Strong Choice
This is a flavorful, hydrating topper that can make regular cat food more appealing while adding some extra animal protein and moisture. With tuna broth and tuna at the top of the ingredient list and very low fat, it suits most healthy adult cats as an occasional treat or meal enhancement. It’s not complete and balanced on its own, so it should always be used alongside a regular cat food that meets full nutritional requirements.

Benefits the manufacturer highlights in its own product marketing. KibbleLab lists them for reference and does not verify these claims.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Tuna broth and tuna as the main ingredients provide animal protein and a strong, palatable flavor for most cats.
- Very high moisture content can help support overall water intake, which is especially helpful for cats that don’t drink much on their own.
- Clear labeling as a supplemental food encourages use as a topper or treat rather than a sole diet.
- Low calorie content per pouch makes it easier to add some variety without significantly impacting daily calorie intake when used appropriately.
Considerations
- This product is not complete and balanced and should never be used as the only food; it must be combined with a full, AAFCO-compliant cat diet.
- Tuna is a common protein allergen for some cats, so this would not be appropriate for cats with fish allergies or known tuna sensitivities.
- Very low fat content means it should not be relied on to meet a cat’s essential fat and fatty acid needs; those must come from the main diet.
- Frequent, large amounts of tuna-based toppers are generally best avoided for cats that already eat a fish-heavy main diet, to keep overall fish intake reasonable.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Tuna Broth
Tuna broth is used in pet foods and toppers mainly as a flavor enhancer and moisture source to improve palatability and encourage hydration; it may contribute small amounts of fish-derived protein and omega‑3s but is not a significant standalone protein source. While it can make meals more appealing, pet parents should watch for added salt or preservatives, potential fish allergies, and contaminants such as mercury or histamine, and remember tuna broth does not provide a complete, balanced nutrient profile (including taurine for cats).
02
Tuna
Tuna is commonly used in pet foods as a highly palatable animal protein and flavor enhancer, providing readily digestible protein and omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) along with B vitamins for both dogs and cats. While nutritionally beneficial, tuna can be high in mercury or sodium (especially canned), and feeding it exclusively or frequently may cause nutrient imbalances (including risks for thiamine or taurine issues in cats), so it should be offered in moderation as part of a complete, balanced diet.

03
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.
04
Guar Gum
Guar gum is a soluble plant-derived fiber commonly used in pet foods as a thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier to improve texture, moisture retention and prevent separation in wet foods, gravies and coatings. It provides little nutritional value beyond soluble fiber—which can help stool consistency and modestly slow digestion—but excessive amounts may cause gastrointestinal upset or affect nutrient absorption, so it is used at controlled low levels and is generally considered safe for most dogs and cats.
05
Parsley
Parsley is used in pet foods primarily as a natural flavoring and breath‑freshening herb that also contributes small amounts of vitamins (notably vitamin K and vitamin C), folate, antioxidants and some fiber. While safe in culinary amounts for most dogs and cats, concentrated extracts, seeds or large quantities can be harmful (containing compounds such as apiol/myristicin), may affect pregnant animals or interact with anticoagulant medications, and can increase oxalate load in susceptible pets, so its use in formulas is typically minor and controlled.
