Choice Cuts Filet Mignon Flavor in Gravy Wet Dog Food
Verified Jun 20, 2026
This is a gravy-style wet food for adult dogs, using meat by-products, animal liver, chicken, and beef as its main protein sources. It includes wheat and corn-based ingredients for carbohydrates and added vitamins and minerals to meet adult maintenance requirements. It can be fed alone or mixed with dry food as part of a complete adult diet.
Nutritionally, this is a basic, complete and balanced wet food for adult dogs that relies on by-products and mixed animal proteins for its nutrient profile. Protein and fat levels are moderate for a loaf-in-gravy style food, and it’s formulated to meet AAFCO maintenance standards. It’s a reasonable everyday option for healthy adult dogs, but not a specialty or high-protein formula, and won’t suit dogs that need to avoid beef, chicken, wheat, or soy.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Provides complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs according to AAFCO maintenance standards.
- Multiple animal-derived ingredients (meat by-products, liver, chicken, beef) supply essential amino acids and key nutrients like iron and B vitamins.
- Wet texture can help increase total water intake and is often easier for dogs with dental issues or lower appetite to eat.
- Contains added vitamins and minerals to support overall nutrient adequacy rather than relying on raw ingredients alone.
Considerations
- Contains several common allergens, including chicken, beef, wheat, and soy, so it’s not a good choice for dogs with sensitivities to these ingredients.
- Protein content is on the modest side for a wet food, which is generally fine for many adult dogs but may be lower than ideal for very active or working dogs that need higher protein density.
- Uses added color, which doesn’t provide nutritional benefit, though it is considered safe.
- Relies on multiple different animal protein sources, which can make future elimination diets more challenging if your dog develops food sensitivities later on.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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.
02
Meat By-Product
Meat by-products are rendered animal parts such as organ meats, blood, bone and other tissues used in pet food as a concentrated source of animal protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. They can provide biologically valuable nutrients—especially for cats, which require animal-derived proteins—but composition and quality vary by source so owners seeking specific ingredients or with pet food sensitivities should look for transparency and regulation-compliant sourcing.
03
Animal Liver
Animal liver is a nutrient-dense ingredient commonly used in dog and cat foods for protein, palatability, and concentrated vitamins and minerals—especially vitamin A, B-complex vitamins, heme iron and copper. It supports growth, skin/coat and red blood cell health but should be fed in moderation and properly handled, since excessive liver can cause vitamin A toxicity or copper overload in susceptible animals and raw liver may carry pathogens.
04
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.
05
Wheat Flour
Wheat flour is commonly used in pet foods as a carbohydrate source, binder and extender that provides digestible energy, some protein (including gluten), and small amounts of fiber and B‑vitamins when enriched. While generally safe and economical for many dogs, it is not a required ingredient for obligate carnivores like cats, can contribute to excess calories or a high glycemic load, and can trigger food allergies or gluten sensitivity in susceptible pets, so animals with known wheat sensitivities or weight concerns may benefit from wheat‑free formulations.
