9.0 out of 10

Top Pick

Overall, this is a high-quality wet food with clearly identified animal proteins and a nice mix of whole-food ingredients, suitable for most dogs at any life stage. The protein and fat levels are appropriate for an all-life-stages wet diet, and the inclusion of salmon oil and organ meat is nutritionally beneficial. It’s a good option for owners looking for a gently cooked, moist food that can be fed alone or mixed with kibble, as long as their dog does well with turkey and rice.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Turkey, turkey liver, and turkey bone broth as leading ingredients provide high-quality, highly digestible animal protein and natural flavor.
  • Includes wholesome carbohydrate and fiber sources such as brown rice, pumpkin, spinach, apples, and carrots, which can support digestive health and provide phytonutrients.
  • Contains salmon oil and dried kelp, which supply beneficial omega fatty acids and trace minerals.
  • Wet, pâté texture and moderate calorie density (366 kcal per box) make it useful for increasing moisture intake and for mixing with dry food to improve palatability.

Considerations

  • Turkey and turkey liver are common animal proteins, so this food would not be appropriate for dogs with known poultry allergies or sensitivities.
  • Brown rice is included; while it’s usually well tolerated, this wouldn’t be the first choice for strict grain-free feeding preferences or for the rare dog that truly has a rice intolerance.
  • As a fully wet diet, portion sizes (1 box per 10 lb for adults) can be relatively large, so owners need to be comfortable handling and storing opened boxes properly.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.

02
Turkey Bone Broth
Turkey bone broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a palatability and moisture enhancer and provides supplemental collagen, gelatin, amino acids and trace minerals that may support hydration, appetite, joint and digestive health in dogs and cats. It should be offered as a supplement rather than a complete nutrition source, and must be low‑sodium and free of harmful seasonings (no onion, garlic, xylitol), with caution for high‑fat broths, bone fragments, or pets with pancreatitis, sodium‑sensitive conditions, or specific food allergies—consult your veterinarian if unsure.
03
Turkey Liver
Turkey liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods as a protein-rich, palatability-enhancing ingredient and a concentrated source of vitamins and minerals—particularly vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12), iron, and copper. It offers nutritional benefits for metabolism and skin/coat health but should be included in moderation within a balanced diet to avoid vitamin A excess and high purine intake, and must be properly handled or cooked to reduce foodborne risks.
04
Spinach
Spinach is used in pet foods as a leafy vegetable to provide fiber, moisture, and micronutrients such as vitamins A, C and K, folate, iron and antioxidant compounds, but it is not a primary protein source. While it can add low‑calorie nutrients and antioxidants to a dog or cat’s diet, spinach is high in oxalates (and can contain nitrates) which in large amounts may reduce mineral absorption or contribute to urinary/kidney issues in susceptible animals, so it should be fed in moderation and pets with specific health concerns should consult their veterinarian.

05
Apple
Apple is used in pet foods as a fruit ingredient that supplies soluble fiber (pectin), natural flavor, moisture, and small amounts of vitamins and antioxidants. It can support digestion and add low‑calorie sweetness, but seeds and cores should be avoided because of cyanogenic compounds, apples are relatively high in natural sugars so should be used in moderation (and washed to remove pesticides), and cats—being obligate carnivores—gain less nutritional benefit than dogs.
