Bone broth stew, grain-free food for dogs with vegetables & salmon
What it is Fish broth leads the list and chicken bone broth sits third. Together they are the liquid the chunks cook in, standing in for the water every canned stew needs.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Canned food runs about 80% moisture anyway, so broth is a smarter liquid than plain water and adds a little gelatin and flavor. The protein still comes from the chicken, fish and egg.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Salmon, the fish on the can, sits 11th, behind potato starch. Chicken and chicken liver sit 2nd and 5th, so this is a chicken food too.
- 2 Chicken
- 5 Chicken Liver

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.

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

Where do the calories come from?
Mostly fat
About 58% of the calories come from fat and 42% from protein. That's rich for a stew and a poor fit for a dog prone to pancreatitis.

40% protein on a dry basis against a 42% average for the wet foods we list. Broth leads the list, but chicken, fish and egg carry the protein.

- Skip it for
- Dogs allergic to chicken or egg, dogs on a low-fat diet, and dogs with a history of pancreatitis.
