Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
The two Bacillus strains form spores that hold up well on the shelf; Bifidobacterium is far more fragile. Sitting below the salt and the rosemary, they give a small daily dose, a nudge rather than a fix.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Lamb and lamb meal are the only named animal proteins, which fits the limited ingredient label. Chickpeas and peas, third and fourth, carry much of the rest.

Is it a high-protein food?
Average
Lamb and lamb meal lead, but on a dry basis protein lands just above the average dry food we list. Chickpeas and peas do much of the filling.
-
Is a cup a normal cup?
Yes
About 3% more calories than the average dry food we list, close enough that switching to it won't need a new scoop size.
- Feed it to
- Puppies and adults that do well on lamb, and dogs rotating away from chicken or beef.
- Skip it for
- Dogs allergic to lamb, dogs on a low-fat diet, and owners whose vet wants them off legume-heavy grain-free food.
