Baked Kibble Lamb & Egg Recipe Dry Cat Food
Verified Jun 9, 2026
This is a high-protein, baked dry cat food for adult cats that uses lamb, herring meal, and egg as its main animal protein sources. It includes multiple fiber sources and added prebiotics to help support digestion, along with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for skin and coat health. The recipe is designed for adult cats, including those with more sensitive stomachs or digestive issues.
Nutritionally, this is a high-quality dry food for adult cats, with an emphasis on digestible animal proteins and digestive support. The protein and fat levels are well suited to most healthy adult cats, and the added prebiotics, probiotics, and diverse fibers align nicely with its digestive-health focus. It’s a strong option for cats who do well on lamb and fish-based diets, especially if you’re looking for extra support for stool quality and gut health.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Very high protein (40% minimum) from named animal sources including lamb, herring meal, lamb meal, and egg, which helps meet cats’ needs as obligate carnivores.
- Includes prebiotics (inulin), a probiotic (Bacillus coagulans), and several fiber sources like miscanthus grass and flaxseed that can help support gut health and stool quality.
- Contains added taurine and a full complement of vitamins and minerals appropriate for adult cats, plus omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for skin and coat support.
- Uses a baked kibble process, which some cats find especially palatable and can give a slightly different texture compared with traditional extruded kibble.
Considerations
- Contains peas as a carbohydrate and fiber source; while fine for most cats, a small number may not do well with pea-heavy formulas.
- Includes natural chicken flavor, so it’s not suitable for cats with chicken allergies despite lamb and fish being the main proteins.
- At about 478 kcal per cup, it is fairly calorie-dense, so portions need to be measured carefully to avoid unwanted weight gain, especially in indoor or less active cats.
- Multiple animal proteins (lamb, fish, egg, chicken flavor) mean it’s not a limited-ingredient option for cats who need very simple diets for food allergy workups.

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
Herring
Herring is commonly used as a high-quality, palatable fish protein and oil source in dog and cat foods, supplying digestible protein along with beneficial long-chain omega-3s (EPA/DHA), vitamin D, B vitamins and trace minerals. It can support skin, coat and joint health, but may be an allergen for some pets and raw fish can contain thiaminase (typically destroyed by commercial cooking); owners should also consider fat content for pancreatitis-prone animals and look for responsibly sourced, low-contaminant products.
03
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.
04
Egg Product
Egg product is used in pet foods as a high-quality, highly digestible animal protein and palatability enhancer, providing complete essential amino acids, fats, vitamins (such as A, D and B12), minerals and choline, and it often serves as a binder or emulsifier when included as whole, dried or concentrated egg. It supplies bioavailable nutrients for dogs and cats but can be a food allergen for some individuals, may be higher in fat depending on yolk content, and should be properly processed (pasteurized or cooked) to reduce microbial risk.
05
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.
