Ingredient concerns

• Pea Protein (medium concern): Plant-based protein concentrates like pea protein can artificially inflate the total protein percentage on guaranteed analysis without providing the same amino acid profile as animal proteins. Associated with the FDA investigation into grain-free diets and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs, though a causal link has not been definitively established.

Guaranteed analysis (dry-matter basis)

On a dry-matter basis (water removed for a fair wet-vs-dry comparison): protein 27.8%, fat 14.4%, fiber 0%, ash 7.8%, carbohydrate 50%. By calories: 24.7% from protein, 31% from fat, 44.3% from carbohydrate.

AAFCO compliance

This food meets the AAFCO growth dog nutrient minimums we can verify — protein 27.8% vs 22.5% minimum, fat 14.4% vs 8.5% minimum.

Dry food, with grains, for the puppy life stage.
