Open FarmPasture-Raised Lamb Ancient Grains Dry Dog Food

A red-meat protein, fattier than chicken and with a strong flavor many dogs prefer. Fresh lamb is weighed wet, so it sits higher on the list than the meal form would. Lamb was once the standard novel protein for allergy diets, and with wider use it now shows up as a reported allergen too, though still less often than beef or chicken.

A whole grain used as a carbohydrate and fiber source. Oats are well digested, higher in protein than rice, and contain beta-glucan, a soluble fiber linked to steadier blood sugar. They are a common choice in sensitive-stomach and weight-control foods. Oat fiber is the hull, which is mostly insoluble fiber; oat flour and oatmeal are the whole grain milled. Grain allergy is rare in pets.

A lean, mild fish, often cod, haddock, pollock or a mix, used as a protein source. Whitefish is lower in fat and omega-3 than salmon or herring and is chosen for its gentle flavor and digestibility. The term covers several species, so it is less specific than salmon or herring for an owner tracking a fish allergy. Whitefish meal is the concentrated, dried form.
