This is a chunks-in-gravy wet food formulated to be complete and balanced for adult dogs. Chicken, organ meats, and meat and poultry by-products provide the main protein sources, with added vitamins and minerals to round out the diet. It can be used as a full meal or mixed with dry food for dogs who enjoy a moist texture and stronger flavors like bacon and cheese.

KibbleLab Score
7.9 out of 10

Solid Option

Nutritionally, this is a basic but complete wet food option for adult dogs, using a mix of chicken, organ meats, and meat and poultry by-products as its protein base. The moderate protein and fat levels are typical for a gravy-style pouch food, and the formula is fortified to meet adult maintenance needs. It’s a reasonable choice for healthy adult dogs that enjoy wet food, provided they don’t have sensitivities to chicken, wheat, corn, or soy.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Formulated to be 100% complete and balanced for adult maintenance, so it can be fed as a sole diet or mixed with dry food.
  • Contains chicken, animal liver, meat and poultry by-products, which can be very nutrient-dense sources of protein and essential vitamins and minerals.
  • Wet format with high moisture content can help with hydration and is often very palatable, which can be helpful for picky eaters.
  • Free from added sugar, artificial flavors, and high fructose corn syrup, which some owners prefer to avoid.

Considerations

  • Several potential allergens are present, including chicken, meat and poultry by-products (likely mixed animal sources), wheat, corn protein meal, and soybean oil, so it may not suit dogs with food sensitivities to these ingredients.
  • Protein level is on the modest side for a wet food, which is fine for many average adult dogs but may be less ideal for very active or working dogs that need higher protein density from their main diet.
  • Added color is used, which doesn’t provide nutritional benefit for dogs, though it is considered safe.
  • Relies partly on plant-based ingredients like wheat flour, wheat gluten, and corn starch for structure and calories, which slightly dilute the overall proportion of animal protein in the formula.

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
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.

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
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.
05
Poultry By-Product
Poultry by-product is used primarily as a concentrated protein, fat and micronutrient source in pet foods and consists of rendered poultry parts such as internal organs, bones and connective tissues that supply amino acids, minerals (notably calcium and phosphorus) and B‑vitamins. It can be a cost‑effective source of bioavailable nutrients, but composition and quality vary by source and processing—owners of pets with poultry allergies or who prefer named-meat ingredients may choose alternatives, and safety depends on reputable rendering and adherence to regulatory standards.
