c/d Multicare Chicken, Vegetables & Rice Stew Wet Dog Food
Verified Jun 11, 2026
This is a therapeutic wet diet for adult dogs, designed to help manage urinary health while still providing complete and balanced daily nutrition. It uses chicken and pork liver as the main animal protein sources, with rice, vegetables, and added omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals. The formula is carefully balanced for minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium to support a urinary environment less likely to form certain crystals.
Nutritionally, this is a well-designed urinary-care prescription diet for adult dogs, with strong evidence behind it. The protein, fat, and carbohydrate levels are appropriate for most adult dogs, and the mineral profile is specifically adjusted for urinary health. It’s best suited for dogs who have or are at risk for struvite or calcium oxalate urinary issues, under a veterinarian’s guidance.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Backed by AAFCO feeding trials for adult maintenance, which gives good assurance about digestibility and overall nutritional adequacy.
- Formulated specifically for urinary health, with controlled levels of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and sodium to help create a less crystal-prone urine environment.
- Uses named animal proteins (chicken and pork liver) along with added omega-3 fatty acids, which can support overall health.
- Wet stew format can help increase total water intake, which is useful for dogs with urinary concerns.
Considerations
- Contains chicken, pork liver, wheat gluten, soy oil, and fish ingredients, so it is not appropriate for dogs with known sensitivities or allergies to any of these proteins or to wheat/soy.
- Designed for adult maintenance only, so it is not suitable for growing puppies or pregnant/lactating dogs.
- As a targeted prescription urinary diet, it should be used under veterinary supervision and generally not mixed with other non-urinary diets, which can dilute its intended mineral balance.

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
Pork Liver
Pork liver is an organ meat used in pet foods as a nutrient‑dense source of high‑quality protein and concentrated vitamins and minerals—notably vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12 and folate), iron and copper—that support red blood cell production, skin/coat condition and overall metabolism. Because liver is very rich in vitamin A and certain minerals, it should be included in limited amounts to avoid hypervitaminosis A or mineral imbalances and must be properly processed to reduce pathogen risk; pets with urinary stone issues or a pork sensitivity should use caution.
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.
05
Rice
Rice is a common carbohydrate source and binder in dog and cat foods, supplying readily digestible energy and often used in formulations for sensitive stomachs or hypoallergenic diets. White rice is gentle and easy to digest while brown rice provides more fiber and micronutrients, but rice is low in essential amino acids, has a relatively high glycemic index, and can accumulate trace arsenic, so it should not be relied on as a primary protein and portions should be considered for diabetic or weight‑management pets.
