Goat Formula Wet Dog Food
Verified Jun 9, 2026
This is a grain-free, canned pâté for dogs that uses goat, goat lungs, and goat liver as the sole animal protein sources. The formula is relatively high in moisture, with peas and chickpeas providing additional carbohydrates and fiber, and includes added vitamins, minerals, taurine, and marine microalgae oil to round out the nutrition. It’s designed as a complete and balanced option for dogs of all ages, including large-breed puppies, who may benefit from a single, novel protein diet.
This is a high-quality, single-protein wet food centered on goat and organ meats, which can be useful for dogs with chicken or beef sensitivities or for owners using rotational proteins. The all-life-stages AAFCO formulation, including coverage for large-breed growth, makes it versatile for multi-dog households. Its grain-free recipe is legume-based, so while it suits many dogs well, it’s best used with guidance if you have a breed with known heart concerns.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Goat, goat lungs, and goat liver provide a clearly named, nutrient-dense animal protein and organ mix, which supports essential amino acids, iron, and B vitamins.
- Complete and balanced for all life stages, including large-breed puppies, according to AAFCO nutrient profiles, so it can serve as a sole diet if desired.
- Very high moisture (78%) supports hydration and can help with dogs that prefer softer food or have dental or chewing difficulties.
- Includes taurine, L‑carnitine, and marine microalgae oil, which contribute additional amino acids and omega fatty acids beyond the base ingredients.
Considerations
- Uses peas and chickpeas as the main carbohydrate sources in a grain-free formula; legume-heavy, grain-free diets have been associated with heart issues (dilated cardiomyopathy) in some dogs, so discuss with your vet if you have a predisposed breed.
- Goat is still a common animal protein, so while it’s a single-protein diet, it may not be suitable as a diagnostic elimination diet without your veterinarian’s supervision.
- Wet foods are energy-dense by volume; portions need to be measured carefully, especially for dogs prone to weight gain.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Goat
Goat is used in pet foods as a novel animal protein source—lean and digestible meat that provides high-quality protein and nutrients such as iron and B vitamins, and is often chosen for dogs or cats with sensitivities to common proteins. While it can be a useful alternative in elimination diets, pet parents should ensure the product is formulated to be complete and balanced (including adequate taurine for cats), be aware individual animals can still react, and avoid feeding raw goat due to parasite and bacterial risks.
02
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.
03
Goat Lung
Goat lung is an organ meat used in pet food as a high-quality, novel protein and palatability enhancer, providing concentrated protein and micronutrients including iron and B vitamins. It can be a useful option for dogs and cats needing dietary variety or limited-ingredient formulas, but should be fed in moderation and sourced/processed properly to avoid pathogens and reduce the risk of digestive upset or food allergies.
04
Goat Liver
Goat liver is an organ meat used in pet foods and toppers as a highly palatable source of complete protein and concentrated vitamins and minerals—particularly vitamin A, B12, folate, iron and copper—supporting red blood cell production, skin and immune health in dogs and cats. Because liver is so nutrient-dense it should be fed in moderation to avoid vitamin A toxicity and excess copper, and raw liver requires careful sourcing and handling to reduce bacterial or parasitic risks while being balanced with other ingredients to meet overall dietary needs.
05
Pea
Pea is a plant-based ingredient used in pet foods as a source of protein, soluble and insoluble fiber, and micronutrients (often included as whole peas, pea flour, or pea protein concentrate) to boost protein content and improve texture. While peas can provide digestible carbohydrates, fiber, and some plant protein useful especially for dogs, they are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and — when overused, particularly in concentrated forms or as a major component of grain‑free diets — have been scrutinized for a possible association with canine dilated cardiomyopathy and can contribute to nutrient imbalances or excess calories, so balanced formulation and compliance with AAFCO nutritional profiles are important.
