 682 reviews and a 4.7 star average, plus around 1,000 bought in the past month, this formula has a smaller footprint than the mainstream brands in this category but a consistently positive reception among the owners who've tried it.
No. It's formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages except growth of large size dogs, meaning dogs expected to weigh 70 lb or more as adults, so those puppies need a growth-specific large breed formula instead.
Is this a limited ingredient formula?
Yes, it's labeled as a limited ingredient diet, and the ingredient list centers on whole foods like chia seed, kale, and pumpkin alongside the core protein.
Why is this priced higher than many other dry dog foods?
At about $96 for a 22.5 lb bag, it reflects a premium positioning built around whole food ingredients and a high protein, no added sugar formula rather than a budget recipe.
