Like a paddock-to-plate feast for your dog—meaty, rich, and loaded with the good stuff. This one’s the duck’s nuts (Pun intended).

The Quick Bite

Packed with duck, dripping in high-quality fats, and bursting with joint and gut support, this air-dried formula is made for dogs that live large. With no plant protein and a seriously strong nutritional base, it’s rich, energy-dense, and perfect for active dogs or raw-style feeders. It’s got a touch of potato in the top 5 ingredients that nudges the carb load up slightly, and the label’s still got a few vague spots — but overall, it flies pretty bloody close to perfect.

What It Gets Right

✔️ Big protein (36%) – protein comes purely from whole duck and organs.
✔️ High-quality fats – sunflower, algae, flaxseed, and evening primrose oils.
✔️ Balanced omega ratio (~3.8:1) – great for joints, skin, and brain health.
✔️ Functional heavy hitter – includes postbiotics, glucosamine, taurine, and more.
✔️ Mostly wholefood carbs – sweet potato and carrot lead the way.

Where It Falls Short

❌ Mild carb load – potato in the top 5 adds a bit of unnecessary bulk.
❌ Slight label vagueness – terms like “vitamins & minerals” still cost half a point on transparency.
❌ High calorie content (470 kcal/100g) – not a flaw, but needs careful portioning, especially for less active dogs.
