Nutritional Profile / Analysis

From what is publicly listed:

Also, metabolizable energy is relatively high (because of high fat & protein), to support active dogs.

Benefits & What It Supports

• Strong lean muscle development and maintenance — due to high animal protein.

• Endurance, stamina, to support dogs doing agility, frequent exercise etc.

• Natural flavours, palatability, via fresh/raw proteins and freeze-dried liver.

• Grain-free diet which may be helpful for dogs sensitive to grains (though “grain-free” is not the same as “allergy-safe” for all dogs).

• Rich in fruits, vegetables, botanicals, providing fiber, antioxidants, vitamins etc.

Things to Watch / Possible Concerns

• Cost: Premium formula ingredients tend to make it more expensive than more basic dog foods.

• High energy density: Because fat & protein are high, portions may need careful adjustment so dogs don’t gain unwanted weight if they aren’t extremely active.

• Allergies / Sensitivities: Even though it's grain-free, some dogs can be sensitive to ingredients like peas, legumes, chicken etc., so always monitor for reactions when switching.

• Availability in different regions: Ingredients or exact formulation may vary by country; always check the package for local info.
