Adult Frozen Sensitive Stomach Fresh Dog Food, 72-oz pouch, 7 count
Graded by The Sniff System
JustFoodForDogs Adult Frozen Sensitive Stomach Fresh Dog Food is a wet food featuring turkey and turkey liver, formulated for adult dogs.
This formula includes quality carbohydrate sources like white and brown rice, and it declares fiber content. It also features turkey liver, which adds diverse, highly bioavailable protein. The formulation is inferred to meet AAFCO standards for adult maintenance.
The score is capped due to low protein and fat levels on a dry matter basis. White rice is the first ingredient, indicating a plant-protein-dominated formula. There's also no declared omega-3 source like fish or algae oil.
Good fit for adult dogs with sensitive stomachs. Less ideal if you prefer a higher protein, animal-protein-first formula.
Summary written by The Sniff System from the data above. Same rubric, same drivers, expressed in English.
Strong fit for adult Golden Retrievers and similar active sporting breeds navigating diet-associated DCM concerns. Turkey anchors position 2, with zero pulses in the top 15, plus added taurine at position 13 and turkey liver at position 4 (a natural taurine precursor). In its 2022 update on diet-associated DCM, the FDA identified Golden Retrievers as the most reported breed, with 121 cases out of 1,382 total canine reports (8.8%) received between January 1, 2014, and November 1, 2022 (FDA, 2022) .

Below-average grade. 41/100 (D) reflects the structural fit of this formula against The Sniff System's eight scoring components. Carbohydrate quality did the heavy lifting (+13 points): Quality carbohydrate sources with declared fiber. What capped it: the score can't exceed 49 because the guaranteed analysis falls below AAFCO's minimum nutrient profile. Removing the cap alone wouldn't change the band. Protein quality is the deeper issue.
Quality carbohydrate sources with declared fiber.
Includes egg, named fish, or organ meat for diverse high-bioavailability protein.
AAFCO formulation inferred from declared adult maintenance. Verbatim statement not published by retailer.
Plant-protein-dominated formula. white rice as the #1 ingredient.
No declared omega-3 source. Fish oil, salmon oil, and algae oil all absent.

Read why each ingredient is good or bad for dogs.
- 1grainwhite rice
Refined grain with the bran stripped off. Easy to digest, but not as nutrient-dense as brown rice.
Position 1 grain: primary carbohydrate base. This is a grain-inclusive formula with white rice as the dominant carb.
- 2protein animalturkey
Real meat. Lean protein, good amino acid profile, often well-tolerated by dogs sensitive to chicken.
Position 2: co-primary protein. Two named animal proteins in the top 2 is a strong protein build.
- 3grainbrown rice
Whole grain that's easy to digest. Steady carb energy plus a little fiber.
Position 3: major carbohydrate source.
- 4protein animalturkey liver
Organ meat. Same nutrient-density story as chicken or beef liver: protein, iron, B vitamins, vitamin A.
Position 4. Named organ meat this high is a strong build choice. Concentrated source of taurine, glutamine, and B-vitamins.
- 5mineraldicalcium phosphate
Calcium and phosphorus combined. Required source of both minerals, especially in formulas without much bone content.
