Osopure is built around one named meat at the top of every label, with no grain in any of its eight recipes. The three kibbles are close to identical on paper: 24% protein, 14% fat, 5.5% fiber and 40.5% estimated starch as fed. Each one lists turkey, salmon or duck, then that meat's meal, then garbanzo beans, peas and lentils. Calories run from 328 to 338 kcal per cup, and all three are labeled for adult dogs.
The five wet foods are just as uniform, at 8% protein and 82% moisture, with fat from 4% to 6%. The proteins on offer are lamb, duck, chicken, beef, and turkey with salmon. Every can lists dried egg product, and all but the Chicken Formula use fish broth.
Compared with the catalog, the kibbles show less protein (24% vs 26.9%), more estimated starch (40.5% vs 37.4%) and fewer calories (334 vs 395 kcal on average). The wet foods are close to the 8.3% protein average for wet food. The trade-off is sameness: switching recipes changes the meat but not the numbers, and peas or lentils appear in every recipe.

Full review of Grain Free Turkey & SalmonYes. All three Osopure kibbles and all five wet foods are grain free. Every recipe does contain peas or lentils, and the kibbles also list garbanzo beans.
Within each format, protein doesn't change. All three kibbles, including the Salmon & Garbanzo Bean and the Duck & Garbanzo Beans, show 24% protein, and all five wet foods show 8%. The wet recipes are 82% moisture, so their figures can't be compared directly with the kibbles.
Two of the wet recipes list chicken: the Grain Free Chicken Formula and the Grain Free Duck Formula. The kibbles are made with turkey, salmon or duck, and the Lamb, Beef and Turkey & Salmon wet recipes don't list chicken.
