Each hand-packed cups of wet food contains real and premium chicken as the first ingredient. Since the focus is on protein, the formulations contain more than adequate amounts of meat to keep your small fur buddy highly energized.
There aren’t any vegetables or fruits to balance all the protein, but the nutrient profile show enough supplemental vitamins and minerals for complete nutrition.
There are currently no bad reviews about this product line. Out of all purchasers, 93% highly recommend the line. One thing most customer comments have in common is that these formulations have encouraged finicky dogs to eat.
We do love the high protein content (it’s above average for wet food), and the recipe is both nutritious and tasty — a big plus! But we do wish there were some hints of fruit or vegetable at least.
Still, we have to admit that this is premium dog food that most dogs seem to adore. And what dogs think carries the most weight when it comes to picking their food.

Each can contains shredded chicken, healthy brown rice, sweet potato, egg, and superfood kale all mixed in one delicious consommé.
The list of ingredients is shorter than in most of the brand’s other ranges, yet it packs a bigger punch when it comes to being a completely balanced diet.
The foods in this range come in a clear broth with concentrated stock.
Benefits:
- The formulas use non-GMO ingredients
- Contains no soy, wheat, corn, or any artificial flavors and colors.
- Offers a balanced diet for dogs of all breed sizes
- Protein-rich formula
- Comes with veggies for a nutritional boost
If you’ll notice most formulations have egg in the fifth or sixth spot. This is because egg can give a protein boost to any meal aside from providing it with riboflavin and selenium.
Kale, a superfood, is also one common ingredient across all formulations. It’s high in calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium, which support a healthy heart, vision, colon, and bones.
Dog owners simply love this line and the other flavors in this range. There are reports where pets simply inhale the food and finish them right off! One other thing that customers like about it is that all the ingredients are distinguishable from each other.
100% of purchasers recommend this for your dog to try. Aside from the brand’s no artificial flavor, color, or preservative motto, it also uses non-GMO ingredients to ensure that each meal is as safe as possible.
A lip-smacking and tasty food that is loaded with everything you’d want your dogs to have makes this formula tops for us, overall. It’s just a little pricier than we’d like but worth it.

For food that has a short list of inclusions, it’s still loaded with nutrition.
These Aloha Petites Flavor Boosters provide big nutrition for little pooches. The savory toppers/treats are nutrient-dense so you won’t feel guilty feeding your small pups these.

What Types of Dog Food Do They Offer?
In this section, we’ll discuss a little more about the individual types of dog food that they offer. All of their formulas follow a few of the company’s primary guidelines.
All Natural Ingredients – The brand wants to clear the air with its consumers to help them understand what all-natural means. There is a lot of misconception around the word natural, so they broke it down.
All-natural dog food means that they include high-quality ingredients that get sourced reliably. They always use real meat as their first ingredient.
All natural also means that there are no fillers, by-products, added sugars, or artificial colors and preservatives. For a dog food to be all natural, it needs to follow these guidelines, and everything from Tiki Dog does.
Thoughtful Recipes with Real Benefits – They believe in choosing every ingredient for a specific purpose. Some companies add ingredients to fill out space on the list, but they don’t actually provide any nutritional value to your pup.
This company believes in only adding ingredients that help with your pup's energy. Skin, coat, teeth, joints, immunity, and weight. If the ingredient does not help with these purposes, it does not get added.
Variety = Flavor – Tiki Dog believes in offering a wide array of options so you can always find something that appeals to your pup. Some dogs are picky and will not eat specific proteins or vegetables, so they want to make sure they offer enough unique formulas, so every pup has something to enjoy.
In addition to traditional wet and dry foods, they also offer meaty toppers, velvety mousse, and shredded meat in broth.

Customer Reviews
We believe in transparency and honesty, and the best way to get an honest opinion about dog food is to read reviews from real customers who already purchased something you are thinking about buying.
We know you want to make the best decision for your pup and that’s not always easy, so we’re here to help with some of the most significant reviews about the most popular formulas from Tiki Dog.
Many of the positive reviews express gratitude to the company for creating this food. They say that their dogs love the flavor and they gobble it up every time. There are so few negative reviews and the ones that exist say that their dogs did not like the flavor offerings.
Positive
A very tasty add-in – My dog is diabetic and very picky about his meals. This is my go-to when he has flipped his nose up at everything. I add a can of this to what has been prepared, and he will then devour his meal. It does not affect his glucose number very much at all. – Chewy Customer
Love Tiki Dog – I always joke to my friends that if Doomsday ever comes and I ran out of food, I'd have zero issues eating this stuff. It's human grade. You can quickly identify everything in it; little shrimps, shredded chicken, brown rice, etc. Treat your pups to the best stuff out there! My dogs love it! – Chewy Customer
Best wet dog food ever! – My dogs love this food!! I put it into another container so I could mix the ingredients better. I had to tell my husband not to eat it because it's dog food. It looks and smells like you could warm it up and serve to your human family!! – Chewy Customer
Negative
Not Even a Lick – I heard such great things about this product, and my Chihuahua completely snubbed it. When I opened the can it smelled like soup, thought she liked it, but she was not even remotely interested. It's more broth than meat. Smelled a little salty too, think canned soup. – Chewy Customer
Possibly the Most Delicious Canned Food
Is it the best dog food? No, but almost! We must say that we are impressed by the brand and happy to give it a perfect 5/5 due to its high-quality ingredients, outstanding flavor, and spotless reputation.
Whether you are looking to switch your pup to new dog food or not we would highly recommend picking up a variety pack so your canine can try out some of Tiki’s canned dog foods.
