Verified Aug 21, 2026
This is a canned, chunky duck stew designed as a complete and balanced meal or topper for adult dogs. Duck is the main protein source, with lentils and pumpkin contributing fiber and carbohydrates, and added New Zealand green mussel supporting a joint-friendly nutrient profile. The high moisture content can help with hydration, especially for dogs that don’t drink a lot of water on their own.

Strong Choice
This wet food is a simple, duck-based stew formulated for adult dogs, including those with some food sensitivities who do better on fewer protein sources. It offers moderate protein and fat with very high moisture, making it well suited as either a full meal or a topper over dry food. The use of lentils and pumpkin adds fiber, while green mussel offers naturally occurring joint-support nutrients.

Where these benefits come from
Benefits the manufacturer highlights in its own product marketing. KibbleLab lists them for reference and does not verify these claims.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Duck as the first ingredient gives a clear, named animal protein source for your dog.
- High moisture content can be helpful for dogs that benefit from extra water in their diet.
- Pumpkin and ginger may gently support regular digestion in some dogs.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance, so it is complete and balanced for adult dogs.
Considerations
- This recipe uses lentils as a carbohydrate source, and legume-heavy patterns in dog foods have been linked to heart issues in some dogs.
- Contains egg, which can be a trigger for dogs with known egg allergies.
- Protein level is moderate for a wet food, so very high-energy or working dogs may need larger portions or added calories.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Duck
Duck is used in pet food primarily as a flavorful animal protein and fat source, commonly included in limited-ingredient or novel-protein formulas for dogs and cats. It supplies high-quality amino acids and energy and can help pets with sensitivities to common proteins, but it is relatively rich in fat (so may be unsuitable for low‑fat or pancreatitis-prone animals), can still trigger allergies in some pets, and requires proper cooking/processing and handling to avoid bacterial contamination.

02
Duck Broth
Duck broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavorful liquid to boost palatability and moisture, and it can contribute modest amounts of amino acids and minerals depending on how it’s made. It can help entice picky dogs and cats and encourage hydration, but caregivers should check labels for high sodium, added onions/garlic or excessive fat, and avoid broths with bone fragments or if the animal has a poultry allergy or pancreatitis risk.
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
Porcine Plasma
Porcine plasma is a spray‑dried, blood‑derived ingredient used in pet foods and milk replacers as a highly digestible animal protein and palatability enhancer with useful binding and emulsifying properties. It supplies concentrated plasma proteins—including immunoglobulins and growth factors—that may support gut health and nutrient absorption (particularly in puppies and kittens), but because it is pork‑derived some pets with pork sensitivities or owners with dietary/religious concerns may prefer to avoid it; manufacturers typically process it to reduce pathogen risk.
05
Egg Product
Egg product is used in pet foods as a high-quality, highly digestible animal protein and palatability enhancer, providing complete essential amino acids, fats, vitamins (such as A, D and B12), minerals and choline, and it often serves as a binder or emulsifier when included as whole, dried or concentrated egg. It supplies bioavailable nutrients for dogs and cats but can be a food allergen for some individuals, may be higher in fat depending on yolk content, and should be properly processed (pasteurized or cooked) to reduce microbial risk.
