Top Pick

This wet food is designed for puppies, including large breeds, and offers a mix of animal proteins with moderate fat to support healthy growth. It’s AAFCO-formulated for all life stages, which means it meets the nutrient profile for growing dogs when fed as directed. It can work well as a primary diet or as a topper for dry puppy food if you want more moisture and palatability.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Multiple animal proteins, including pork, chicken, and lamb, provide a broad amino acid profile to support growing puppies.
  • Brown rice, barley, beet pulp, and tomato add digestible carbohydrates and fiber to support healthy digestion.
  • The diet is formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, including large-breed growth, when fed as directed.
  • Canned, high-moisture format can help support hydration and is often very palatable for young puppies.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken and lamb, so it is not a good fit for puppies with known allergies to these proteins.
  • The primary named meat is pork, so owners specifically seeking a lamb-only or lamb-dominant formula should be aware of the mixed proteins.
  • Protein and fat levels are on the moderate side for a growth diet, so very high-energy working or very underweight puppies may need careful portion management.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Pork
Pork is used in pet foods primarily as a high-quality animal protein and flavor enhancer, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins (especially B12 and niacin), iron and zinc, plus fat for calorie-dense energy; it can be suitable for both dogs and cats when balanced in a complete diet. Because pork can be relatively high in fat, it may be inappropriate for pets requiring low‑fat diets or those prone to pancreatitis, some animals may have sensitivities to pork, and raw or undercooked pork can carry parasites or pathogens so it should be properly processed or cooked.

02
Broth
Broth is commonly used in pet food and as a meal topper to add moisture, flavor and minor soluble nutrients (electrolytes, gelatin/collagen and small amounts of protein) to increase palatability and support hydration in both dogs and cats. It can be beneficial for picky eaters or convalescing pets, but caregivers should choose low‑sodium, pet‑safe formulations and avoid broths containing onion, garlic, excessive fat, bouillon cubes or other additives that can be toxic or cause gastrointestinal upset.
03
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.
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
Chicken By-Product
Chicken by-product is a common protein ingredient in pet foods made from edible parts of the bird not typically consumed by people—such as organs (liver, heart), necks and other tissues—and is used to add protein, flavor and nutrient density. It can provide concentrated protein, essential amino acids, B vitamins and minerals (and may contribute taurine when organ meats are included), but composition and quality vary by source, so pet parents concerned about sourcing, higher ash/fat content or chicken allergies should check the manufacturer’s labeling and quality standards.
