A solid all-rounder for the big fellas (and ladies)—meaty, loaded with joint support, and built to go the distance.
The Quick Bite
This one brings plenty to the bowl — high protein, a strong blend of fats, and a stack of functional goodies for joints, coat, and digestion. It’s rich in wholefoods and clearly designed with big dogs in mind, but gets pulled down a notch by its heavy lean on plant proteins and a few vague label inclusions. Still, a hearty option if your dog’s burning through energy and needs the support.
What It Gets Right
✔ Excellent protein (27%) – ideal for muscle support in large breeds.
✔ Great fat variety (17%) – includes chicken fat, fish oil, coconut oil, and emu oil.
✔ Balanced omega ratio (~3:1) – good for joints, brain, and skin health.
✔ Strong functional profile – glucosamine, chondroitin, emu oil, and more.
✔ Wholefood ingredients – sweet potato, field peas, blueberries, kelp, and other botanicals.
Where It Falls Short
❌ Plant protein dominant – field peas and pea protein appear early, reducing meat content purity.
❌ Moderate filler load – tapioca and potato appear early in the list.
❌ Transparency could be sharper – vague inclusions like “beet digest” and “natural antioxidants.”
❌ Higher fat for large breeds – can be beneficial for active dogs, but portion carefully for the average couch potatoes.
