Verified Aug 21, 2026

Dog · Wet All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a canned, chunk-style lamb recipe in bone broth for dogs of all life stages, including large-breed puppies. Lamb is the primary protein, supported by beef liver, salmon, and egg for a good mix of animal protein sources, while vegetables like sweet potato, pumpkin, and spinach add fiber and micronutrients. It’s designed to be fed on its own or used as a topper to add moisture, flavor, and variety to your dog’s meals.

Strong Choice

Nutritionally, this is a high-quality wet food or topper with lamb as the main ingredient and several additional animal proteins, providing a good amino acid profile. The formula includes a variety of fruits and vegetables plus added vitamins, minerals, and taurine for complete and balanced nutrition for all life stages, including large-breed growth. It’s a solid option for owners who want a moist lamb-based diet or a flavorful topper, as long as their dog tolerates the multiple protein sources and egg.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Lamb listed as the first ingredient, with additional high-quality animal proteins (beef liver, salmon, egg) supporting overall protein quality.
  • Complete and balanced for all life stages, including growth of large-breed puppies, which is a stricter nutritional standard.
  • Includes a variety of fruits and vegetables (sweet potato, pumpkin, spinach, cranberries, blueberries) that can contribute fiber and phytonutrients.
  • Added salmon oil and sunflower oil provide sources of omega fatty acids, and taurine is included for additional amino acid support.

Considerations

  • Contains multiple common allergen proteins (lamb, beef, salmon, egg), so it would not be suitable as a true limited-ingredient option for dogs with food allergies or sensitivities.
  • As a wet food with relatively modest protein percentage on an as-fed basis, it may be lower in calorie density than some dry foods, so portion control is important to avoid underfeeding, especially for very active dogs.
  • Includes added salt, which is normal in many canned diets but may be a consideration for dogs requiring restricted-sodium diets under veterinary guidance.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Lamb
Lamb is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a high-quality animal protein that supplies essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins and is often chosen for its palatability or as a “novel” protein in elimination diets. It can be higher in fat and calories than some other meats and may still cause allergic reactions in sensitive animals, so owners of overweight pets or those with food sensitivities should consult a veterinarian and use proper handling/cooking practices if feeding raw or homemade lamb.

02
Lamb Broth
Lamb broth is used in pet foods and toppers primarily as a flavorful, moisture-rich base or gravy to boost palatability and hydration, and it can contribute small amounts of animal protein, amino acids, and electrolytes. Pet parents should be aware that broths can be high in sodium or fat and may contain allergens or toxic seasonings (e.g., onion, garlic, xylitol), so choose low‑sodium, pet-safe formulations and consult a veterinarian for pets with dietary restrictions or sensitive stomachs.
03
Beef Bone Broth
Beef bone broth is used in pet foods and as a topper to add moisture, savory flavor and small amounts of soluble collagen, gelatin, minerals and amino acids, making it a palatability and hydration enhancer for dogs and cats. It may support hydration and gut or joint comfort through gelatinous proteins, but it should not replace a balanced diet and caregivers should choose low‑sodium, additive‑free pet-safe broths and avoid products with seasonings or bone fragments, especially for pets with beef allergies.
04
Beef Liver
Beef liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable, protein-rich, nutrient-dense ingredient that provides concentrated, bioavailable vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), heme iron, copper, and essential amino acids. While it supports blood health and overall nutrition, beef liver should be fed in moderation because excess vitamin A can cause toxicity, its richness may upset sensitive stomachs or contribute to pancreatitis in predisposed pets, and proper sourcing/processing is important to minimize contaminant or bacterial risks.
05
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.
