What it is
Lamb lung is sheep lung — lean, light, protein-dense tissue, most visible as dried single-ingredient treats and as a component of lamb-based recipes.
Why it's in pet food
Like beef lung, it trades richness for volume: satisfying pieces at modest calories, from a named species. In lamb recipes it keeps the organ slot single-species.
How Bowlmark scores it
Scores are deterministic math over the printed label — the rules below apply to every product identically, and nothing estimates or fills in a blank.
Lamb lung is a named protein source to the engine — the word "lamb" is what it reads. When it is the first ingredient it earns the 15-point fresh named-protein bonus on the ingredient-quality pillar; in any other slot it earns nothing, because only named meals score in the second and third slots. No deduction applies — an organ sold under its own name is the transparent version of what "by-product" hides.
