Our read The ingredients
Berries in real amounts, immunity claim stretched thin
Signature feature
Antioxidants
Formulated with antioxidants to support the immune system
What it is Cranberries and blueberries, fifth and sixth on the list, plus turmeric, cinnamon, added vitamin C and vitamin E, all mixed through a chicken and salmon pâté.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
The berries sit above the salt, but the vitamin C guarantee comes to about 15 mg a can, and dogs make their own. Expect an ordinary antioxidant dose, not a stronger immune system.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Cranberries and blueberries sit fifth and sixth, a real share. Turmeric and cinnamon trail at 11th and 13th, closer to seasoning than dose.
- 5 cranberries
- 6 blueberries
- 11 turmeric
- 13 cinnamon
- 19 Salt

Wet food is mostly water, so the label’s percentages look small next to kibble. Taking the water out is the only fair way to compare it with other foods.

| PROTEIN | 7.0% | 31.8% | 42.1% |

Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.

Is it a meal?
No, a supplement
Fromm labels the can a dog food supplement, not a complete meal. Spoon it over a complete food and trim the main ration to match.
-
Is it a high-protein topper?
No
About 32% protein on a dry basis against 45% for the average topper we list. Broth, rice and berries thin out the chicken and salmon.

- Skip it for
- Dogs allergic to chicken or fish, dogs on a vet elimination diet, and owners expecting a can to fix immunity.
