In plain English

Nature's Logic 100% Natural Canine Chicken Feast is a grain-free wet food featuring chicken, chicken liver, and chicken heart, suitable for all life stages.

This wet food offers good protein quality from chicken, chicken liver, and chicken heart, providing solid amino acid coverage. It also includes quality fat sources like herring oil, which is a good source of EPA and DHA. The carbohydrate sources are also well-chosen, offering fermentable fiber.

While the ingredient deck looks good, the product does not explicitly state an AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement, which is a key piece of information for commercial dog foods.

Good fit for dogs of all life stages. Less ideal if you prefer products with an explicit AAFCO statement.

Who this is for

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) . Good fit for active large sporting breeds, including the Golden Retriever, navigating diet-associated DCM concerns. Chicken anchors position 1, with zero pulses in the top 15, plus chicken liver at position 3 (a natural taurine precursor) and herring oil at position 8.

Looking at this for adult Golden Retrievers or Golden Retrievers with diet-associated DCM concerns ? We are building dedicated pages for these combinations.

Why this score

At 67/100, this formula lands in solid B territory. The lift comes from protein quality, worth 17.5 points to the final number: Reasonable protein quality. chicken delivers solid amino acid coverage. Secondary contribution comes from fat quality (+12 points). Quality fat sources: named fat with marine oil (EPA and DHA source). The 8-point gap to the A-tier line is concentrated in protein quality (17.5 of 27 possible). Full protein quality requires named-species named-cut proteins in the top of the deck (e.g., "deboned chicken" rather than "chicken meal" or "poultry meal").
