Savory Lamb Stew Wet Dog Food

Verified May 20, 2026

Dog · Wet Puppy Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a moist lamb-based stew for dogs that uses lamb, chicken, and egg ingredients as its main protein sources, with carrots, brown rice, and tapioca providing carbohydrates. The formula is relatively moderate in protein and fat for a wet food and includes added vitamins, minerals, and fish oil for overall nutritional balance. It can be used as a complete meal for puppies and adults or as a topper to enhance palatability for picky eaters.

8.9 out of 10

Strong Choice

Overall, this is a solid, mid-range wet food that offers multiple animal protein sources and a fairly straightforward ingredient list. It should work well for many healthy adult dogs and puppies who tolerate chicken, lamb, and egg, and it can be especially useful to boost moisture intake or entice finicky eaters. The protein level is modest for a wet food, and it does rely somewhat on pea protein and tapioca as supplemental calorie sources, which some owners may want to keep in mind.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Multiple identifiable animal proteins (lamb, chicken, egg ingredients) provide a good mix of amino acids for most dogs.
  • Includes brown rice and carrots, which are generally gentle carbohydrate and fiber sources for many dogs.
  • Contains fish oil, which is a useful source of omega-3 fatty acids to support skin, coat, and overall health.
  • Wet, stew-style texture can help increase water intake and is often easier for dogs with dental or chewing issues to manage.

Considerations

  • Chicken, lamb, egg, and fish are all present, so this is not suitable for dogs with common protein allergies to these ingredients.
  • Pea protein and tapioca contribute to the protein and calorie content; while not harmful in this context, they are less nutrient-dense than animal proteins.
  • The as-fed protein level (9%) is on the moderate side for a wet food, which is fine for many dogs but may be lower than ideal for very active or underweight dogs needing higher protein support.
  • Contains caramel color and menadione sodium bisulfite (a synthetic vitamin K source), which are nutritionally acceptable but sometimes avoided by more ingredient-conscious owners.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.
02
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.

03
Egg Product
Egg product is used in pet foods as a high-quality, highly digestible animal protein and palatability enhancer, providing complete essential amino acids, fats, vitamins (such as A, D and B12), minerals and choline, and it often serves as a binder or emulsifier when included as whole, dried or concentrated egg. It supplies bioavailable nutrients for dogs and cats but can be a food allergen for some individuals, may be higher in fat depending on yolk content, and should be properly processed (pasteurized or cooked) to reduce microbial risk.
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
Egg White
Egg white is a highly digestible, low‑fat, high‑quality protein source in pet foods, supplying concentrated albumin and essential amino acids that support muscle maintenance and growth in dogs and cats. It provides a lean protein alternative to meat but lacks the vitamins and fats of the yolk, can be an allergen for some pets, and raw egg white contains avidin (which can interfere with biotin) and may carry salmonella risk, so cooked or pasteurized forms are preferred.
