KibbleLab Score
8.6 out of 10

Strong Choice

Nutritionally, this is a high-quality, meat-forward wet food that’s complete and balanced for dogs of all ages, including many puppies and adults who do well on grain-free diets. The use of beef, liver, and bison as main ingredients provides good-quality protein, and the added vegetables, fruits, and fish oil contribute fiber and beneficial fatty acids. It’s a nice option for dogs who can’t have chicken or who prefer a softer, fresh-style food, as long as they don’t have sensitivities to beef or fish.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Beef, beef liver, and bison are the primary ingredients, offering good-quality, highly palatable animal protein and essential amino acids.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, so it can be used for puppies, adults, and seniors as a sole diet if it suits the dog.
  • Includes spinach, pumpkin, cranberries, and blueberries, which provide fiber and natural antioxidants that can support digestive and overall health.
  • Contains fish oil and chelated (proteinate) minerals, which can improve fatty acid intake and mineral absorption compared with less bioavailable forms.

Considerations

  • Contains beef and fish-derived ingredients, which are common food allergens for some dogs; not ideal if your dog has known sensitivities to these proteins.
  • Grain-free formula relies on meat and produce for carbohydrates; while fine for many dogs, it may not be necessary unless your dog truly needs a grain-free diet.
  • Carrageenan is used as a thickener; it is generally recognized as safe in pet foods, but some owners of dogs with very sensitive digestion may prefer to monitor tolerance to it.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.

02
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.
03
Bison
Bison is used as a high-quality animal protein in dog and cat foods, commonly included in limited-ingredient or novel-protein formulas for pets with food sensitivities. It supplies essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins and is typically leaner than beef—making it a lower-fat option that may require added fat or formulation adjustments for energy needs; as with all meats it should be part of a complete, balanced diet (especially for cats who need adequate taurine), be sourced and processed safely, and may still cause allergic reactions in some individual pets.
View ingredient
04
Spinach
Spinach is used in pet foods as a leafy vegetable to provide fiber, moisture, and micronutrients such as vitamins A, C and K, folate, iron and antioxidant compounds, but it is not a primary protein source. While it can add low‑calorie nutrients and antioxidants to a dog or cat’s diet, spinach is high in oxalates (and can contain nitrates) which in large amounts may reduce mineral absorption or contribute to urinary/kidney issues in susceptible animals, so it should be fed in moderation and pets with specific health concerns should consult their veterinarian.
View ingredient
05
Cranberry
Cranberries are used in pet foods and supplements as a source of fiber and antioxidants (notably polyphenols/proanthocyanidins) and are commonly included for their potential urinary tract–supporting properties in dogs and cats. While these compounds may help inhibit bacterial adhesion in the urinary tract, scientific evidence in pets is limited, and owners should choose unsweetened, preservative-free preparations (avoiding products sweetened with xylitol), watch for gastrointestinal upset or effects on urine pH, and consult a veterinarian for pets with urinary stones or taking certain medications.
