The Verdict:
THE SENSITIVITY FOUNDATION. This grain-free dry recipe provides a beautifully thoughtful approach to the bowl, utilizing a single animal protein source and soothing functional fiber to naturally nourish a companion navigating food sensitivities.

The Good: It boasts a strong 65% animal ingredient foundation starting with raw deboned duck, duck meal, and duck liver, while mindfully incorporating whole pears and pumpkin to deeply soothe the digestive tract.

The Reality: Because limited-ingredient diets cannot rely on multiple meat proteins to build the kibble, the formula leans heavily on a dense cluster of legumes starting right inside the top five (including sweet potato, whole chickpeas, and whole lentils) to bind the recipe together.

Ingredients:

(By law, pet food ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight before processing. These top five items dictate whether the food will truly nourish your pet, or just fill them up with heavy binders!)
Deboned Duck: A premium, water-heavy raw muscle meat.
Duck Meal: A heavily concentrated, rendered protein source.
Duck Liver: A wildly nutrient-dense organ meat.
Sweet Potato: A whole-food complex carbohydrate used for structure and fiber.
Whole Chickpeas: A dense legume and structural starch binder.

Melody's Take:
This is a wonderfully thoughtful option for Pet Parents looking to mindfully nourish a companion struggling with severe food sensitivities! Utilizing a single poultry source alongside gentle, whole-food pear provides beautifully soothing digestive support for the creations we are entrusted to care for. It is a premium option, but because it relies on a heavy cluster of chickpeas and lentils to hold its shape, it is a great choice strictly for dogs that tolerate legumes well without digestive upset!
