h/d With Chicken Wet Dog Food

Verified Aug 23, 2026

Dog · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a veterinary therapeutic wet diet for adult dogs, designed to support heart health and also formulated with the needs of the liver and kidneys in mind. It uses chicken and pork liver as the main animal ingredients, with corn and rice providing additional energy, and has controlled protein, low sodium, and adjusted mineral levels. Added L-carnitine, taurine, omega-3s, and antioxidants round out the formula for dogs who need a carefully managed maintenance diet under veterinary supervision.

Vet-directed diet

This is a therapeutic diet, formulated for a specific medical condition under veterinary direction. KibbleLab does not assign it a general wellness score, because a therapeutic diet's nutrient targets are set clinically, not by maintenance standards. Your veterinarian selects the right therapeutic diet for your pet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Backed by AAFCO feeding trials for adult maintenance, which gives good reassurance about real-world digestibility and nutritional adequacy.
  • Formulated with low sodium and controlled phosphorus, calcium, and protein, which is often important for dogs with certain heart, liver, or kidney concerns.
  • Includes helpful functional nutrients like taurine, L-carnitine, omega-3 fatty acids, and a robust antioxidant package (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene).
  • Wet, ground texture can be easier to eat for older or ill dogs and allows precise portioning in a moderate-calorie, 13 oz can.

Considerations

  • Protein is on the lower side compared with many standard adult diets, which is appropriate for certain diseases but may not be ideal for healthy, very active dogs without those conditions.
  • Chicken, pork liver, fish oil, and whole grain corn are present, so this formula would not be suitable for dogs with known allergies to any of those ingredients.
  • This is intended as a prescription diet, so any long‑term use should be guided by your veterinarian to be sure it fits your dog’s specific heart, liver, or kidney status.

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
Whole Grain Corn
Whole grain corn is commonly used as a carbohydrate and energy source in pet foods, providing digestible starch, dietary fiber, some protein, and B vitamins and minerals while retaining more nutrients than refined corn. It is generally economical and well-tolerated by most dogs and many cats, but because cats are obligate carnivores animal-based proteins are nutritionally more important, and pets with grain sensitivities, certain metabolic conditions, or requirements for low-carbohydrate diets may need alternatives; proper sourcing and processing also reduce mycotoxin risk and improve digestibility.
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.
