Dog · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a canned beef and chicken–based stew designed as a complete and balanced diet for adult dogs. It uses animal proteins like chicken, beef liver, and beef as the main protein sources, with vegetables such as tomato, carrots, and peas plus added vitamins and minerals. The formula suits healthy adult dogs and can be fed alone or used as a topper over dry food.

KibbleLab Score
8.1 out of 10

This is a well-formulated wet food for adult dogs that relies on multiple animal protein sources and is balanced to meet maintenance needs. The calorie density is moderate for a stew-style canned food, which can work well for active dogs when portions are adjusted appropriately. It’s a solid everyday option for adult dogs who enjoy a moist, stew-like texture, provided they don’t have issues with ingredients like chicken, beef, wheat, or peas.

The KibbleLab Score (1–10) is assessed from publicly available product data. Our evaluation is science-based, not marketing-based.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Complete and balanced for adult maintenance, so it can be used as a sole diet or reliably mixed with dry food.
  • Multiple animal proteins (chicken, beef liver, beef) high in the ingredient list provide good-quality protein and essential amino acids.
  • Includes vegetables and flaxseed, which can contribute fiber and beneficial fatty acids, and uses added vitamins and minerals for nutritional completeness.
  • Moisture level is high, which can help support hydration for dogs that don’t drink a lot of water on their own.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken, beef, wheat flour, peas, and beef liver, which can be problem ingredients for dogs with food allergies or sensitivities to these common proteins or wheat.
  • Uses several plant-based thickeners (powdered cellulose, guar gum, xanthan gum); most dogs tolerate these well, but they can cause soft stools in a few sensitive pets.
  • Calorie density is on the higher side for a wet food, so portion control is important, especially for less active or smaller dogs.

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
Beef Liver
Beef liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable, protein-rich, nutrient-dense ingredient that provides concentrated, bioavailable vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), heme iron, copper, and essential amino acids. While it supports blood health and overall nutrition, beef liver should be fed in moderation because excess vitamin A can cause toxicity, its richness may upset sensitive stomachs or contribute to pancreatitis in predisposed pets, and proper sourcing/processing is important to minimize contaminant or bacterial risks.
04
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.
05
Tomato
Tomato is commonly used in pet foods as a source of fiber, natural color/flavor and antioxidants (notably lycopene) and appears in forms like tomato pomace or dried tomato meal rather than as a primary protein. While ripe tomato components can provide vitamins and antioxidant benefits, they are not nutritionally essential for dogs or cats and green stems/leaves (and unripe fruit) contain solanine/tomatine that can be toxic; acidic or heavily seasoned tomato products may also cause stomach upset or contain added salt/sugar to avoid.
