Lamb & King Salmon Feast Freeze-Dried Cat Food
Verified Jul 21, 2026
This is a very high-protein, high-fat freeze-dried cat food made primarily from New Zealand lamb (meat, organs, and bone) and king salmon. It includes green-lipped mussel, flaxseed, and added vitamins, minerals, and taurine to make it a complete and balanced diet for cats at any life stage. The formula is designed to be fed as-is, rehydrated, or used as a topper, offering a concentrated, meat-heavy option for cats that do well on rich, animal-based diets.

Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a rich, meat-forward diet with excellent protein and fat levels for most healthy, active cats, including kittens, when fed in appropriate amounts. The ingredients are highly animal-based, with organ meats, ground bone, and salmon providing a broad spectrum of amino acids, fats, and natural micronutrients, plus added taurine to meet feline requirements. It’s best suited for cats that tolerate higher fat well and for owners comfortable managing portion control with a very calorie-dense, freeze-dried food.

Strengths
- Extremely high animal content (lamb meat, organs, bone, and king salmon) provides highly digestible protein and essential amino acids for cats.
- Robust fat level with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, plus salmon and green-lipped mussel, which can support skin, coat, and joint health.
- Complete and balanced to AAFCO standards for all life stages, so it can be used for kittens, adults, and seniors when fed to appropriate calories.
- Low carbohydrate and low fiber profile, which can suit many obligate carnivore cats that do best on meat-heavy diets.
Considerations
- Very high fat and calorie density may not suit overweight, pancreatitis-prone, or very sedentary cats, and requires careful portion control.
- Contains lamb and fish, which are common protein allergens for some cats; not ideal if your cat has known sensitivities to these proteins.
- Freeze-dried foods must be handled with good hygiene, and some cats prefer the texture when rehydrated, which adds a small step for the owner.

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 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.
04
New Zealand King Salmon
New Zealand King Salmon is used in pet foods as a high-quality, highly digestible animal protein and a concentrated source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which support healthy skin and coat, joint function, and have anti-inflammatory benefits for both dogs and cats. It is a nutritious ingredient but can be an allergen for some pets and should be properly processed to eliminate parasites/pathogens; owners should also consider sustainable sourcing and contaminant testing, and ensure the overall diet is balanced to meet species-specific needs such as adequate taurine for cats.
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.
