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

  • Formulated as a true low-fat diet (about 7.8% fat on a dry-matter basis) while still providing adequate protein for adult maintenance.
  • Backed by AAFCO feeding trials for adult maintenance, which supports both nutrient balance and real-world digestibility.
  • Uses rice and whole grain corn as primary carbohydrate sources, which are typically well tolerated and provide steady energy.
  • Includes added taurine, L-carnitine, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin C, and prebiotic-type fibers to support gut health and overall wellness.

Considerations

  • Contains pork, turkey giblets, egg, chicken liver flavor, corn, and soy, which are common protein sources and could be problematic for dogs with specific food allergies to any of these ingredients.
  • This is a prescription therapeutic diet intended for dogs needing low-fat and digestive support, so it should be used under veterinary guidance rather than as a general everyday choice for healthy dogs.
  • Relatively high carbohydrate content on a dry-matter basis may not suit dogs that require very low-carb or high-protein diets for other medical reasons.

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
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.

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
Turkey Giblet
Turkey giblets (commonly hearts, livers, gizzards and sometimes neck) are used in pet foods as a flavorful animal protein source and palatability enhancer, supplying concentrated protein, B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and other trace minerals. They are nutrient-dense for both dogs and cats but should be included in balanced amounts because liver is very high in vitamin A and can cause hypervitaminosis if overused, may trigger poultry allergies in sensitive animals, and must be properly processed to minimize bacterial contamination.
05
Pork By-Product
Pork by-product is a common protein and flavoring ingredient in pet foods made from non-rendered portions of the pig such as organs, connective tissue and trimmings, supplying animal protein, fat, B vitamins, iron and other trace minerals that help support energy, muscle maintenance and overall nutrition for dogs and cats. Because composition and fat content can vary by source, owners should be aware of potential pork sensitivities, higher caloric density, and sourcing/quality differences; ensure the complete diet meets species-specific requirements (for example, cats need adequate taurine) and consult the manufacturer or your veterinarian if you have concerns.
