Adult Good Gravy Chicken Dry Cat Food
Verified Jun 6, 2026
This is a grain-free dry food for adult and senior cats, using fresh deboned chicken and whole dried egg as the main animal protein sources. Peas and potatoes provide the carbohydrates, while added pumpkin, flaxseed, and probiotics support healthy digestion. It’s coated with turkey bone broth for extra palatability and can be fed dry or moistened with warm water for a gravy-like texture.
Overall, this is a high-quality, grain-free dry diet for adult cats that relies on chicken and egg for protein and uses peas and potatoes as the main carbohydrates. The protein and fat levels are appropriate for most adult and senior cats, and the added taurine, L-carnitine, omega fatty acids, and probiotics are nice nutritional touches. It’s best suited to healthy adult cats without chicken or egg allergies whose owners are specifically looking for a grain-free formula.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Deboned chicken and whole dried egg provide highly digestible, animal-based protein, with a solid 31% minimum protein level for an adult cat food.
- Grain-free recipe that avoids wheat and soy, which can be helpful for cats that don’t tolerate those ingredients well.
- Includes pumpkin, chicory root, and added probiotics, which can support normal digestive function and stool quality.
- Added taurine, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and L-carnitine help support heart, eye, skin/coat, and healthy body condition needs of adult cats.
Considerations
- Peas, pea flour, pea fiber, lentils, and potatoes make legumes and potatoes a significant portion of the formula; while DCM concerns are primarily in dogs, some owners may still prefer to limit legume-heavy diets.
- Contains common protein allergens for cats, including chicken and egg, so it’s not a good choice for cats with known sensitivities to these ingredients.
- Energy density is fairly high at 415 kcal per cup, so portion control is important, especially for indoor or less active cats to help prevent weight gain.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Deboned Chicken
Deboned chicken is a common primary animal protein in pet foods, providing highly digestible essential amino acids and nutrients such as B vitamins and iron that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health in both dogs and cats. It is generally palatable and relatively lean, but can be a common food allergen for some animals and its nutritional and fat content varies with inclusion of skin or fat—ensure proper sourcing and handling to reduce contamination risk and consult a veterinarian if you suspect a food sensitivity.
02
Pea
Pea is a plant-based ingredient used in pet foods as a source of protein, soluble and insoluble fiber, and micronutrients (often included as whole peas, pea flour, or pea protein concentrate) to boost protein content and improve texture. While peas can provide digestible carbohydrates, fiber, and some plant protein useful especially for dogs, they are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and — when overused, particularly in concentrated forms or as a major component of grain‑free diets — have been scrutinized for a possible association with canine dilated cardiomyopathy and can contribute to nutrient imbalances or excess calories, so balanced formulation and compliance with AAFCO nutritional profiles are important.
03
Potato
Potato is commonly used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate source and functional binder, supplying starch, fiber, and modest amounts of vitamins (B6, C) and potassium—often included as cooked or dehydrated flakes, starch, or protein concentrates. While it provides energy and helps formulate grain‑free recipes, potatoes are not a primary protein for dogs or cats (and are not nutritionally required for obligate‑carnivore cats), can contribute to excess calories or affect blood glucose in diabetic animals, and must be cooked and free of green skins or sprouts to avoid solanine toxicity; allergies are uncommon but possible.
04
Pea Flour
Pea flour is a finely milled powder from whole peas used in pet foods as a plant-based source of protein, starch and fiber to add bulk, improve texture and boost overall protein content. It provides digestible protein, fiber and some micronutrients, but plant proteins are lower in certain essential amino acids (important for cats in particular) and high inclusion of legumes can create formulation imbalances, so manufacturers typically supplement limiting amino acids and process pea flour to reduce anti-nutritional factors; pet owners should note rare allergies and rely on complete, balanced diets rather than single-ingredient comparisons.
05
Natural Flavor
Natural flavor is used primarily as a palatability enhancer in pet foods to improve taste and aroma and is not intended to provide significant nutrients, typically coming from concentrated extracts of meat, poultry, plant, or fermentation sources. While it can increase acceptance in picky dogs and cats, manufacturers are not required to disclose specific sources so pets with known sensitivities or allergies may react, and presence of natural flavor should not be taken as a guarantee of overall product quality.
