KibbleLab Score
7.6 out of 10

Solid Option

This is a generally well-formulated wet food for adult dogs that offers complete and balanced nutrition with turkey as the primary animal protein and a mix of grains and vegetables. The use of organ meats and by-products can provide important nutrients beyond muscle meat, and the calorie density is typical for a wet diet. It’s a reasonable everyday option for healthy adult dogs who enjoy moist, shredded textures, as long as they tolerate the included wheat and soy ingredients.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance, so it’s complete and balanced for adult dogs when fed as directed.
  • Turkey and liver provide animal-based protein and important vitamins and minerals, supported by nutrient-dense meat by-products.
  • Includes digestible carbohydrate sources like brown rice and sweet potatoes, plus spinach for additional fiber and micronutrients.
  • Free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, which some owners prefer, while still using a proven preservative system.

Considerations

  • Contains wheat gluten and soy flour, which can be problem ingredients for dogs with known wheat or soy allergies or sensitivities.
  • Protein level is moderate for a wet food; very active dogs or those needing higher protein may do better with a higher-protein formula under veterinary guidance.
  • Meat by-products are included; while nutritionally valuable, their exact composition can vary depending on the manufacturer’s quality control.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Turkey Broth
Turkey broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavoring and moisture enhancer to improve palatability, and in wet formulas it contributes small amounts of protein, amino acids and electrolytes. It can help entice dogs and cats to eat or increase hydration, but caregivers should check sodium levels and avoid broths with onion, garlic, xylitol or other harmful additives, and be mindful if the pet has a poultry allergy.
02
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.

03
Wheat Gluten
Wheat gluten is a concentrated plant protein commonly used in dry pet foods as a protein booster, binder and texture improver to help form kibble and extend meat-based ingredients. It provides digestible protein for dogs and cats but is low in certain essential amino acids (notably lysine) and lacks animal-specific nutrients like taurine, so it should not be the sole protein source; pets with wheat or gluten sensitivities may also experience allergic or gastrointestinal reactions.
04
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.
View ingredient
05
Liver
Liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat used in pet foods as a high-quality protein source, natural flavor enhancer, and a concentrated supply of vitamins and minerals—particularly vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12 and folate), iron and copper. It offers important micronutrients for both dogs and cats but should be fed in controlled amounts because excessive liver can cause vitamin A (and sometimes copper) toxicity, and raw liver carries food-safety risks unless properly processed.
