This is a grain-free canned pâté for dogs that uses salmon, redfish, turkey, and turkey liver as its main animal protein sources. It includes chickpea flour and flaxseed, plus added prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics to support digestion. The formula is complete and balanced for all life stages, including large-breed puppies, and can be used as a full diet or mixed with dry food.

KibbleLab Score
8.5 out of 10

Strong Choice

Nutritionally, this is a solid grain-free wet option with multiple fish and poultry proteins and a moderate fat level, suitable for most dogs, including large-breed puppies. The added prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics are a nice bonus for gut health. Because it is grain-free and uses chickpea flour, I would be cautious using it as the only long-term diet in breeds where diet-associated heart disease has been a concern.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Multiple animal protein sources, including salmon, redfish, turkey, and liver, provide a good range of amino acids.
  • Complete and balanced for all life stages, including large-breed growth, which many canned foods do not cover.
  • Added prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, and yeast ingredients may help support a healthy gut microbiome.
  • Moderate protein and fat for a canned food can work well for dogs who don’t need an ultra-rich formula.

Considerations

  • Contains fish and turkey, which can be problem ingredients for dogs with fish or poultry allergies.
  • This is a grain-free formula that relies on chickpea flour, so I’d be cautious using it as the sole long-term diet in breeds prone to heart issues.
  • As a pâté-style wet food, it is more calorie-dense per bite than it looks, so portion control is important.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.
View ingredient
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
Redfish
Redfish is used in pet foods as a high‑quality animal protein and source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA), B vitamins and minerals, helping to support muscle maintenance, skin and coat health, and general anti‑inflammatory benefits for dogs and cats. It should be properly sourced and processed to remove bones and minimize contaminants (e.g., mercury), can be an allergen for some pets, and formulations should ensure balanced amino acids and nutrients—particularly for cats that require adequate taurine—so check label sourcing and processing information.
View ingredient
04
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.
View ingredient
05
Turkey Liver
Turkey liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods as a protein-rich, palatability-enhancing ingredient and a concentrated source of vitamins and minerals—particularly vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12), iron, and copper. It offers nutritional benefits for metabolism and skin/coat health but should be included in moderation within a balanced diet to avoid vitamin A excess and high purine intake, and must be properly handled or cooked to reduce foodborne risks.
