This line is built on grain-free kibble with legumes in every bag: all seven recipes include peas or lentils, and fish shows up in six. Chicken, duck and turkey each appear in two recipes, lamb appears only in Manitok, and egg only in OHANA. Every recipe is sold for adults except Re-juvenate, which is labeled for seniors.
Protein is tightly grouped from 30% to 33% as fed, averaging 30.6% against a kibble catalog average of 26.9%. Fat varies far more, from 7% in Lean Formula to 16% in OHANA, Salcha, Aqualuk and Manitok. Estimated starch runs from 34.5% to 43.5% and averages 36.4%, close to the catalog's 37.4%. Calories average 436 kcal per cup, against 395 for the catalog.
The trade-offs: there is no legume-free choice here, and potato appears in Lean Formula, Aqualuk, Re-juvenate and Sustain. Calorie density spans 365 kcal per cup in Sustain to 522 in Salcha, so feeding amounts do not carry over when switching recipes. OHANA has no fiber figure or estimated starch in our data.
