Simmered Salmon & Chicken One Pot Stew Wet Dog Food

Verified May 25, 2026

Dog · Wet Puppy Adult All Breed Sizes

This gently cooked wet stew is designed as a complete meal or topper for puppies and adult dogs, featuring salmon, chicken, and pollock as its main protein sources. Brown rice provides digestible carbohydrates, while added oils and kelp contribute essential fatty acids and micronutrients. The moderate protein and fat levels make it a softer, palatable option for many dogs, including picky eaters.

KibbleLab Score
8.2 out of 10

This is a high-quality wet food with multiple named fish and chicken proteins and brown rice as a digestible carbohydrate source, suitable for both puppies and adult dogs. The moisture-rich stew format can be very appealing and helpful for dogs that benefit from extra hydration or need a softer texture. It’s a good fit as a complete meal for many dogs or as a flavorful topper to boost palatability and moisture in a dry food diet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Multiple named animal proteins (salmon, chicken, pollock) high in the ingredient list provide good-quality amino acids for growth and maintenance.
  • Includes brown rice and small amounts of peas and broccoli for digestible carbohydrates and fiber, rather than relying heavily on legumes.
  • Added sunflower and coconut oils plus fish ingredients can support omega fatty acid intake, which is helpful for skin and coat health.
  • Wet, gently cooked stew format offers high moisture and a soft texture that can be easier to eat for some dogs and can help with overall water intake.

Considerations

  • Contains both fish and chicken, which are common food allergens in some dogs, so it may not be suitable for dogs with known sensitivities to these proteins.
  • As a wet food at about 231 kcal per box, larger or very active dogs may require several boxes per day, so owners need to be attentive to total daily calories when using it as a full diet or as a topper.
  • Peas are present in the ingredient list; while they are not dominant here, owners of breeds with known heart concerns may prefer to be cautious with legume-containing diets.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Fish Broth
Fish broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavor and moisture enhancer, providing modest amounts of fish-derived protein, amino acids, minerals and sometimes trace omega‑3s but not serving as a primary source of complete nutrition. It can improve hydration and entice picky, senior, or ill dogs and cats to eat, but caregivers should watch for high sodium, added seasonings (especially onion or garlic), potential fish allergies, and variable quality depending on processing.
02
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.
03
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.
04
Pollock
Pollock is a lean white fish commonly used in pet foods as an easily digestible animal protein that boosts palatability and supplies essential amino acids. It provides some omega‑3 fatty acids and is generally low in contaminants compared with larger predatory fish, but can be an allergen for sensitive animals and must be properly processed and balanced (e.g., for taurine in cat diets) and preserved to prevent rancidity.
05
Brown Rice
Brown rice is a whole-grain carbohydrate and fiber ingredient commonly used in dog and cat foods to provide digestible energy, dietary fiber, and modest amounts of B‑vitamins and minerals; it typically offers more nutrients and fiber than white rice. It’s generally well tolerated and can help with sensitive stomachs, but because it is high in carbohydrates (not a primary protein source) and can contain trace inorganic arsenic depending on sourcing, it should be included in balanced formulations and monitored in overweight or diabetic pets.
