This kibble recipe uses a balanced mix of named meats and animal by-product meals as its protein source, earning it a 3.5-star rating.
Chicken by-product meal is the key component, made up of rendered products made from what remains after all choice cuts have been removed from slaughtered poultry, including high levels of protein but low concentrations of other essential vitamins and minerals.

What is ORIJEN?
ORIJEN is a high-protein grain-free dog food designed to mimic your pet’s ancestral diet. Dogs are carnivores by nature and should get most of their nutrition from animal sources; thus ORIJEN uses high-quality meat ingredients such as venison, lamb and duck as well as freeze-dried liver for increased protein and flavor enhancement.
ORIJEN stands out from many other dog food providers by not including omega-6 to omega-3 ratios in their products and using different fish species, including wild-caught pollock.
Champion Petfoods owns and manufactures Orijen as part of their product lineup, along with Acana and Orijen Raw. In terms of recalls in either country, neither Acana or Orijen Raw have ever experienced one, and Orijen alone includes pollock oil which naturally provides both EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids for your pup to enjoy!
What is Rolled Dog Food?
Dog food rolls are semi-moist pet foods typically eaten chilled and heated or pasteurized before feeding to their animals. High-quality rolls use less extreme processing and prioritize whole-food ingredients for improved digestibility and nutrient absorption.
This diet features liver as the protein source and includes peas and carrots as healthy sources of fiber, while carrots offer antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
This recipe uses flaxseed as a source of omega-3 fatty acids and sodium selenite — an artificial form of selenium more difficult to absorb than natural forms such as selenium yeast — as an artificial form of selenium. Furthermore, iron oxide (commonly referred to as “iron rust”) was added for coloring purposes – we prefer foods that use more naturally-occurring coloring agents instead.
What is Air Dried Dog Food?
Air-dried dog food offers all of the convenience of kibble while still containing most of its original nutrients. Often composed of high-grade meats such as chicken, beef and fish. Plus, air-dried food includes various fruits and vegetables to provide added vitamins and minerals!
Air-dried food for dogs differs from its high temperature cousin in that it is slowly oven roasted to preserve quality ingredients while producing a tasty and crunchy texture that may benefit those with sensitive stomachs or allergies. Air-dried dog foods can be great choices when trying to feed sensitive stomachs or allergies to certain ingredients.
When purchasing air-dried dog food, make sure to carefully read the label and look for high-quality meats, omega fatty acids and organic fruit and vegetables. Also avoid foods containing dyes, salt, sugar propylene glycol BHT BHA preservatives as these could harm their health.
