Awesome Everything Chicken Breast & Red Rice Recipe with Veggies Wet Dog Food, 6-oz can, case of 8
Graded by The Sniff System
Weruva Awesome Everything Chicken Breast & Red Rice Recipe with Veggies is a wet dog food featuring chicken as its main protein.
This recipe includes quality carbohydrate sources with fermentable fiber, which is good for gut health. It also uses quality fat sources, like named fats and marine oil, providing beneficial EPA and DHA.
The biggest thing to note is the lack of an AAFCO statement, which means its nutritional completeness is unverified. Also, the protein quality from chicken is considered low, delivering limited bioavailable amino acids.
Good fit for adult dogs, assuming the formula is complete. Less ideal if you prioritize a food with verified nutritional completeness.
Summary written by The Sniff System from the data above. Same rubric, same drivers, expressed in English.
Good fit for adult French Bulldogs and similar lower-energy companion breeds navigating a sensitive stomach. Working in its favor: prebiotic fiber (chicory or FOS) for gut health. Chicken broth leads at position 1, and a single-species protein design that makes trigger isolation easier. Frenchies have notoriously sensitive GI tracts plus a tendency toward obesity given their low activity needs. Limited-ingredient formulas with moderate calorie density tend to fit them well.

Middle-of-pack grade. 57/100 (C) reflects the structural fit of this formula against The Sniff System's eight scoring components. Carbohydrate quality did the heavy lifting (+14 points): Quality carbohydrate sources with fermentable fiber. What capped it: the score can't exceed 59 because the AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement isn't disclosed on the retailer page (so our methodology can't verify the formula meets adult, growth, or all-life-stages standards). How it could climb: the brand publishing the AAFCO statement, which would lift the cap into B-band range.

Read why each ingredient is good or bad for dogs.
- 1chicken broth
Real broth, adds flavor and moisture. Negligible nutrition on its own but tells you the recipe leans on real meat.
Position 1: primary protein source. After cooking removes water, this may drop in proportional weight, but it anchors the recipe.
- 2protein animalchicken
Real meat. Primary protein source, with the amino acid profile dogs actually evolved to eat.
Position 2: co-primary protein. Two named animal proteins in the top 2 is a strong protein build.
- 3red rice
Position 3: major carbohydrate source.
- 4vegetablepumpkin
Soluble fiber that supports stool quality. Mild and well-tolerated.
Position 4: meaningful whole-food inclusion. Source of vitamins, antioxidants, or natural fiber.
- 5fatflaxseed
Plant source of omega-3. Helpful for skin and coat, though dogs absorb omega-3 from fish more efficiently.
Position 5: secondary fat. Often where marine oils sit when present alongside a primary land-animal fat.
- 6purple sweet potato
- 7vegetablekale
Leafy green with antioxidants and fiber. Small dose in kibble, but it's not just for marketing.
Position 7: meaningful whole-food inclusion. Source of vitamins, antioxidants, or natural fiber.
- 8carrot
Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, antioxidants. Same as carrots, sometimes singular on labels.
- 9legumegreen peas
Same as peas. Useful in small amounts. The concern is when pulses dominate the top of the ingredient list. See why →
Position 9. Moderate inclusion. Contributes carbohydrate and some plant protein.
- 10chia seed
Plant source of omega-3 and fiber. Like flaxseed, useful in trace amounts.
- 11fatcoconut oil
Saturated fat with medium-chain triglycerides. Mostly marketing in the doses kibble uses, but harmless.
Position 11: trace fat. Below the level that materially shifts the fat profile.
- 12calcium lactate
Calcium source from lactic acid fermentation. Functional, well-tolerated.
- 13supplementginger
Real spice. Some anti-nausea evidence in humans, but the dose in kibble is small. Mostly for flavor.
- 14supplementturmeric
Spice with anti-inflammatory compounds. Real research in humans, but the dose in kibble is small. Mostly there for label appeal.
- 15mineraltricalcium phosphate
Calcium and phosphorus source. Same role as dicalcium phosphate, slightly different ratio.
- 16fiberinulin
Prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Same compound found in chicory root.
- 17l-ascorbic acid phosphate
- 18mineralpotassium chloride
Required mineral. Sometimes used as a salt substitute. Standard inclusion in complete diets.
- 19green-lipped mussel
- 20mineralzinc amino acid complex
Zinc bound to amino acids for better absorption. Same idea as zinc proteinate, the premium form of the mineral.
- 21supplementcholine chloride
Essential nutrient for liver and brain function. Standard inclusion in complete dog foods.
- 22fatfish oil
Concentrated omega-3s. The reason 'EPA' and 'DHA' get to show up on the bag.
- 23mineralmagnesium sulfate
Source of magnesium, a required mineral. Standard inclusion in complete diets.
- 24vitaminvitamin e supplement
Required nutrient and a natural antioxidant. Often pulls double duty as a preservative.
- 25mineraliron amino acid complex
Iron bound to amino acids for better absorption. Premium form versus inorganic iron sulfate.
