A dry adult formula for small dogs (roughly 1–10 kg) built on lamb and brown rice, with oatmeal, peas, potato and egg rounding out the grain-and-meat blend. It is positioned for high-energy small breeds, with calcium, phosphorus and zinc for bones and joints, omega-3 and omega-6 for skin and coat, and added B, A, C, D and E vitamins. Its signature feature is LifeSource Bits, antioxidant-rich kibble pieces cold-formed to keep their potency. Against grain-free rivals it keeps rice and oats as its carbohydrate base, which suits owners who want grains in the bowl; against budget small-breed kibbles it leans on named meat first and a broader nutrient panel. Owners rate it highly overall, though some report picky dogs leaving the dark LifeSource Bits behind.
