Stewlicious Beef & Vegetable Stew Wet Dog Food

Verified Jul 19, 2026

Dog · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a canned, chunky beef and vegetable stew for adult dogs, using beef and chicken as the main animal protein sources. It includes peas, potatoes, carrots, and flaxseed, providing carbohydrates and extra fiber in a gravy-style formula. The moderate protein and fat levels make it a reasonable option for many adult dogs who do well on a moist, stew-type diet.

8.7 out of 10

Strong Choice

Overall, this is a solid, mid-range wet food for adult dogs that relies on named beef and chicken for its primary proteins and provides a moderate calorie density for a canned diet. The formula uses familiar ingredients like peas, potatoes, and carrots, with added vitamins and minerals for complete nutrition. It can work well for many healthy adult dogs, as long as they don’t have sensitivities to beef, chicken, egg, or peas.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Named animal protein sources (beef and chicken) appear high in the ingredient list, which supports a good quality protein base for a wet food.
  • Calorie density is on the moderate side for canned food, which can help with portion control and weight management when fed appropriately.
  • Includes ground flaxseed and beet pulp, which can support fiber intake and provide some omega-3 fatty acids and stool-quality benefits.
  • Free of wheat and soy, which may help dogs who react to those particular ingredients.

Considerations

  • Contains both beef and chicken, plus dried egg product, so it is not suitable for dogs with allergies or intolerances to these common protein allergens.
  • Peas are present in the ingredient list; while not the dominant ingredient, owners of breeds with known heart concerns may prefer to limit legume-heavy diets.
  • Added color is nutritionally unnecessary for dogs, though it is not generally a safety concern.
  • Protein level is on the lower side compared with some other wet foods, so very active or highly athletic dogs may need a higher-protein option.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Beef Broth
Beef broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a savory flavoring and moisture enhancer to boost palatability and encourage hydration, and depending on preparation can contribute small amounts of protein, minerals and gelatin-derived collagen. Care should be taken because commercial broths are often high in sodium and may contain added ingredients (onion, garlic, spices, preservatives or sweeteners) that can be harmful to dogs or cats, so choose low-sodium, pet-safe formulations and avoid if your pet has a beef allergy or sodium-sensitive condition.
02
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.

03
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.

04
Carrot
Carrot is used in pet foods as a vegetable ingredient providing fiber, moisture, texture and antioxidant nutrients such as beta‑carotene (a provitamin A), vitamin K, vitamin C and potassium, contributing to palatability and digestive bulk. Cooked carrots are more digestible and release more beta‑carotene, but cats cannot efficiently convert beta‑carotene to active vitamin A so carrots are more nutritionally useful for dogs than as a primary vitamin A source for cats; they should be fed in moderation due to natural sugars and should be offered in appropriately sized pieces to avoid choking.
View ingredient
05
Egg Product
Egg product is used in pet foods as a high-quality, highly digestible animal protein and palatability enhancer, providing complete essential amino acids, fats, vitamins (such as A, D and B12), minerals and choline, and it often serves as a binder or emulsifier when included as whole, dried or concentrated egg. It supplies bioavailable nutrients for dogs and cats but can be a food allergen for some individuals, may be higher in fat depending on yolk content, and should be properly processed (pasteurized or cooked) to reduce microbial risk.
