Natural HQS Tuna and Shrimp in Broth Wet Cat Food
Verified Jun 17, 2026
This is a simple, high-moisture wet food topper for adult and senior cats, made mainly from tuna with a smaller amount of shrimp. It offers a limited-ingredient, high-protein option that can add variety, hydration, and extra animal protein to your cat’s regular complete diet. Because it is labeled for supplemental feeding only, it should be fed alongside a nutritionally complete cat food, not as the sole diet.
Nutritionally, this is a very clean, limited-ingredient fish-based topper that can work well for adult and senior cats who enjoy tuna and shrimp, or for owners wanting to boost moisture and animal protein in the diet. The ingredient list is extremely simple and transparent, and the protein level is quite good for a canned broth-style product. However, it is not a complete and balanced diet, so it needs to be combined with a fortified cat food, and the reliance on tuna means it’s best used as part of a varied rotation rather than the main long-term staple.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Very short, limited-ingredient list with tuna and shrimp as the only caloric ingredients, which is helpful for cats needing simpler formulas.
- High moisture content can support overall hydration, especially for cats that don’t drink much water.
- Good protein level for a broth-based wet product, coming entirely from animal sources.
- Additive-free formulation may appeal for cats that do better on simpler recipes without added flavors or colors.
Considerations
- Labeled for supplemental feeding only, so it does not provide all required vitamins and minerals and must be fed alongside a complete and balanced cat food.
- Fish (tuna and shrimp) are common protein allergens for some cats, so this would not be suitable for cats with known fish or shellfish allergies.
- Frequent feeding of tuna-based foods as the main protein source is generally not ideal long term; better used in rotation with other proteins or as a topper rather than the sole diet.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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.
02
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.
03
Shrimp
Shrimp is used in pet foods and treats as a lean, palatable animal protein and flavor enhancer that supplies high-quality amino acids and nutrients such as vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, small amounts of omega-3s and taurine (important for cats). While nutritious and often well-accepted by dogs and cats, owners should watch for shellfish allergies, high cholesterol and added sodium in processed products, and avoid shells or raw/undercooked shrimp to prevent choking and microbial or contaminant risks—choose cooked, deboned, responsibly sourced shrimp when possible.
