Dog · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

A canned stew-style food for adult dogs, this formula uses chicken and pork liver as the main animal protein sources with rice, peas, and vegetables for carbohydrates and fiber. It includes a blend of prebiotic fibers like beet pulp, citrus pulp, and pumpkin to support digestive health and a balanced gut microbiome. The nutrient profile is moderate in protein and fat for an adult maintenance diet, with added omega fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals for overall wellness.

Top Pick

This is a well-designed wet food for healthy adult dogs, especially those where you’d like to support comfortable digestion and stool quality. The protein and fat levels are appropriate for an adult maintenance diet, and Hill’s typically formulates with good digestibility in mind. It’s a good everyday option for most adult dogs that tolerate chicken well and benefit from extra moisture in their diet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken and pork liver provide high-quality, highly digestible animal protein, with a solid dry-matter protein level around 26%.
  • Multiple prebiotic fiber sources (beet pulp, citrus pulp, pumpkin, flaxseed, oat fiber, pecan shells) are included to support a healthy gut microbiome and regular stools.
  • Balanced omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from fish oil and flaxseed can help support skin, coat, and overall health.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance, giving confidence it supplies complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs.

Considerations

  • Contains several chicken-based ingredients, so it is not suitable for dogs with chicken allergies or sensitivities.
  • Carbohydrate content is moderately high for a wet food, which is fine for most dogs but may not be ideal if you’re specifically seeking a very low-carb, high-protein formula.
  • Includes peas, which are fine for most dogs, but if you are intentionally avoiding legumes due to personal preference or breed-specific heart concerns, this is something to be aware of.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.
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.
View ingredient
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.
