Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a well-formulated lickable treat with named animal proteins (chicken and scallop) and very high moisture, which can help with day-to-day hydration. Added taurine, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and vitamin E are nice extras for cats, especially when used regularly alongside a balanced main diet. It’s best suited as a supplemental treat or topper for healthy cats who are already eating a complete and balanced cat food.

Strengths
- Uses named animal proteins (chicken and scallop) near the top of the ingredient list, providing good-quality, highly palatable protein for a treat.
- Very high moisture content (about 88%), which can help increase overall water intake for cats who don’t drink much.
- Includes added taurine plus omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from fish oil, along with vitamin E, which are all beneficial nutrients for cats when used as part of an overall balanced diet.
- Low calorie per tube, making it easier to use for bonding, giving medications, or encouraging appetite without adding a lot of extra calories.
Considerations
- This is a treat, not a complete and balanced diet, so it should only be fed in small amounts alongside a nutritionally complete cat food.
- Contains chicken, scallop (fish/shellfish), and soybean oil, so it is not suitable for cats with known allergies or sensitivities to poultry, fish/shellfish, or soy.
- Tapioca starch and gums are used for texture; they are safe but do not add meaningful nutrition beyond calories, so portions should still be monitored, especially in overweight cats.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Water
Water is an essential nutrient and the primary solvent and moisture component in pet foods, especially wet and canned diets, and is also used in processing and to adjust texture and palatability. It is vital for digestion, nutrient transport, temperature regulation and waste removal in dogs and cats; pets must have constant access to clean water as dehydration can quickly lead to serious health issues and requirements increase with activity, heat, or illness, while moisture in wet food can help meet part of their daily needs.
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
Tapioca Starch
Tapioca starch is a purified carbohydrate used in pet foods mainly as a thickener, binder and easily digestible energy source, contributing virtually no protein, fat, vitamins or minerals. It is low‑allergy and gluten‑free, but because it is a high‑glycemic, low‑nutrient filler it should be limited in diets for overweight or diabetic pets and not relied on for essential nutrition.
04
Scallop
Scallop is used in pet foods as a lean seafood protein and flavoring ingredient, supplying highly digestible amino acids along with trace nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, magnesium and modest amounts of long‑chain omega‑3s. It can be a palatable novel protein for dogs and cats, but owners should be aware of shellfish allergy potential, the risk of bacterial contamination from raw or poorly processed scallops, and higher sodium or additives in some prepared products.

05
Soybean Oil
Soybean oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source and palatability enhancer, providing energy and omega‑6 fatty acids (primarily linoleic acid) that support skin and coat condition. Because it is calorie‑dense and higher in omega‑6 than omega‑3, formulators balance it with omega‑3 sources to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; highly refined soybean oil is unlikely to trigger soy protein allergies but can oxidize and should be stabilized and stored properly, and it does not supply the arachidonic acid cats require from animal fats.
