8.4 out of 10

Strong Choice

This wet lamb stew is a moisture-rich, limited-ingredient option formulated for adult dogs, including those with some food sensitivities who do well on lamb. Protein and fat levels are moderate for a canned food, which can work well for many average adult dogs. Its simple ingredient list and use of lamb as the primary protein make it a reasonable choice for owners looking for an alternative to more common proteins like chicken or beef.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Lamb and lamb liver provide clearly named animal protein sources that many dogs find palatable.
  • High moisture content can help support hydration, especially for dogs that don’t drink much water on their own.
  • Pumpkin and lentils add fiber, which can help support normal digestion in many dogs.
  • Formulated to be complete and balanced for adult maintenance according to AAFCO profiles, so it can be fed as a sole diet.

Considerations

  • This food is only formulated for adult maintenance, so it is not appropriate for growing puppies or pregnant or nursing dogs.
  • Lamb, egg, and lentils may be problematic for dogs with specific allergies or sensitivities to those ingredients.
  • Lentils appear in the ingredient list, so for breeds with known heart concerns, you may want to discuss grain-free, legume-containing diets with your veterinarian.

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
Lamb Liver
Lamb liver is an organ meat used as a nutrient-dense protein and flavor enhancer in pet foods and treats, supplying concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), iron, copper and high-quality amino acids important for both dogs and cats. It is highly palatable and can help prevent nutrient deficiencies, but should be fed in moderation because excessive liver intake can lead to vitamin A toxicity and digestive upset, and proper sourcing/handling is important to avoid foodborne pathogens.
05
Lentil
Lentils are a plant-based source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber and micronutrients (notably folate and iron) commonly used in pet foods to add bulk, promote satiety and help moderate post-meal blood sugar. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs when properly processed and balanced with animal-derived amino acids, but lentil protein is less digestible and incomplete for obligate carnivores like cats; high legume inclusion can also increase gas or digestive upset and has been discussed in the context of diet-associated heart concerns in dogs, so lentils should be used in nutritionally complete, vetted formulations.
