THE LINES

Artemis Lines, Reviewed

2 lines

Artemis sorts its food into two lines. Fresh Mix is three grain-inclusive kibbles, and every recipe combines chicken, turkey, duck and fish, with egg in two of them. Osopure is grain-free, with three kibbles and five wet foods, and every recipe contains peas or lentils. Fresh Mix covers all life stages and includes a senior recipe, while Osopure is for adult dogs.

The kibbles in both lines read close on the label, as fed. Fresh Mix averages 23.7% protein, 43% estimated starch and 330 kcal per cup. Osopure kibble averages 24% protein, 40.5% starch and 334 kcal. Both sit below the catalog kibble averages of 26.9% protein and 395 kcal, and above its 37.4% starch. Osopure wet foods average 8% protein, near the 8.3% wet average, and all five include egg.
