8.3 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a well-formulated, complete and balanced wet food for adult cats that emphasizes animal protein from chicken and tuna, along with multiple broths that boost palatability and hydration. The protein and fat levels are appropriate for most adult cats, and the added taurine, omega-3 and -6s, and mix of fiber sources support general health. It should work well as a primary diet or as part of a mixed feeding plan for adult cats who tolerate chicken and fish proteins.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken and tuna provide named, high-quality animal protein sources, with several animal broths contributing extra flavor and moisture.
  • Complete and balanced for adult maintenance according to AAFCO nutrient profiles, so it can be used as a sole diet for adult cats.
  • High moisture content (83%) helps support hydration, which is especially helpful for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.
  • Includes taurine at a generous level plus omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from salmon oil, which support heart, eye, skin, and coat health in cats.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken, egg, and fish, which are all common protein allergens; not ideal for cats with known sensitivities to any of these ingredients.
  • Formulated for adult maintenance only, so it is not appropriate as the sole diet for kittens or pregnant/nursing cats.
  • Menadione (a synthetic vitamin K source) is included; while allowed and commonly used, some owners prefer diets without this ingredient.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.

02
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavorful liquid base or gravy to improve palatability and add moisture, providing modest amounts of soluble protein, electrolytes and minerals. It can help encourage eating and increase hydration, but owners should choose low‑sodium, onion‑ and garlic‑free formulations (or make homemade broth), since commercial broths may contain excessive salt, seasonings or additives that are unsafe or unsuitable for dogs and cats.
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
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.
