Turkey, Duck & Chicken Dinner Grain-Free Pate Wet Dog Food, 12.5-oz can, case of 12
Graded by The Sniff System
OrgaNOMics Turkey, Duck & Chicken Dinner is a grain-free pate wet dog food featuring turkey, duck, and chicken.
This food offers reasonable protein quality, with turkey providing solid amino acid coverage. It also includes egg in the top ingredients, which adds diverse, highly bioavailable protein.
The biggest watch item is the lack of an AAFCO statement, which means its nutritional completeness is unverified. Also, there's no declared omega-3 source like fish or algae oil.
Good fit for dogs who enjoy a wet pate texture and owners who prioritize animal protein. Less ideal if you require AAFCO verification or specific omega-3s.

Middle-of-pack grade. 48/100 (C) reflects the structural fit of this formula against The Sniff System's eight scoring components. Protein quality did the heavy lifting (+19.5 points): Reasonable protein quality. turkey delivers solid amino acid coverage. What capped it: the score can't exceed 59 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). Removing the cap alone wouldn't change the band. Fat quality is the deeper issue.

Read why each ingredient is good or bad for dogs.
- 1protein animalturkey
Real meat. Lean protein, good amino acid profile, often well-tolerated by dogs sensitive to chicken.
Position 1: primary protein source. After cooking removes water, this may drop in proportional weight, but it anchors the recipe.
- 2protein animalduck
Real meat. Often used as a novel protein for dogs with sensitivities to chicken or beef.
Position 2: co-primary protein. Two named animal proteins in the top 2 is a strong protein build.
- 3protein animalchicken
Real meat. Primary protein source, with the amino acid profile dogs actually evolved to eat.
Position 3: significant protein contributor. Adds amino-acid diversity to the top of the deck.
- 4vegetablecarrots
Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, and a small amount of antioxidant value.
Position 4: meaningful whole-food inclusion. Source of vitamins, antioxidants, or natural fiber.

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 →

- 6vegetablesweet potato
Complex carb with fiber and beta-carotene. Gentle on the stomach.
Position 6: meaningful whole-food inclusion. Source of vitamins, antioxidants, or natural fiber.

- 8egg
Whole eggs. The highest-quality protein on any ingredient label, by amino acid score.
Position 8: supporting protein. Modest contribution to total protein weight.

Position 9: trace fat. Below the level that materially shifts the fat profile.
- 10vegetable oil
Unnamed plant oil. Could be soy, canola, corn, or a blend. Named oils like sunflower or canola are more transparent.
