Lean chicken breast leads, with real vegetables behind
Signature feature

What it is Boneless, skinless chicken breast, first on the list ahead of the broth, with beef third. It's lean white muscle meat, the same cut people buy.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Breast meat carries little fat, which is why protein supplies about 70% of the calories here and fat only 30%. That suits a dog that needs to stay trim, but it runs light for a hard worker.
Meaningful A real difference for the dog eating it.
Pumpkin, carrot and sweet potato run fourth to sixth, ahead of the vitamins, with potato starch right behind to thicken the gravy.
- 4 Pumpkin
- 5 Carrot
- 6 Sweet Potato
- 7 Potato Starch

Exactly as the can prints it, heaviest first

Ingredients are listed heaviest first, and a dog food needs very little salt, so the tail of the list is present in very small amounts.
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.
| NUTRIENT | ON THE LABEL | WATER OUT | WET FOOD MEDIAN |
|---|---|---|---|
| PROTEIN | 8.0% | 53.3% | 43.2% |
| FAT | 1.4% | 9.3% | 22.2% |
| FIBER | 0.5% | 3.3% | - |
| CARBS (EST.) | - | 20.7% | - |
Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.

Is it a high-protein food?
Yes
53.3% protein on a dry basis against 42% for the average wet food we list. Most of it comes from lean chicken breast.
-
Is it a meal?
Weruva says yes
The feeding guide has you serve it alone at 1 oz per pound of body weight daily. For a big dog that's a lot of cans, so many owners use it on kibble.
- Feed it to
- Adults that need lean protein, dogs watching their weight, and kibble eaters whose owners want a chicken breast topper.
- Skip it for
- Puppies, dogs allergic to chicken or beef, and hard-working dogs that need more fat in the bowl.
