Heritage Grain Free is the biggest line at ten products, with Established Hypoallergenic and Legacy High Protein at four each and Pioneer Sensitive at two. Smaller lines cover puppy, senior, small breed and light recipes. The adult count is thirty one, with four puppy and four senior.
Ingredients
Chicken and salmon lead seven products each, with fish, turkey, beef and duck behind them. Twenty one recipes are flagged single protein and seventeen grain free. Glucosamine and chondroitin give eleven of them joint support. Linseed, omega 3, salmon oil and yucca run through the lines.
Nutrition
Protein as fed runs from 20.0% on the hypoallergenic senior recipe to 38.0% in the Legacy line, with energy from 339 to 391 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Average on fifteen products and Poor on seven, while protein and processing reads Good on twenty.

Limitations

- Nutritional balance reads Poor on seven
- Five products read Average
Where it is less of a fit
- If wet or raw food is on your list, check the formats, as all thirty five products are dry
- If nutritional balance matters most, check the Legacy line first, since that pillar reads Poor on seven products and Average on fifteen
- If you want more puppy or senior choice, check the life stages, as four labels cover each
