Raw Medley Salmon, Chicken & Turkey Recipe Dry Cat Food
Verified Jun 15, 2026
This is a high-protein dry cat food that combines oven-baked kibble with freeze-dried raw pieces, using salmon, chicken, and turkey as the main animal protein sources. It includes added taurine, omega fatty acids, and a patented Bacillus coagulans probiotic to support digestion and overall wellness in adult cats. The recipe is formulated for adult maintenance and offers a relatively calorie-dense option for active cats who enjoy a mixed kibble/raw texture.
This is a high-quality adult maintenance diet for cats that leans heavily on multiple named animal proteins and incorporates freeze-dried raw components for extra palatability and variety. The protein, fat, and taurine levels are very appropriate for adult cats, and the inclusion of probiotics and several omega-3 and omega-6 sources is a nice nutritional bonus. It’s a rich, calorie-dense food that can work very well for healthy, active adult cats, as long as portions are carefully controlled and it’s not used for kittens or pregnant/lactating cats.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Multiple named animal proteins (deboned salmon, chicken meal, turkey meal, deboned chicken, deboned turkey, salmon meal, various freeze-dried organ meats) provide high-quality, diverse amino acid sources for cats.
- Strong macronutrient profile for an adult cat food, with 38% protein and 16% fat (as fed), plus added taurine at 0.2%, supporting feline-specific nutritional needs.
- Includes probiotics (Bacillus coagulans), chicory root (prebiotic fiber), flaxseed, fish and poultry fats, and relatively high omega-3 and omega-6 levels, which can support gut health, skin, and coat.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for adult maintenance, indicating it provides complete and balanced nutrition for adult cats when fed as the sole diet.
Considerations
- Contains chicken and turkey in many forms (meat, meal, organs), as well as salmon, which are common protein allergens for some cats; not ideal for cats with known poultry or fish allergies.
- Uses chickpeas and lentils as part of the carbohydrate and fiber sources; while this is a cat food (and the DCM concern is better documented in dogs), owners who strongly prefer low-legume formulas may want to note their presence.
- The food is quite calorie-dense at about 432 kcal per cup, so overfeeding is easy; careful portion control is important, especially for indoor or less active cats.
- Designed only for adult maintenance, so it is not appropriate as the sole diet for kittens or for pregnant/lactating queens.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.
02
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.
03
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.
04
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.
05
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.
