Sensitivities is the Go! Solutions limited ingredient line, sold for dogs with food sensitivities. Each recipe is built around one main protein source: turkey, duck, salmon, pollock, lamb, venison or black soldier fly larvae in the eight kibbles, and duck or turkey in the two wet recipes. All ten are grain free.
The kibbles run from 22% to 26% protein and from 40% to 46% estimated starch, as fed, with 423 to 451 kcal per cup. Against the catalog kibble averages of 26.9% protein, 37.4% estimated starch and 395 kcal per cup, every kibble here is lower in protein and higher in starch and calories. All eight list peas or lentils, and tapioca appears in the first five ingredients of every recipe. The wet recipes contain 7% and 8.5% protein next to a catalog wet average of 8.3%, with no peas or lentils.
The trade-off is a starch-heavy, calorie-dense kibble line with modest protein, in exchange for a short list of protein sources and less common choices like venison and insect. The wet recipes each add a second animal protein: egg in the duck pâté and pork plasma in the shredded turkey.
