Weruva Paw Lickin' Chicken Freeze-Dried Dog Food, 5.5-oz bag

⸻ Key Features • This is a canned wet dog food featuring boneless, skinless white breast chicken in a savory gravy.  • The formula is fairly simple / clean: chicken, chicken broth, sunflower seed oil, potato starch, and some vitamins & minerals.  • No grains, gluten, or common allergens like corn, wheat, or soy.  • Guaranteed Analysis: ~10% protein, 1.4% fat, 85% moisture.  • Calorie content: a 5.5 oz can has ~104 kcal; 14 oz can ~267 kcal.  • Uses antibiotic-free chicken, per Weruva.  Strengths / Pros 1. High palatability: Many dog owners say their dogs absolutely love it. The real chicken + gravy combo is very tempting for dogs.  2. Simple, clean ingredients: Because it’s mainly chicken and broth, it’s a “real-food” style wet food that’s easy to identify — no weird by-products or fillers.  3. Good for hydration: Being a wet food with a lot of gravy, it helps add moisture, which can support overall health. 4. Low in fat: The low-fat content (1.4%) may make it a good choice for dogs that need lighter food, or as a topper. 5. Grain-free: Good for dogs with certain dietary sensitivities (grain, gluten). 6. Flexible serving options: Comes in different can sizes (5.5 oz, 14 oz), and Weruva also offers a freeze-dried version for use as a treat or topper. 7. Highly rated: On Chewy, this flavor has a 4.7/5 average from many reviews.  ⸻ Drawbacks / Cons to Consider 1. Low protein / caloric density: Because it’s very gravy-heavy and not very dense, some dogs may not get enough calories from this alone and may require larger servings. 2. Price: Wet foods like this (especially premium, clean-ingredient ones) can be more expensive than generic wet food or dry kibble. Some users note the cost is higher.  3. Consistency variability: A few pet owners mention that the ratio of “meat to gravy” can vary between cans.  4. Digestive sensitivity: While less common, there are some anecdotal reports (on related products) of digestive issues from similar Weruva foods. For example, on Reddit some users have mentioned diarrhea or changes in consistency.  5. Not super nutrient-dense: Given the high moisture and relatively modest protein content, it may not provide everything as a sole diet for some very active or high-energy dogs, unless portioned appropriately.

My 3 dogs love this food. All the dogs are large, so I added a 1/2 cup of the Lickin' Chicken on top of their regular food and all the cubes disappeared almost instantly! I am I think that this product would be great for treats or training treats!

My two yorkies like this and they are pretty picky. It's great to have an alternative because they get bored with food too. I like the size of the nuggets because one of my yorkies is smaller and its easier for her to chew.
