Ingredient Review
Our review of Royal Canin Digestive Care Wet Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Water Sufficient. In pet food, the term water sufficient typically refers to the amount of water that is needed to process the rest of the ingredients.
The second ingredient is Chicken By-Products. The chicken by-products in pet food are defined as dry, ground, parts of the chicken carcass that have been rendered clean. Most pet food companies use chicken by-products such as liver, kidney, heart, and gizzard, which are sources of protein and other nutrients. Some do include chicken by-products like feathers, bones, and beaks, all ground up and unidentifiable.
The third ingredient is Pork By-Products. Pork by-products are the remnants of a swine that has been processed. The term usually refers to parts that aren’t used for human consumption, i.e. kidneys, livers, lungs, intestines, and other tissues. In pet food, pork by-products can be a source of protein and other nutrients.
The fourth 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 fifth ingredient is Wheat Flour. Wheat flour is finely ground wheat, sometimes enriched with vitamins. In pet food, wheat flour serves as a binding and bulking agent. It is also a source of fiber and carbohydrates.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Royal Canin Digestive Care Wet Dog Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.

Nutritional Analysis
Your adult dog needs a balance of macro and micronutrients to thrive. A food formulated for adult maintenance or all life stages is made to meet these needs. While there can be a lot of variation in actual calorie density, adult dog foods are generally intended to provide for basic calorie needs of the average active dog. In addition to satisfying their energy needs, these foods provide the protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and other nutrients your adult dog needs to survive. Again, not all adult foods are the same, so you may have to search around for the right fit for your dog.
