Canada Fresh Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Wet Dog Food
Verified Jul 19, 2026
This is a limited-ingredient, plant-based canned diet for adult dogs that relies on pea protein, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and navy beans rather than meat as its main protein sources. It’s designed as a complete and balanced option, with added salmon oil for essential fatty acids and a full vitamin–mineral premix. The moderate protein and fat levels may suit dogs that do well on a lower-animal-protein formula or have some animal-protein sensitivities.

Top Pick
Nutritionally, this is a complete and balanced, veggie-focused canned food that uses legumes and pea protein instead of meat as the main protein sources. It can be an option for adult dogs who need or prefer a mostly plant-based formula, and the added salmon oil helps supply important fatty acids. However, the heavy reliance on peas and beans and the absence of a substantial animal protein source mean it may not be ideal for very active dogs or those who do best on higher animal protein diets.

Strengths
- Formulated as a limited-ingredient, complete and balanced diet for adult dogs.
- Uses pumpkin and sweet potato, which can be gentle carbohydrate and fiber sources for many dogs.
- Includes salmon oil, which provides beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.
- Canned, high-moisture format can help support hydration, especially for dogs that don’t drink much water.
Considerations
- Pea protein and navy beans are the primary proteins, so overall animal protein content is quite low.
- Legume-heavy formulas may not be ideal for some dogs, especially breeds with emerging concerns around diet-associated heart disease.
- Dogs that thrive on higher-protein or meat-rich diets may not do as well on this plant-forward recipe.
- If your dog has a known fish allergy, the salmon oil could be an issue.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Broth
Broth is commonly used in pet food and as a meal topper to add moisture, flavor and minor soluble nutrients (electrolytes, gelatin/collagen and small amounts of protein) to increase palatability and support hydration in both dogs and cats. It can be beneficial for picky eaters or convalescing pets, but caregivers should choose low‑sodium, pet‑safe formulations and avoid broths containing onion, garlic, excessive fat, bouillon cubes or other additives that can be toxic or cause gastrointestinal upset.
02
Pea Protein
Pea protein is a concentrated plant-based protein and functional ingredient in pet foods used to raise protein levels, improve texture and contribute soluble fiber, vitamins and minerals. It can be a useful, digestible protein source for dogs and a supplemental protein in some cat formulas, but because it is lower in certain essential amino acids (and cats are obligate carnivores), diets relying heavily on pea protein should be formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles and owners should note potential legume sensitivities and the debated link between high‑pulse, grain‑free diets and canine heart concerns.
03
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.

04
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.

05
Salmon Oil
Salmon oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated source of fat and long‑chain omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) to support skin and coat condition, reduce inflammation, and aid joint, cardiac and cognitive health in both dogs and cats (cats particularly benefit from preformed DHA). Because it is calorie‑dense and prone to oxidation, choose stabilized, quality‑tested salmon oil from reputable sources to avoid rancidity and contaminants, and consult your veterinarian for appropriate dosing or if your pet has a fish allergy.
