Meaty Lamb, Green Bean & Carrot Stew Wet Dog Food
Verified Jun 4, 2026
This is a grain-free canned stew for adult dogs, featuring lamb as the primary protein source along with beef liver and egg for additional high-quality protein. Green beans, carrots, peas, and tomato add some fiber and plant nutrients, while sunflower oil contributes essential fatty acids. Its moderate protein and fat levels make it a reasonable option for many adult dogs who do well on a moist, stew-style diet.
Overall, this is a nicely balanced wet food for adult dogs, with lamb, beef liver, and egg providing a good mix of animal proteins. The formula uses vegetables and tapioca starch instead of grains for carbohydrates, which can suit dogs whose owners prefer a grain-free option. It should work well for many healthy adult dogs who enjoy a stew texture and do not have issues with lamb, beef, or egg proteins.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Real lamb as the first ingredient, supported by beef liver and dried egg product for a good variety of high-quality animal protein sources.
- Moisture-rich stew format, which can help support hydration and is often very palatable for picky eaters.
- Relatively low fiber and moderate fat, which can be easier on digestion for many adult dogs.
- Free from corn, wheat, and soy, which may help if you are trying to avoid those specific ingredients.
Considerations
- Contains lamb, beef liver, and egg, all of which are common protein allergens, so it is not ideal for dogs with known sensitivities to these ingredients.
- Grain-free formula that uses peas as part of the carbohydrate blend; while peas are not very high in the list here, some owners of breeds at risk for heart disease may prefer to limit legume-containing, grain-free diets.
- Protein content at 10% as-fed is typical for wet foods but on the moderate side on a dry-matter basis; very high-activity dogs might do better with a higher-protein overall diet.

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
Pork Broth
Pork broth is typically used in pet foods and treats as a flavoring, palatant and moisture enhancer to improve aroma and encourage eating, and may contribute small amounts of protein, fat and minerals depending on preparation. It can help increase palatability and hydration, but owners should watch for high sodium or fat content and added seasonings (e.g., onion, garlic, or other additives) and avoid it for pets on sodium‑ or fat‑restricted diets or with pork sensitivities.
03
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavorful liquid base or gravy to improve palatability and add moisture, providing modest amounts of soluble protein, electrolytes and minerals. It can help encourage eating and increase hydration, but owners should choose low‑sodium, onion‑ and garlic‑free formulations (or make homemade broth), since commercial broths may contain excessive salt, seasonings or additives that are unsafe or unsuitable for dogs and cats.
04
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.
05
Green Bean
Green beans are a low-calorie vegetable commonly used in pet foods and treats as a source of soluble and insoluble fiber, moisture, and modest amounts of vitamins and minerals (such as vitamins A and K, folate, and potassium), helping support digestive health and weight management. They are not a primary protein source and provide limited nutrition for obligate carnivores like cats, so feed in moderation and use plain, cooked or fresh beans without added salt, seasonings, or sauces to avoid gastrointestinal upset or excess sodium.
