The label facts

How the score breaks down

Ingredient notes: the first ten, one by one

Definitions below are written from AAFCO's ingredient definitions in our own words. They describe what an ingredient is, never what a brand claims about it. Names that appear in our ingredient dictionary link to it; the dictionary counts how many scored recipes carry each ingredient.

• Turkey Broth. Turkey Broth is a cooking liquid from the named animal. It brings flavor and moisture, and in a wet food it is most of the weight in the can.
• Turkey. Turkey is the named meat in fresh form. Panel order is set by weight before cooking, and fresh meat is mostly water, so its share of the finished food is smaller than its place at the top suggests.
• Chicken. Chicken is the named meat in fresh form. Panel order is set by weight before cooking, and fresh meat is mostly water, so its share of the finished food is smaller than its place at the top suggests.
• Liver. Liver is organ tissue from a named animal. Organs are dense in vitamins, minerals and amino acids, and they are a normal part of what a dog is built to eat.
• Pumpkin. Pumpkin is a fiber rich vegetable makers add to steady digestion; it soaks up water in the gut.
• Brown Rice. Brown Rice is a milled grain used for energy and to bind the kibble. Whole grain forms keep the bran and bring gentle fiber with them.
• Peas. Peas is a legume bringing starch, fiber and plant protein together. Legumes help a panel reach its protein figure without meat, which is worth knowing when you read the protein line.
• Soy Protein Concentrate. Soy Protein Concentrate comes from the soybean after its oil is removed. It is a concentrated plant protein, widely used because it is cheap and consistent.
• Carrots. Carrots is a fruit or vegetable inclusion. At panel positions like this the amounts are small; treat them as garnish with benefits, not a nutrient pillar.
• Canola Oil (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols). Canola Oil (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols) is a natural preservative. It slows the fats in the food turning rancid and is the alternative to chemical preservatives.

The brand's recall record

No FDA posted dog food recall events for this brand were found in our November 2026 check of FDA recall records. A 2015 FDA posted event for this brand covered wet cat food only, so it is not counted in the dog food record, the same counting rule this database applies to every brand. That is a statement about what we could verify, not proof of a perfect history.

Feeding it

Switch foods gradually over about a week, mixing more of the new food into the old each day. Portion by calories, not by the look of the bowl: our feeding calculator works out a daily amount from your dog's weight, and this recipe's calorie line above is the number it needs.

What that means at the bowl, for a typical neutered adult (resting energy 70 times body weight to the power 0.75, times 1.6; treats come out of the same budget):

Puppies, pregnant dogs and very active dogs need more; older and weight watching dogs need less. The calculator linked above adjusts for those cases.
