Stew Beef & Veggies Recipe in Gravy Wet Dog Food
Verified Aug 24, 2026
This is a canned, stew-style wet dog food for all life stages, using beef and tuna as the main animal protein sources in a chunky gravy. It includes vegetables like carrots, green beans, and pumpkin for added fiber, along with several oils that provide omega fatty acids to support skin and coat. The formula is complete and balanced for puppies and adults, including large-breed puppies, and can be fed alone or mixed with dry food.

Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a solid all-life-stages wet food with moderate protein and fat for a canned diet and a good mix of animal proteins and vegetables. I like that it’s formulated to meet AAFCO profiles for all life stages, including large-breed growth, and that it supplies omega-3 and omega-6 fats from multiple oil sources. It’s a good option for dogs who enjoy stew-style wet food, whether as a full diet or a tasty topper, as long as they tolerate beef and fish well.

Strengths
- Complete and balanced for all life stages, including growth of large-breed puppies, which has stricter calcium and phosphorus requirements.
- Beef and tuna provide mixed animal protein sources, and the overall protein and fat levels are appropriate for a typical wet maintenance diet.
- Multiple omega-fatty-acid sources (sunflower, flaxseed, salmon, and avocado oils) support skin and coat health and overall fatty acid intake.
- Includes vegetables like carrots, green beans, pumpkin, spinach, and added inulin and seaweed, which can contribute fiber for digestive health.
Considerations
- Contains beef and fish (tuna and salmon oil), which are common protein allergens, so it’s not ideal for dogs with known sensitivities to those ingredients.
- Protein level is moderate rather than high for a canned food, so very high-energy or performance dogs may need larger portions or additional calorie-dense food to meet their needs.
- Uses tapioca starch and potato protein as part of the formula, which add carbohydrate and plant protein but don’t contribute the same amino acid profile as animal protein.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Beef Broth
Beef broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a savory flavoring and moisture enhancer to boost palatability and encourage hydration, and depending on preparation can contribute small amounts of protein, minerals and gelatin-derived collagen. Care should be taken because commercial broths are often high in sodium and may contain added ingredients (onion, garlic, spices, preservatives or sweeteners) that can be harmful to dogs or cats, so choose low-sodium, pet-safe formulations and avoid if your pet has a beef allergy or sodium-sensitive condition.
02
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.

03
Tuna
Tuna is commonly used in pet foods as a highly palatable animal protein and flavor enhancer, providing readily digestible protein and omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) along with B vitamins for both dogs and cats. While nutritionally beneficial, tuna can be high in mercury or sodium (especially canned), and feeding it exclusively or frequently may cause nutrient imbalances (including risks for thiamine or taurine issues in cats), so it should be offered in moderation as part of a complete, balanced diet.

04
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.

05
Green Bean
Green beans are a low-calorie vegetable commonly used in pet foods and treats as a source of soluble and insoluble fiber, moisture, and modest amounts of vitamins and minerals (such as vitamins A and K, folate, and potassium), helping support digestive health and weight management. They are not a primary protein source and provide limited nutrition for obligate carnivores like cats, so feed in moderation and use plain, cooked or fresh beans without added salt, seasonings, or sauces to avoid gastrointestinal upset or excess sodium.
