Verified Jun 17, 2026
This is a gently cooked, stew-style wet dog food designed as either a complete meal or a topper for adult dogs. It uses beef and chicken as the main protein sources, with rice, pumpkin, and carrots providing easily digestible carbohydrates and fiber. The formula also includes animal plasma and added prebiotic FOS to help support healthy digestion and overall gut function.
A well-formulated wet food or topper for adult dogs, this recipe offers animal-based proteins from beef and chicken with moderate fat and moisture typical of a stew-style product. The inclusion of rice, pumpkin, and carrots can be gentle on many dogs’ stomachs, and added prebiotic FOS plus animal plasma aligns with its gut health focus. It’s best suited for healthy adult dogs; it is not formulated for puppies or pregnant/lactating dogs despite broader marketing language.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Complete and balanced to AAFCO standards for adult maintenance, so it can be fed as a full diet or as a topper for adult dogs.
- Beef and chicken provide high-quality animal protein, with beef bone broth contributing palatability and hydration.
- Rice, pumpkin, and carrots supply digestible carbohydrates and fiber that many sensitive-stomach dogs tolerate well.
- Includes animal plasma and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which can help support gut health and a healthy intestinal environment.
Considerations
- Formulated only for adult maintenance, so it is not appropriate as the sole diet for puppies or pregnant/lactating dogs, even though general wording suggests it’s for all life stages.
- Contains both beef and chicken, which are among the most common protein allergens in dogs and may not suit dogs with known food allergies to these proteins.
- Fat content is on the lower side for many active adult dogs, so very high-energy dogs may need higher-calorie support from other foods if using this as the primary diet.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.
02
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.
03
Beef Bone Broth
Beef bone broth is used in pet foods and as a topper to add moisture, savory flavor and small amounts of soluble collagen, gelatin, minerals and amino acids, making it a palatability and hydration enhancer for dogs and cats. It may support hydration and gut or joint comfort through gelatinous proteins, but it should not replace a balanced diet and caregivers should choose low‑sodium, additive‑free pet-safe broths and avoid products with seasonings or bone fragments, especially for pets with beef allergies.
04
Rice
Rice is a common carbohydrate source and binder in dog and cat foods, supplying readily digestible energy and often used in formulations for sensitive stomachs or hypoallergenic diets. White rice is gentle and easy to digest while brown rice provides more fiber and micronutrients, but rice is low in essential amino acids, has a relatively high glycemic index, and can accumulate trace arsenic, so it should not be relied on as a primary protein and portions should be considered for diabetic or weight‑management pets.
05
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.
