KibbleLab Score
8.1 out of 10

Strong Choice

This wet food offers a nice mix of lamb, chicken, and beef liver as primary protein sources, with moderate protein and fat levels that suit many adult dogs. It is energy-dense for a canned diet, so it can work well for dogs that need more calories in a smaller volume of food. The inclusion of peas and potatoes is reasonable here, but owners of dogs with known food sensitivities or with breeds at higher risk of heart disease may want to discuss this type of formulation with their veterinarian.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Lamb, chicken, and beef liver at the top of the ingredient list provide varied, high-quality animal protein sources.
  • Moderate protein and fat levels are appropriate for many adult dogs when fed in the right portions.
  • High moisture content can help support hydration, especially for dogs that don’t drink much water.
  • Includes flaxseed and sunflower oil, which supply beneficial fatty acids for skin and coat health.

Considerations

  • Contains lamb, chicken, and beef, which can be problematic for dogs with allergies to these common proteins.
  • Peas and potatoes are notable carbohydrate sources; some vets are cautious with legume-heavy diets in breeds prone to heart issues.
  • The high calorie density means overfeeding is easy if portions are not carefully measured.

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
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.
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
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.

05
Carrot
Carrot is used in pet foods as a vegetable ingredient providing fiber, moisture, texture and antioxidant nutrients such as beta‑carotene (a provitamin A), vitamin K, vitamin C and potassium, contributing to palatability and digestive bulk. Cooked carrots are more digestible and release more beta‑carotene, but cats cannot efficiently convert beta‑carotene to active vitamin A so carrots are more nutritionally useful for dogs than as a primary vitamin A source for cats; they should be fed in moderation due to natural sugars and should be offered in appropriately sized pieces to avoid choking.
