Analysis updated August 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This wet dog food contains high-quality ingredients like chicken, chicken liver, and apples, which provide essential nutrients and support overall health. However, the presence of carrageenan, a controversial thickener associated with potential gastrointestinal inflammation, and the use of canola oil, a seed oil, contribute to its ultra-processed nature. Despite the beneficial ingredients, the processing level and inclusion of carrageenan limit its score.
