Tuna & Chicken Recipe in Scallop Broth Treat

Verified Jun 15, 2026

Cat · Treat All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a moist, low-calorie cat treat made with tuna, chicken, and scallop in a scallop broth gel, designed to be fed alongside your cat’s regular diet. It’s very high in moisture and relatively low in fat, which can help support hydration while adding extra flavor and protein. It works well as a snack or food topper rather than a complete meal.

KibbleLab Score
7.8 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a nice, hydrating topper or snack for most cats, with named animal proteins (tuna, chicken, scallop) and very few non-functional ingredients. The high moisture and modest calorie content make it a light treat option that can encourage picky eaters to consume more of their regular food. It is not a complete and balanced diet, so it should only be a small part of the overall daily intake.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Uses clearly named animal proteins (tuna, chicken, scallop) high on the ingredient list, which provide good-quality protein.
  • Very high moisture and low calories per serving, making it a good option for hydration support and for cats that need lower-calorie treats.
  • Simple ingredient list without artificial colors and with added vitamin E and green tea extract as antioxidants.
  • Chunk-in-gel texture and broth base can be useful for topping dry or wet food to increase palatability.

Considerations

  • This product is a treat and not formulated to be a complete, balanced diet, so it should not replace your cat’s main food.
  • Contains both tuna and chicken, which are common protein allergens; not ideal for cats with known sensitivities to these proteins.
  • Relatively low fat content, which is fine for a treat but means it does not provide the balanced energy profile needed for a full meal.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Scallop Broth
Scallop broth is used in pet foods and toppers primarily as a flavorful, moisture-rich palatant and liquid ingredient that can provide some soluble seafood proteins and trace minerals while boosting palatability and hydration for dogs and cats. It can help entice picky eaters and encourage water intake, but owners should check labels for high sodium, preservatives or toxic seasonings (e.g., garlic/onion) and be aware of possible shellfish allergies—it is not a complete source of nutrition and should complement a balanced diet.
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
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.
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
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.
