Turkey Meal & Egg Formula Advanced Allergy Care Grain-Free Dry Dog Food, 5-lb bag
Graded by The Sniff System
Brothers Dog Food Turkey Meal & Egg Formula Advanced Allergy Care is a grain-free dry food built around turkey meal, designed for adult dogs.
The formula includes dried eggs and dried chicken liver, which add diverse, highly bioavailable protein sources to the turkey meal base.
The main thing to note is the absence of an AAFCO statement. This means its nutritional completeness for any life stage is unverified.
Good fit for owners who prioritize diverse protein sources. Less ideal if you require AAFCO verification for nutritional completeness.

Research informing this analysis
MethodologyThe Sniff System grades this product against 3 cited studies relevant to its profile. Each link opens the original source.

Sniff scored this formula 53/100, landing in C-tier (acceptable-with-notes). The biggest contributor was ingredient diversity (+5 points): Includes egg, named fish, or organ meat for diverse high-bioavailability protein. A hard cap of 59 also applied because the AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement isn't disclosed on the retailer page (so our methodology can't verify the formula meets adult, growth, or all-life-stages standards). Even without the cap, the base component scores sit below the next band. The structural fix would need to address AAFCO compliance as well.

Turkey with the water cooked out. Per pound, packs more protein than fresh turkey. See why →
Position 1: primary protein source. After cooking removes water, this may drop in proportional weight, but it anchors the recipe.
- 2eggs dried
Position 2: co-primary protein. Two named animal proteins in the top 2 is a strong protein build.
- 3cassava / tapioca
- 4legumepeas
Cheap protein bulk. Fine in small amounts, but when peas stack with lentils and chickpeas in the top ingredients, it's the pattern the FDA flagged in its heart-disease investigation. See why →
Position 4. Within the FDA's top-5 DCM-pattern threshold. Especially notable if multiple pulses stack here.
- 5pea starch
Refined starch from peas, mostly carbs after the protein is removed. Counts toward the legume stack the FDA examined.
