Lickable Spoons Chicken Flavor With Tuna Chunks Cat Treats

Verified Jun 17, 2026

Cat · Treat All Breed Sizes

This is a lickable, wet cat treat designed to be fed from a spoon or used as a topper, featuring chicken and tuna as the main protein sources. Its high moisture content makes it more of a hydrating snack than a calorie-dense food. It’s meant to complement your cat’s regular, complete diet rather than replace it.

KibbleLab Score
7.4 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a reasonably well-formulated lickable treat with animal-based ingredients (chicken, tuna, chicken by-products, and liver) near the top of the list and added taurine and B vitamins. The texture and high moisture make it appealing for cats that enjoy wet or lickable treats, and it can help encourage appetite or add variety to meals. As with any treat, it should be fed in moderation alongside a complete and balanced cat food.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Uses multiple animal-based ingredients (chicken, tuna, chicken by-products, chicken liver) as primary components, which helps provide palatability and amino acids.
  • Very high moisture content, which can be helpful for cats that naturally drink less water.
  • Includes added taurine and several B vitamins, which are important for feline health, even in a treat product.
  • Soft, lickable texture can be useful for older cats or those with dental issues who struggle with crunchy treats.

Considerations

  • This is a treat, not a complete diet, so it should only make up a small portion of your cat’s daily intake and must be fed with a complete cat food.
  • Contains chicken and fish, both common allergens for cats with food sensitivities, so it’s not a good fit for cats that react to those proteins.
  • The protein and fat levels are relatively low, reflecting that this is more of a flavorful, watery snack than a nutrient-dense food, so it should not be relied on for core nutrition.

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
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.
04
Chicken By-Product
Chicken by-product is a common protein ingredient in pet foods made from edible parts of the bird not typically consumed by people—such as organs (liver, heart), necks and other tissues—and is used to add protein, flavor and nutrient density. It can provide concentrated protein, essential amino acids, B vitamins and minerals (and may contribute taurine when organ meats are included), but composition and quality vary by source, so pet parents concerned about sourcing, higher ash/fat content or chicken allergies should check the manufacturer’s labeling and quality standards.
05
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
