Beef, Beef Liver & Kale In Broth Signature Stew Wet Dog Food
Verified Jun 15, 2026
This is a moisture-rich wet food and topper designed for puppies and adult dogs, featuring beef and beef liver as the main animal protein sources. The recipe includes kale, pumpkin, and added vitamins and minerals to provide complete and balanced nutrition for all life stages, except large-breed growth. Its stew-in-broth texture can work well for dogs who enjoy softer foods or need extra hydration.
This is a high-quality wet diet built around beef and beef liver, offering a good animal protein source in a palatable stew format. It’s formulated to be complete and balanced for most puppies and adults, which makes it flexible as a main meal or as a topper over kibble. It’s not appropriate as a sole diet for large-breed puppies, and the relatively modest protein and fat levels may not suit very high-energy dogs on this food alone.

At a Glance
What "not formulated for" means
Life stages this food isn't certified complete and balanced for, based on its AAFCO statement.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Beef and beef liver are the primary ingredients, providing highly digestible animal protein and natural sources of many vitamins and minerals.
- Complete and balanced to AAFCO standards for all life stages except large-breed growth, so it can be used for both puppies and adults in most cases.
- Very high moisture content (83%), which can help support hydration, especially for dogs that don’t drink much water on their own.
- Includes salmon oil and other added fats that can contribute beneficial omega fatty acids for skin, coat, and overall health.
Considerations
- Not suitable as the only diet for large-breed puppies (over about 70 lb as adults), so those dogs should be on a large-breed–specific growth formula instead.
- Contains beef, beef liver, and salmon oil, which can be problem ingredients for dogs with known beef or fish allergies.
- Protein (11% as-fed) and fat (3% as-fed) are moderate for a wet food; very active or working dogs may need additional calories or a higher-calorie companion diet.
- Uses several thickeners (xanthan gum, guar gum), which are safe for most dogs but can occasionally cause soft stool in very sensitive individuals.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Beef Broth
Beef broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a savory flavoring and moisture enhancer to boost palatability and encourage hydration, and depending on preparation can contribute small amounts of protein, minerals and gelatin-derived collagen. Care should be taken because commercial broths are often high in sodium and may contain added ingredients (onion, garlic, spices, preservatives or sweeteners) that can be harmful to dogs or cats, so choose low-sodium, pet-safe formulations and avoid if your pet has a beef allergy or sodium-sensitive condition.
02
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.
03
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.
04
Kale
Kale is a cruciferous leafy green used in pet foods as a source of fiber, vitamins (A, C and K), minerals (such as calcium and potassium) and antioxidants, providing low‑calorie bulk and micronutrient support when added in small amounts. Because kale contains goitrogens, oxalates and other compounds that can cause gastrointestinal upset or, if fed excessively, interfere with thyroid function or contribute to urinary/kidney issues (and rarely hemolytic problems), it should be offered sparingly, prepared plain (cooked or finely chopped) and never seasoned with toxic ingredients like onion or garlic.
05
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is used in pet foods primarily as a fiber-rich carbohydrate and moisture source that can help regulate digestion and firm up loose stools or add bulk for softer stools, and it provides beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) plus small amounts of vitamins and minerals for dogs and cats. It is safe and beneficial when plain cooked or canned (not spiced or sweetened pie filling), should be fed in moderation as a supplement rather than a primary food, and introduced gradually since large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset or interfere with absorption of some medications.
