Broth-Licious Mobility Recipe Chicken & Carrots Wet Dog Food

Verified Jun 7, 2026

Dog · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a low-calorie, chunks-in-broth wet food designed as a complete and balanced diet for adult dogs. It uses chicken as the main protein source, with carrots and peas in a chicken bone-style broth, and added vitamins, minerals, and marine microalgae to round out the nutrition. The high moisture and relatively low fat make it a light option that can work well for dogs who benefit from a leaner diet while still needing full nutrition.

KibbleLab Score
8.3 out of 10

This formula is a thoughtfully put-together, complete wet food for adult dogs that emphasizes high moisture, moderate protein, and low fat. The ingredient list is straightforward, with chicken first and no unnecessary colors or flavorings, and it relies on added vitamins and chelated minerals to ensure adequate micronutrition. It can be a good fit for adult dogs who do well on chicken and would benefit from a lighter, higher-moisture diet, including many who are prone to weight gain.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken as the primary ingredient provides a clear animal protein source, and the overall protein level is appropriate for an adult maintenance wet diet when you account for the high moisture.
  • Very low fat (1% minimum as-fed) and low caloric density can be helpful for dogs that need to control weight or that don’t tolerate richer foods well.
  • Complete and balanced to AAFCO standards for adult maintenance, with a full suite of added vitamins and chelated minerals for reliable nutrient coverage.
  • High moisture content can support good hydration, especially useful for dogs that don’t drink much water or prefer wet textures.

Considerations

  • Chicken is a common food allergen for dogs, so this recipe would not be suitable for dogs with known chicken sensitivities or allergies.
  • The very low fat level may not be ideal for particularly active, underweight, or working dogs that need more energy-dense food to maintain body condition.
  • Peas are present in the formula; while they’re not excessive here, owners who are specifically avoiding legumes due to personal preference or discussions around heart health may wish to be aware of their inclusion.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.
02
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavorful liquid base or gravy to improve palatability and add moisture, providing modest amounts of soluble protein, electrolytes and minerals. It can help encourage eating and increase hydration, but owners should choose low‑sodium, onion‑ and garlic‑free formulations (or make homemade broth), since commercial broths may contain excessive salt, seasonings or additives that are unsafe or unsuitable for dogs and cats.
03
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.
04
Green Pea
Green peas are used in pet foods as a plant-based source of protein, starch and both soluble and insoluble fiber, often serving as a carbohydrate ingredient and binder that adds energy, texture and satiety. They supply fermentable fiber and modest vitamins and minerals that can support gut health, but their protein is less bioavailable than animal sources (important for obligate-carnivore cats), may contribute excess carbohydrate if overused, and high pea-heavy or grain-free formulations have been scrutinized—though not definitively proven—as a potential factor in canine dilated cardiomyopathy, so peas are best included in moderated, properly balanced and processed complete diets.
05
Potato Starch
Potato starch is a highly digestible carbohydrate commonly used in pet foods as a binder, thickener and texture agent to help kibble formation, stabilize wet formulas and create chewy treats. It provides readily available energy but is low in protein, fat and micronutrients, so while generally safe, its high glycemic load and limited nutritional value mean it should be used sparingly—particularly for overweight pets, diabetic animals or cats on low‑carbohydrate diets, and excessive amounts can sometimes contribute to loose stools.
