Quick Product Snapshot

Why Pet Owners Choose This Food

• Grain-free formula with no corn, wheat, or soy - suitable for dogs with common grain sensitivities
• Diverse produce lineup - sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, Granny Smith apples, peas, and blueberries - provides natural fiber, antioxidants, and micronutrient variety
• Omega-3 fatty acids from salmon oil and flaxseed oil support healthy skin and coat condition

• Made in the USA with USDA-inspected beef and no corn, wheat, or soy

Ingredient Transparency

The recipe leads with deboned beef, followed by beef broth and chicken broth as primary moisture and flavor sources. Beef liver adds organ-based nutrition and palatability, while peas and dried egg product contribute additional protein and nutrients. Sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, Granny Smith apples, and blueberries provide a broad range of natural carbohydrate sources, fiber, and antioxidants. Salmon oil and flaxseed oil deliver omega-3 fatty acids. The formula contains no corn, wheat, or soy. All ingredients are sourced and the product is crafted in the USA.

Nutritional Positioning

This wet dog food delivers 8.0% crude protein (min.) and 5.0% crude fat (min.), supported by 78.0% moisture content. The fat level is higher than the Slow-Cooked recipes, reflecting the USDA beef-forward formulation. The diverse fruit and vegetable inclusion list - including blueberries as a natural antioxidant source - provides a broader range of micronutrients compared to single-vegetable recipes. This recipe meets the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult dog maintenance and is positioned as a complete and balanced daily meal.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The Cowboy Cookout format features large, visible beef pieces served in a hearty gravy with vegetable and fruit inclusions. The chunk-in-gravy format is distinct from pate-style or finely chopped wet food textures, making it a practical option for dogs that prefer more substantial meat pieces in their meals. The combination of USDA beef, savory broth, and a diverse produce lineup creates a layered aroma and flavor profile. Serving at room temperature improves palatability compared to refrigerated portions.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Can be served as a complete meal or as a premium topper over dry kibble. Typical daily feeding guidelines by body weight: 10-20 lbs - 3/4 to 1-1/4 cans; 20-40 lbs - 1-1/4 to 2 cans; 40-60 lbs - 2 to 2-3/4 cans; 60-80 lbs - 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cans; 80-100 lbs - 3-1/4 to 4 cans.

Safety, Storage, and Handling
