Chicken and Rice Formula Pate Wet Dog Food
Verified Jun 14, 2026
This is an all–life stage chicken and rice canned pate for dogs, designed to work as a complete meal or a topper. It uses chicken and chicken liver as the primary animal protein sources, with brown rice, barley, and oatmeal providing additional carbohydrates and fiber. Added omega fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals round out the formula for growing puppies and adult dogs, excluding large-breed puppies.
Overall, this is a solid quality canned diet suitable for puppies and adult dogs, as long as they are not large-breed puppies. It offers named chicken and chicken liver as primary proteins, plus a mix of grains and added omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. It’s a good option if you like the moisture and palatability of canned food for everyday feeding or as a topper, and you don’t need a large-breed puppy formula.

At a Glance
What "not formulated for" means
Life stages this food isn't certified complete and balanced for, based on its AAFCO statement.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Chicken and chicken liver are early in the ingredient list, providing good-quality, highly digestible animal protein.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for growth and maintenance (except large-breed growth), so it can be used for both puppies and adults.
- Includes multiple whole grains (brown rice, barley, oatmeal) and flaxseed meal, which can support steady energy and bring some natural fiber and omega-3s.
- Contains both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, plus added vitamins and minerals for a balanced canned diet.
Considerations
- Not appropriate for large-breed puppies, so if your dog will be 70 lb or more as an adult, you’ll need a different growth formula.
- Chicken, egg, and fish oil are present, so this food is not suitable for dogs with known allergies to these ingredients.
- Carrageenan and gums are used as thickeners; they are common and generally recognized as safe in canned foods, but a few very sensitive dogs may not tolerate them as well.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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.
02
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavorful liquid base or gravy to improve palatability and add moisture, providing modest amounts of soluble protein, electrolytes and minerals. It can help encourage eating and increase hydration, but owners should choose low‑sodium, onion‑ and garlic‑free formulations (or make homemade broth), since commercial broths may contain excessive salt, seasonings or additives that are unsafe or unsuitable for dogs and cats.
03
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.
04
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.
05
Egg Product
Egg product is used in pet foods as a high-quality, highly digestible animal protein and palatability enhancer, providing complete essential amino acids, fats, vitamins (such as A, D and B12), minerals and choline, and it often serves as a binder or emulsifier when included as whole, dried or concentrated egg. It supplies bioavailable nutrients for dogs and cats but can be a food allergen for some individuals, may be higher in fat depending on yolk content, and should be properly processed (pasteurized or cooked) to reduce microbial risk.
