Natural HQS Chicken Fillet Entree in Broth Wet Dog Food

Verified Jun 17, 2026

Dog · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a simple, high–meat wet food topper for adult dogs, made mostly from chicken fillet in broth with a small amount of rice. It offers a modest protein level for a canned product and is designed to be fed alongside a complete diet, not as the only source of nutrition. Its short ingredient list can be helpful for dogs who do better on more straightforward recipes.

KibbleLab Score
7.0 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a very straightforward chicken-and-rice canned food meant for supplemental use rather than a complete diet. The high proportion of chicken is appealing, and the limited ingredients can be useful for some dogs with simpler dietary needs, but it does not include the added vitamins and minerals needed to stand alone. It’s best used as a topper or mix-in with a balanced dry or wet food for adult dogs of any size.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Very short, limited-ingredient list featuring chicken as the primary component, which can be useful for dogs who do better on simpler formulas.
  • Relatively high meat content for a wet food, providing animal-based protein and good palatability.
  • Low fiber and moderate calorie density make it easy to combine with a balanced dry or complete wet food without dramatically changing overall nutrient intake.
  • Clear labeling that it is for supplemental feeding only, helping owners understand it should be combined with a complete diet.

Considerations

  • Labeled for supplemental feeding only, so it does not provide all required vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients and should not be used as the sole diet long-term.
  • Chicken is a very common food allergen in dogs, so this would not be appropriate for dogs with chicken sensitivities or confirmed chicken allergy.
  • Fat content is on the lower side for many active adult dogs, so when using it as a topper, pair it with a complete food that provides adequate fat and essential fatty acids.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.
02
Water
Water is an essential nutrient and the primary solvent and moisture component in pet foods, especially wet and canned diets, and is also used in processing and to adjust texture and palatability. It is vital for digestion, nutrient transport, temperature regulation and waste removal in dogs and cats; pets must have constant access to clean water as dehydration can quickly lead to serious health issues and requirements increase with activity, heat, or illness, while moisture in wet food can help meet part of their daily needs.
03
Rice
Rice is a common carbohydrate source and binder in dog and cat foods, supplying readily digestible energy and often used in formulations for sensitive stomachs or hypoallergenic diets. White rice is gentle and easy to digest while brown rice provides more fiber and micronutrients, but rice is low in essential amino acids, has a relatively high glycemic index, and can accumulate trace arsenic, so it should not be relied on as a primary protein and portions should be considered for diabetic or weight‑management pets.
