Performance Vital 24K Formula Beef Flavor Double Duty Large Kibble Dry Dog Food, 35-lb bag
Graded by The Sniff System
Kinetic Performance Vital 24K Formula Beef Flavor Double Duty Large Kibble Dry Dog Food is a dry food for all life stages, featuring beef as its main protein source.
This formula includes quality carbohydrate sources with fermentable fiber, which can be good for digestion. It also uses premium micronutrient forms like chelated minerals, which are easier for your dog's body to absorb.
One thing to note is the absence of a declared omega-3 source. Ingredients like fish oil, salmon oil, or algae oil are not present in the formula.
Good fit for active dogs of all life stages. Less ideal if you're looking for a declared omega-3 source.
Summary written by The Sniff System from the data above. Same rubric, same drivers, expressed in English.
Strong fit for adult Australian Shepherds navigating skin allergies. Working in its favor: calorie density (450 kcal/cup) matches a high-energy working breed. The protein deck is built around a single species (beef). Aussies are working-line dogs that thrive on high-protein performance formulas. Coat quality also benefits from EPA+DHA. Zinc is essential for skin immunity and healing; the NRC (2006) established a recommended allowance of 20 mg of zinc per 1000 kcal ME for adult dogs at maintenance (NRC, 2006) .

Middle-of-pack grade. 55/100 (C) reflects the structural fit of this formula against The Sniff System's eight scoring components. Carbohydrate quality did the heavy lifting (+16 points): Quality carbohydrate sources with fermentable fiber. What we'd flag for vet discussion: fat quality (-8 points). No declared omega-3 source. Fish oil, salmon oil, and algae oil all absent. B-tier is 5.0 points away. Improving fat quality is the most direct route.

Read why each ingredient is good or bad for dogs.
- 1protein animalbeef meal
Beef cooked down to a dry concentrate. More protein per pound than fresh beef. See why →
Position 1: primary protein source. After cooking removes water, this may drop in proportional weight, but it anchors the recipe.
- 2grain sorghum
Same as sorghum. Whole grain with a low glycemic index. Gluten-free, well-tolerated.
Position 2: major carbohydrate source.
- 3grainbrown rice
Whole grain that's easy to digest. Steady carb energy plus a little fiber.
Position 3: major carbohydrate source.
- 4bacon fat
Position 4: secondary fat. Often where marine oils sit when present alongside a primary land-animal fat.
- 5brewer's rice
Position 5: supporting grain. Smaller contribution to the carb deck.
- 6protein animalfish meal
Concentrated fish protein, usually whitefish, herring, or mackerel. Strong amino acid profile. See why →
Position 6: supporting protein. Modest contribution to total protein weight.
- 7porcine gelatin
- 8dried plain beet pulp
Beet fiber, with the sugar removed. Long unfairly maligned. It's a real soluble fiber that supports stool quality. See why →
Position 8: functional fiber for digestion or satiety.
- 9flaxseeds
Plural form, same as flaxseed. Plant source of omega-3, helpful for skin and coat.
