Chunks in Broth Beef & Tuna Recipe Wet Cat Food

Verified Jun 6, 2026

Cat · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a canned, chunk-style wet food for adult cats that uses beef, chicken, and tuna as its main animal protein sources, in a hydrating mix of beef, fish, and turkey broths. It’s formulated to be complete and balanced for adult maintenance, with added taurine, omega-rich salmon oil, and a variety of fruits and vegetables for micronutrients. The relatively high moisture and moderate calorie density can work well for cats who benefit from extra water in their diet.

KibbleLab Score
8.4 out of 10

A high-moisture, animal-protein–focused wet food that should suit most healthy adult cats. It offers multiple quality animal ingredients, appropriate protein and fat levels for a canned diet, and is complete and balanced for adult maintenance. The variety of proteins is nutritious but may not be ideal if you’re trying to do a very simple or limited-ingredient diet for a cat with food sensitivities.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Multiple named animal proteins (beef, chicken, tuna, egg) high in the ingredient list provide good-quality, highly bioavailable protein for cats.
  • Very high moisture content with multiple meat broths, which can help support overall hydration—especially helpful for cats that don’t drink much water.
  • Contains added taurine and a mix of omega-3 and omega-6 sources, including salmon oil, which support heart, eye, and skin/coat health needs in cats.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance, so it can be fed as a sole diet for healthy adult cats.

Considerations

  • Includes several common protein allergens (beef, chicken, fish, egg), so it may not be suitable for cats with known food allergies to these ingredients.
  • This recipe is designed for adult maintenance only and isn’t appropriate as the primary diet for kittens or pregnant/nursing cats.
  • The variety of different protein sources makes it less suitable as an elimination or very simple diet if you’re trying to pinpoint a specific food sensitivity.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.
02
Beef Broth
Beef broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a savory flavoring and moisture enhancer to boost palatability and encourage hydration, and depending on preparation can contribute small amounts of protein, minerals and gelatin-derived collagen. Care should be taken because commercial broths are often high in sodium and may contain added ingredients (onion, garlic, spices, preservatives or sweeteners) that can be harmful to dogs or cats, so choose low-sodium, pet-safe formulations and avoid if your pet has a beef allergy or sodium-sensitive condition.
03
Fish Broth
Fish broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavor and moisture enhancer, providing modest amounts of fish-derived protein, amino acids, minerals and sometimes trace omega‑3s but not serving as a primary source of complete nutrition. It can improve hydration and entice picky, senior, or ill dogs and cats to eat, but caregivers should watch for high sodium, added seasonings (especially onion or garlic), potential fish allergies, and variable quality depending on processing.
04
Turkey Broth
Turkey broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavoring and moisture enhancer to improve palatability, and in wet formulas it contributes small amounts of protein, amino acids and electrolytes. It can help entice dogs and cats to eat or increase hydration, but caregivers should check sodium levels and avoid broths with onion, garlic, xylitol or other harmful additives, and be mindful if the pet has a poultry allergy.
05
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.
