Ingredient Review
Our review of Iams ProActive Health Puppy With Chicken & Rice Pate Canned Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Sufficient Water. In pet food, sufficient water is a term that is used to describe the amount of water needed for processing.
The second ingredient is Chicken. Chicken is meat from the domesticated bird of the same name. In pet food, chicken is used as a primary protein source.
The third ingredient is Meat By-Products. The meat by-products in pet food may be organs such as liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, and more, as well as meat left over from butchering. While meat by-products include offal that isn’t meant for human consumption, it may not contain hooves, horns, teeth, or animal hides.
The fourth ingredient is Brewers Rice. Brewers rice is a byproduct of the beer industry. The brewers rice in pet food has been dried and ground for use as a carbohydrate source, often in gluten-free recipes.
The fifth ingredient is Meat Protein Isolate. Meat protein isolate is protein that has been extracted from meat – it could be beef, chicken, pork, or something else. In pet food, meat protein isolate can be an inexpensive source of animal protein.

Nutritional Analysis
A puppy needs plenty of calories to support their growth and development. In general, puppy foods are much higher in calories to help support all of the extra energy that goes into growth. Depending on your pup’s breed, they may need to continue eating puppy food for between 6 and 24 months. Small breeds tend to mature more quickly than large breeds. Make sure to ask your veterinarian how long your puppy should remain on a puppy formula.
