Awesome Bouncy Chicken Breast & Riceberry Recipe Wet Dog Food

Verified Aug 18, 2026

Dog · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a broth-based wet food for adult dogs featuring boneless, skinless chicken breast as the main protein source, with brown rice and riceberry as the primary carbohydrates. It includes flaxseed, chia seed, fish oil, turmeric, ginger, and green-lipped mussel powder, offering omega fatty acids and joint-supportive ingredients. The relatively moderate fat and energy density can make it a useful option for dogs that benefit from a lighter, moist diet.

8.9 out of 10

Strong Choice

A high-quality wet food centered around lean chicken breast, with a thoughtful mix of whole grains and seeds, plus added omega sources and green-lipped mussel for joint support. The protein level is appropriate for a canned, broth-based adult dog food, and the fat is on the moderate side, which can work well for many adult dogs, including those who don’t need a very rich diet. It’s a good fit for adult dogs who enjoy a moist, shredded chicken style food and may benefit from joint-supportive ingredients.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Named boneless, skinless chicken breast as the primary ingredient provides a clear, lean animal protein source.
  • Includes brown rice and red riceberry as digestible carbohydrate sources rather than relying on legumes or potatoes.
  • Flaxseed, chia seed, fish oil, and green-lipped mussel powder contribute omega fatty acids and joint-supportive compounds.
  • Wet, broth-rich format can help with hydration and can be especially appealing to picky eaters or dogs that struggle with dry kibble.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken, fish oil, and green-lipped mussel, which are potential allergens for dogs with known sensitivities to poultry or fish/shellfish.
  • As a relatively lean, broth-heavy food, very high-energy or working dogs may need larger portions or an additional calorie source to meet their needs.
  • The texture is broth-based with pieces, which may not be as satisfying for dogs that prefer more substantial or pâté-style meals.

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.
View ingredient
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
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.
04
Rice Berry
Riceberry is a whole-grain rice variety used in pet foods primarily as a carbohydrate and fiber source that also supplies minerals and antioxidant pigments (anthocyanins) for potential oxidative support. It can provide digestible energy and dietary fiber for dogs and may be included in cat diets in small amounts, but it is not an essential nutrient for obligate carnivores and should be avoided or limited in pets with grain sensitivities or specific low‑carbohydrate dietary needs; proper cooking and formulation are important for digestibility.
05
Red Rice
Red rice is typically used in pet foods as a whole-grain carbohydrate and fiber source that provides energy, B vitamins, minerals and anthocyanin pigments with antioxidant properties. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and sometimes included in cat recipes, but because cats are obligate carnivores and all pets may require controlled carbohydrate intake or have grain sensitivities, owners should ensure diets remain nutritionally complete for the species and be aware rice must be cooked/processed for safe digestion and may contain variable trace contaminants depending on source.
