Overview
This is a chicken flavored pate in gravy, made with thin slices, formulated for adult dogs around urinary tract health and moderate calorie weight management. The ingredient list includes fish oil, L-carnitine and marigold extract alongside the base recipe, and it's packaged as 12.5 oz cans sold 12 to a case, for 150 oz total.
The case runs $65.88, which works out to about $5.49 per can. That's a premium price point, consistent with a specialized veterinary formula rather than an everyday wet food.
It has 14 reviews averaging 4.2 stars, with roughly 100 units bought in the past month. That's a modest but positive early track record for a diet aimed at a fairly specific need.

Performance notes
The recipe is a pate with gravy coated chicken slices, built around fish oil, L-carnitine and marigold extract on a moderate calorie base. It's positioned to support urinary tract health and weight management at the same time, which fits dogs a vet has identified as needing both.
What buyers say
A 4.2 average from 14 reviews is a decent early signal, though still a modest sample for a food this specialized. About 100 purchases in the past month points to a steady niche following, which is typical for a veterinary urinary diet rather than a mainstream product.
It's formulated to support urinary tract health while offering a moderate calorie count, which can help dogs that need both urinary support and weight management. It's not a treatment for diagnosed urinary disease, so a vet's guidance matters here.
Why does it include fish oil and L-carnitine?
Fish oil and L-carnitine are part of the formula's approach alongside the urinary and weight focused benefits. Your vet can explain how these ingredients fit your dog's specific case and history.
Can I feed this without a vet's recommendation?
Veterinary diets like this one are built around specific health conditions, so it's best to confirm with your vet that urinary and weight support together is the right fit before switching your dog's food.
