KibbleLab Score
8.0 out of 10

A well-formulated wet maintenance diet for adult and senior dogs, using nutrient-dense organ and by-product ingredients and backed by a reputable manufacturer. The protein and fat levels are appropriate for a canned maintenance food, and it’s suitable as a primary diet or as a topper to increase moisture and palatability. It may work especially well for dogs that benefit from a softer texture or added hydration, provided they tolerate chicken, pork, and wheat.

The KibbleLab Score (1–10) is assessed from publicly available product data. Our evaluation is science-based, not marketing-based.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Complete and balanced according to AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance, so it can be fed as a sole diet for adult and senior dogs.
  • Relies on chicken and pork by-products and liver, which are organ-rich ingredients that naturally provide many essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
  • Contains fish oil, which is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids that support skin, coat, and overall wellness.
  • Loaf-style canned texture is helpful for dogs that need softer food, extra moisture, or encouragement to eat.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken, pork, and wheat, which can be problem ingredients for dogs with known food allergies or sensitivities to these proteins or gluten-containing grains.
  • Moderate protein level for a wet food; very active or working dogs may need additional calories or a higher-protein diet overall.
  • Uses several gelling agents (carrageenan, guar gum, carob bean gum), which are safe but can occasionally cause softer stools in some sensitive dogs.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Water
Water is an essential nutrient and the primary solvent and moisture component in pet foods, especially wet and canned diets, and is also used in processing and to adjust texture and palatability. It is vital for digestion, nutrient transport, temperature regulation and waste removal in dogs and cats; pets must have constant access to clean water as dehydration can quickly lead to serious health issues and requirements increase with activity, heat, or illness, while moisture in wet food can help meet part of their daily needs.
02
Chicken By-Product
Chicken by-product is a common protein ingredient in pet foods made from edible parts of the bird not typically consumed by people—such as organs (liver, heart), necks and other tissues—and is used to add protein, flavor and nutrient density. It can provide concentrated protein, essential amino acids, B vitamins and minerals (and may contribute taurine when organ meats are included), but composition and quality vary by source, so pet parents concerned about sourcing, higher ash/fat content or chicken allergies should check the manufacturer’s labeling and quality standards.
03
Pork By-Product
Pork by-product is a common protein and flavoring ingredient in pet foods made from non-rendered portions of the pig such as organs, connective tissue and trimmings, supplying animal protein, fat, B vitamins, iron and other trace minerals that help support energy, muscle maintenance and overall nutrition for dogs and cats. Because composition and fat content can vary by source, owners should be aware of potential pork sensitivities, higher caloric density, and sourcing/quality differences; ensure the complete diet meets species-specific requirements (for example, cats need adequate taurine) and consult the manufacturer or your veterinarian if you have concerns.
04
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
05
Pork Liver
Pork liver is an organ meat used in pet foods as a nutrient‑dense source of high‑quality protein and concentrated vitamins and minerals—notably vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12 and folate), iron and copper—that support red blood cell production, skin/coat condition and overall metabolism. Because liver is very rich in vitamin A and certain minerals, it should be included in limited amounts to avoid hypervitaminosis A or mineral imbalances and must be properly processed to reduce pathogen risk; pets with urinary stone issues or a pork sensitivity should use caution.
