Meals 'n More Natural Wet Dog Food, Woof Woof Floof! Skin & Coat Health Variety Pack, 3.5-oz cup, 10 count
Graded by The Sniff System
Weruva Meals 'n More Woof Woof Floof! is a wet dog food variety pack, primarily featuring chicken, designed for skin and coat health.
This food includes quality carbohydrate sources like quinoa, pumpkin, and carrots, which also provide fermentable fiber. It also has quality fat sources, with named fats like chicken oil and marine oil from fish oil, which is a good source of EPA and DHA.
A significant concern is the absence of an AAFCO statement, meaning its nutritional completeness is unverified. Additionally, the protein quality from "club cup one : chicken" is noted as low, delivering limited bioavailable amino acids.
Good fit for dogs whose owners prioritize quality carbs and fats. Less ideal if you need an AAFCO statement or higher protein quality.
Summary written by The Sniff System from the data above. Same rubric, same drivers, expressed in English.
Strong fit for active large sporting breeds, including the Golden Retriever, navigating diet-associated DCM concerns. Club cup one : chicken anchors position 1, with zero pulses in the top 15, plus added taurine at position 14. In its 2022 update on diet-associated DCM, the FDA identified Golden Retrievers as the most reported breed, with 121 cases out of 1,382 total canine reports (8.8%) received between January 1, 2014, and November 1, 2022 (FDA, 2022) .

Sniff scored this formula 55/100, landing in C-tier (acceptable-with-notes). The biggest contributor was carbohydrate quality (+16 points): Quality carbohydrate sources with fermentable fiber. A hard cap of 59 also applied 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). Even without the cap, the base component scores sit below the next band. The structural fix would need to address protein quality as well.

Read why each ingredient is good or bad for dogs.
- 1club cup one : chicken
Position 1: primary protein source. After cooking removes water, this may drop in proportional weight, but it anchors the recipe.
- 2chicken broth
Real broth, adds flavor and moisture. Negligible nutrition on its own but tells you the recipe leans on real meat.
Position 2: co-primary protein. Two named animal proteins in the top 2 is a strong protein build.
- 3grainquinoa
Pseudo-grain with a complete amino acid profile. Rare in dog food because it's expensive.
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.
- 5carrot
Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, antioxidants. Same as carrots, sometimes singular on labels.
- 6green pea
Position 6. Moderate inclusion. Contributes carbohydrate and some plant protein.
- 7chicken oil
Position 7: supporting protein. Modest contribution to total protein weight.
- 8tapioca starch
Refined cassava starch, used as a binder. Easy to digest, low on nutrition.
- 9fatflaxseed
Plant source of omega-3. Helpful for skin and coat, though dogs absorb omega-3 from fish more efficiently.
Position 9: trace fat. Below the level that materially shifts the fat profile.
- 10calcium lactate
Calcium source from lactic acid fermentation. Functional, well-tolerated.
- 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.
- 12fatfish oil
Concentrated omega-3s. The reason 'EPA' and 'DHA' get to show up on the bag.
Position 12. Moderate marine-oil inclusion. Supplements EPA/DHA without being the primary fat.
- 13mineraltricalcium phosphate
Calcium and phosphorus source. Same role as dicalcium phosphate, slightly different ratio.
- 14supplementtaurine
Amino acid critical for heart health. Especially important in grain-free or pulse-heavy formulas where natural taurine precursors run thin.
- 15mineralzinc amino acid complex
Zinc bound to amino acids for better absorption. Same idea as zinc proteinate, the premium form of the mineral.
- 16supplementcholine chloride
Essential nutrient for liver and brain function. Standard inclusion in complete dog foods.
- 17vitaminvitamin e supplement
Required nutrient and a natural antioxidant. Often pulls double duty as a preservative.
- 18vitamincalcium pantothenate
Same as d-calcium pantothenate. Vitamin B5 in standardized form.
- 19mineraliron amino acid complex
Iron bound to amino acids for better absorption. Premium form versus inorganic iron sulfate.
- 20nicotinic acid
- 21vitaminthiamine mononitrate
B vitamin (B1). Essential for nervous system function. Cooked-in vitamin loss is why thiamine is always added back.
- 22mineralmanganese amino acid complex
Manganese bound to amino acids for better absorption. The chelated form most premium brands use.
- 23vitaminvitamin a supplement
Vitamin A in stable, standardized form. Required for vision, immune function, and growth.
- 24mineralsodium selenite Flagged
Inorganic selenium. Effective at AAFCO levels, no documented safety concern in dogs despite what some pet food blogs claim. Selenium yeast is a marginal upgrade, not a necessity. See why →
- 25mineralcopper amino acid complex
Copper bound to amino acids for better absorption. Premium form versus copper sulfate.
