KibbleLab Score
8.8 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a well-formulated, grain-free wet food that’s complete and balanced for puppies, adults, and even large-breed growth, which is not something all canned foods can claim. It uses chicken and chicken liver for high-quality protein and includes a nice mix of vegetables and prebiotic fiber. It’s a good option for dogs who do well on chicken and for owners looking for a grain-free wet food to feed alone or mix with dry kibble.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Complete and balanced for all life stages, including large-breed puppies, which makes it versatile for multi-dog households.
  • Chicken and chicken liver provide highly digestible animal protein and important nutrients like iron and B vitamins.
  • Includes sweet potato, pumpkin, carrots, spinach, and inulin, which can support healthy digestion and provide natural vitamins and fiber.
  • Moderate fat level for a wet food, which can suit many average-activity dogs when fed in appropriate portions.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken and chicken liver, so it is not suitable for dogs with chicken allergies or sensitivities.
  • This is a grain-free recipe, which is not necessary for most dogs and may not be ideal for some pets that do well with grain-inclusive diets.
  • Paté texture is soft and uniform, which some dogs may eat very quickly; monitoring portion control is important to avoid excess calories.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.

02
Fish Broth
Fish broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavor and moisture enhancer, providing modest amounts of fish-derived protein, amino acids, minerals and sometimes trace omega‑3s but not serving as a primary source of complete nutrition. It can improve hydration and entice picky, senior, or ill dogs and cats to eat, but caregivers should watch for high sodium, added seasonings (especially onion or garlic), potential fish allergies, and variable quality depending on processing.
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
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
05
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.
