Lamb Feast Freeze-Dried Cat Food

Verified Aug 28, 2026

Cat · Dry Kitten Adult Senior All Breed Sizes

This is a very high-protein, high-fat freeze-dried lamb recipe designed as a complete and balanced diet for cats of all ages, including kittens. It relies almost entirely on grass-fed lamb meat, organs, and ground bone, with added green-lipped mussel, flaxseed, and fish oil to supply omega fatty acids. The concentrated, low-carbohydrate profile makes it a rich, nutrient-dense option that can be fed as a full diet or used as a topper to boost another food.

8.6 out of 10

Strong Choice

Nutritionally, this is a very high-quality, meat-heavy diet with minimal carbohydrates and a strong emphasis on animal-based protein and fat, which suits the way cats naturally eat. It is complete and balanced for all life stages by AAFCO formulation, so it can be used for kittens through seniors, though the very high fat content may be too rich for some cats. Overall, it’s a premium, nutrient-dense choice for healthy cats who tolerate lamb and high-fat foods well.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Extremely high animal-based protein and fat (42% protein, 39% fat as-fed) from lamb meat, organs, and bone, closely matching a cat’s natural prey-based diet.
  • Very low carbohydrate content with no grains, corn, wheat, soy, or added fillers, which can be helpful for cats that do better on low-carb diets.
  • Includes New Zealand green mussel, flaxseed flakes, and fish oil, providing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to support skin, coat, and joint health.
  • Complete and balanced for all life stages under AAFCO by formulation, with added taurine and a full vitamin–mineral premix for nutritional adequacy.

Considerations

  • The fat level is quite high, which may be too rich for some cats, especially those prone to pancreatitis, obesity, or with lower calorie needs; portions need to be measured carefully given the high caloric density (199 kcal per cup freeze-dried).
  • Lamb and lamb organs are the dominant ingredients; if your cat is sensitive or allergic to lamb, this formula would not be appropriate.
  • Freeze-dried foods are very concentrated; if fed dry, some cats may not drink enough water alongside them, so rehydrating with warm water is usually a good idea to support hydration.
  • The very meat- and organ-heavy profile may cause loose stools in some cats during transition if the change from their previous diet is too quick, so a slow, gradual switch is important.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Lamb
Lamb is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a high-quality animal protein that supplies essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins and is often chosen for its palatability or as a “novel” protein in elimination diets. It can be higher in fat and calories than some other meats and may still cause allergic reactions in sensitive animals, so owners of overweight pets or those with food sensitivities should consult a veterinarian and use proper handling/cooking practices if feeding raw or homemade lamb.

02
Lamb Tripe
Lamb tripe is the stomach lining of lambs commonly used in dog and cat foods as a highly palatable animal-based protein and flavor enhancer that also supplies fat, digestible amino acids, B vitamins (notably B12), iron and other trace minerals. It can provide natural digestive enzymes and, when unwashed, beneficial microbes, but its strong odor, higher fat content and risk of spoilage or pathogen contamination mean it should be properly sourced and handled, introduced gradually to avoid GI upset, and included as part of a balanced diet rather than the sole ingredient.
03
Lamb Heart
Lamb heart is a nutrient-dense organ meat used in pet foods and treats as a high-quality animal protein and palatability enhancer, often offered as a novel protein for pets with food sensitivities. It supplies essential amino acids (including taurine and carnitine), B vitamins and minerals important for canine—and especially feline—health, but should be used as part of balanced formulations and handled or cooked safely if fed raw to avoid nutrient imbalances or food-safety risks.
04
Lamb Lung
Lamb lung is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a lean, highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, supplying readily digestible protein along with B vitamins, iron and other minerals that benefit both dogs and cats. It is typically safe and low in fat when properly sourced and processed (cooked or dehydrated) to eliminate pathogens, but it is not especially rich in taurine so should not be the sole ingredient in a cat’s diet; pet owners should also monitor for individual allergies and buy from reputable suppliers to reduce contamination risk.
05
Lamb Liver
Lamb liver is an organ meat used as a nutrient-dense protein and flavor enhancer in pet foods and treats, supplying concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), iron, copper and high-quality amino acids important for both dogs and cats. It is highly palatable and can help prevent nutrient deficiencies, but should be fed in moderation because excessive liver intake can lead to vitamin A toxicity and digestive upset, and proper sourcing/handling is important to avoid foodborne pathogens.
