Who is this food for?
Suits

- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists dried chicken protein
- Your dog avoids beef: it is listed as an ingredient
- Your dog avoids lamb: it is listed as an ingredient
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists fish meal
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists oats
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
These points are derived from declared ingredients and analysis, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, food choice is a medical nutrition decision: speak to your vet. Find foods that fit your dog.
