Dog · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a canned, chunky-in-gravy beef stew formulated as a complete and balanced everyday food for adult dogs. It uses beef and beef liver as the main protein sources, with carrots, potatoes, and peas providing additional nutrients and fiber. Added salmon and sunflower oils contribute beneficial fatty acids, and it includes a full vitamin and mineral premix for daily nutrition.

KibbleLab Score
8.1 out of 10

Overall this is a high-quality wet food option for adult dogs, with named beef and beef liver as primary ingredients and a straightforward, stew-style recipe. The nutrient profile is typical for a canned food, offering moderate protein and fat once you account for the high moisture content. It should suit most healthy adult dogs who do well on beef-based diets and can be fed alone or mixed with dry food.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Named animal proteins (beef and beef liver) are the main ingredients, which supports good-quality, highly digestible protein.
  • Includes salmon oil and sunflower oil, which can provide omega fatty acids that support skin, coat, and overall health.
  • Contains recognizable vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and peas for added nutrients and fiber, without unnecessary artificial colors or flavors listed.
  • Complete and balanced formulation for adult dogs, so it can be used as a sole diet or mixed with other appropriate foods.

Considerations

  • Beef and egg are common protein allergens for some dogs, so this recipe would not be appropriate for pets with known sensitivities to those ingredients.
  • Peas appear in the ingredient list; while this is not a grain-free dry food (where DCM concerns are highest), owners of breeds with heart issues may still prefer to discuss legume-containing diets with their veterinarian.
  • As with most wet foods, the protein percentage looks low on the label because of the high moisture content; dogs needing very high protein intake may do better with a higher-protein formula or combining with an appropriate dry food.

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
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.
03
Water
Water is an essential nutrient and the primary solvent and moisture component in pet foods, especially wet and canned diets, and is also used in processing and to adjust texture and palatability. It is vital for digestion, nutrient transport, temperature regulation and waste removal in dogs and cats; pets must have constant access to clean water as dehydration can quickly lead to serious health issues and requirements increase with activity, heat, or illness, while moisture in wet food can help meet part of their daily needs.
04
Beef Liver
Beef liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable, protein-rich, nutrient-dense ingredient that provides concentrated, bioavailable vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), heme iron, copper, and essential amino acids. While it supports blood health and overall nutrition, beef liver should be fed in moderation because excess vitamin A can cause toxicity, its richness may upset sensitive stomachs or contribute to pancreatitis in predisposed pets, and proper sourcing/processing is important to minimize contaminant or bacterial risks.
05
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.
