Like a swag in a campsite of rooftop tents — not fancy, but has everything you need to get through the night in comfort.

The Quick Bite

A pretty decent option for big dogs needing balanced fat, clean carbs, and some proper joint support. It’s not packing the highest protein punch, but it holds its own with quality fats, a low filler load, and a tidy omega ratio. Functional extras like glucosamine, emu oil, and L-carnitine round it out nicely — just a few vague inclusions and a slightly underpowered protein hit keep it from climbing higher.

What It Gets Right

✔ Solid fat content (14%) – supports energy, coat, and metabolic health.
✔ Ideal omega ratio (~3:1) – great for joints and skin.
✔ Low filler load – only rice appears early in the list.
✔ Good functional extras – glucosamine, chondroitin, emu oil, fish oil, and L-carnitine with botanical extras.
✔ Clean mix of fats – nice mix of chicken fat, fish oil & canola oil.

Where It Falls Short

❌ Protein on the low end (23%) – okay for maintenance, but not ideal for active large breeds.
❌ Vague ingredient terms – “fish meal", and “natural antioxidants” drop transparency.
❌ Slightly higher calorie count (369 kcal/100g) – fine for most, but may need careful portioning.
