Organix is a line of seven kibbles built around organic chicken. Every recipe lists organic chicken and organic chicken meal as its first two ingredients. Four recipes are grain free and use organic sweet potatoes, potatoes, chickpeas and peas. The other three are made with organic oatmeal, barley and brown rice.
The figures sit in a tight band. Protein runs from 25% to 26% as fed, fat from 13% to 16%, and estimated starch from 36% to 40.5%. Calories range from 362 to 408 kcal per cup. The catalog average for kibble is 26.9% protein, 37.4% starch and 395 kcal per cup. Against that, the line average of 25.9% protein sits a little below and its 38.3% starch average a little above.
The trade-off is variety. Chicken is the only meat in every recipe, and egg appears only in the Organic Puppy Recipe with Healthy Grains, so the line offers little protein rotation. Every recipe contains peas or lentils and potato, including the grain-inclusive ones. All seven recipes are listed as discontinued.
