10.0 out of 10

Top Pick

This is a high-quality wet food for adult dogs, especially those who need a gentler option for digestion and consistent skin and coat support. The protein level is moderate for a wet food, and it comes from a mix of named meats and organ meat, which offer a good amino acid profile and extra vitamins. It’s also backed by AAFCO feeding trials, which is a strong plus for digestibility and overall nutritional reliability.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Uses named animal proteins (turkey, chicken, pork liver) near the top of the ingredient list, providing good-quality, highly digestible protein.
  • Formulated for adult maintenance and verified by AAFCO feeding trials, which gives added confidence in real-world digestibility and nutrient balance.
  • Includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, and vitamin C at meaningful levels to support skin, coat, and immune function.
  • Wet, stew texture can be easier to eat and can help with moisture intake for dogs that don’t drink much water.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken and soy (soybean oil), which can be problem ingredients for dogs with known allergies or sensitivities to these components.
  • Carbohydrates make up a notable portion of the diet on a dry-matter basis, which is fine for most pets but may not suit owners specifically seeking a very low-carb formula.
  • This formula is intended for adult maintenance only and is not appropriate as the sole diet for puppies or pregnant/lactating dogs.

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
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.

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.
View ingredient
04
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.
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.
