Osopure is built around one named meat listed first. In the kibbles, that meat's meal comes next, followed by garbanzo beans, peas and lentils. All eight recipes are grain free and all list peas or lentils. The three kibbles (salmon, duck, turkey) are labeled for adults. The five wet foods (lamb, duck, chicken, beef, turkey and salmon) all include dried egg product.
The kibbles share the same label: 24% protein, 14% fat, 5.5% fiber and 40.5% estimated starch, as fed. Only calories differ, from 328 to 338 kcal per cup. Against the catalog kibble average of 26.9% protein and 37.4% starch, Osopure has less protein and more starch, and it falls below the 395 kcal average. Every wet recipe shows 8% protein and 82% moisture, with fat from 4 to 6%, close to the catalog wet average of 8.4% protein.
The trade-off is that picking within this line comes down to the protein source, since the nutrient figures barely change. Legumes run through every recipe, so this line offers no option for owners who avoid peas or lentils.
