Lambarama Stew Wet Dog Food

Verified Jun 5, 2026

Dog · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a grain-free canned stew for dogs that uses lamb as the primary protein, supported by beef liver and egg for additional high-quality amino acids. It includes vegetables like carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, green beans, and pumpkin, plus added vitamins, minerals, and omega-rich oils to create a complete and balanced meal. The high moisture content makes it a good option for dogs who benefit from extra hydration or prefer a chunky, gravy-style texture.

KibbleLab Score
8.3 out of 10

This is a high-quality, grain-free wet food with lamb as the first ingredient and several other animal protein sources, making it suitable for puppies, adults, and even large-breed puppies when fed as directed. The formula is fully fortified with vitamins and chelated minerals and includes salmon and sunflower oils, which can help support skin and coat. It’s a good choice for dogs who like stews and for owners looking for a complete and balanced wet option, though the inclusion of peas means it may not be ideal as the sole long-term diet for breeds with known heart concerns on legume-heavy, grain-free foods.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Lamb as the first ingredient, with beef liver and egg providing additional, high-quality animal protein sources.
  • AAFCO complete and balanced for growth and maintenance, including large-breed puppy growth, which is less common for wet foods.
  • Good variety of vegetables (carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, green beans, pumpkin) plus added omega sources (salmon oil, sunflower oil) for broader nutrient coverage.
  • Uses chelated (proteinate) trace minerals, which can be more readily absorbed than basic mineral salts.

Considerations

  • Grain-free formula that includes peas; if you have a breed with a known predisposition to heart disease and you’re feeding grain-free foods exclusively, it’s worth discussing this choice with your veterinarian.
  • Contains lamb, beef, egg, and fish ingredients, so it’s not a good fit for dogs with known allergies to any of those common proteins.
  • As a high-moisture canned diet, calorie density per can is moderate; very large or highly active dogs may need a relatively high number of cans per day to meet their energy needs.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Lamb
Lamb is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a high-quality animal protein that supplies essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins and is often chosen for its palatability or as a “novel” protein in elimination diets. It can be higher in fat and calories than some other meats and may still cause allergic reactions in sensitive animals, so owners of overweight pets or those with food sensitivities should consult a veterinarian and use proper handling/cooking practices if feeding raw or homemade lamb.
02
Lamb Broth
Lamb broth is used in pet foods and toppers primarily as a flavorful, moisture-rich base or gravy to boost palatability and hydration, and it can contribute small amounts of animal protein, amino acids, and electrolytes. Pet parents should be aware that broths can be high in sodium or fat and may contain allergens or toxic seasonings (e.g., onion, garlic, xylitol), so choose low‑sodium, pet-safe formulations and consult a veterinarian for pets with dietary restrictions or sensitive stomachs.
03
Vegetable Broth
Vegetable broth is typically used in pet foods and toppers as a low-calorie flavor enhancer and source of moisture to improve palatability and encourage drinking, but it contributes negligible protein or fat. It can provide small amounts of vitamins and minerals depending on the vegetables used, yet pet owners should check labels for added salt, onion or garlic (toxic to dogs and cats), and other seasonings or preservatives that may be unsuitable for pets or sodium-restricted diets.
04
Beef Liver
Beef liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable, protein-rich, nutrient-dense ingredient that provides concentrated, bioavailable vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), heme iron, copper, and essential amino acids. While it supports blood health and overall nutrition, beef liver should be fed in moderation because excess vitamin A can cause toxicity, its richness may upset sensitive stomachs or contribute to pancreatitis in predisposed pets, and proper sourcing/processing is important to minimize contaminant or bacterial risks.
05
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.
