Superfoods is a kibble-only line of four recipes, all labeled for all life stages and all breed sizes. Fish appears in every recipe and turkey in three. Duck, lamb, salmon and chicken each lead one recipe.
Three recipes look almost identical on the label. With Turkey & Duck, With Salmon and With Lamb & Turkey all show 29% protein and 17% fat as fed, with estimated starch of 33.5% to 34% and 418 to 423 kcal per cup. With Chicken, Turkey & Brown Rice stands apart at 24.5% protein, 14% fat, 41.5% starch and 359 kcal per cup, and it is the only recipe with grain.
Across the line, protein averages 27.9% against 26.9% for the 1,834 kibbles in our catalog. Starch averages 35.6% against 37.4%, and calories average 406 kcal per cup against 395. The trade-offs: all four recipes include peas or lentils and two include potato, so owners avoiding legumes have no option here. The range is also narrow, since three of the four recipes sit very close together on the label.
