Chicken Breast & Tuna Fillet in Broth Wet Cat Food

Verified Jul 22, 2026

Cat · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a simple, meat-focused wet topper or complementary food for adult cats, featuring chicken breast and tuna fillet in a broth with a small amount of rice. It’s very high in moisture and quite low in fat and calories, making it useful for extra hydration and palatability alongside a complete dry or wet diet. It’s best used as part of a broader feeding plan, not as a stand-alone, complete diet.

KibbleLab Score
8.0 out of 10

Strong Choice

This product offers very straightforward, high–meat ingredients with no unnecessary extras, and works well as a hydrating topper for adult cats who enjoy chicken and fish. The protein level is appropriate for a broth-style food, and the calorie density is low, which can help when you want to add flavor and moisture without many extra calories. It is labeled as complementary rather than complete, so it needs to be paired with a fully balanced cat food to meet all nutrient requirements long term.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Short, simple ingredient list built around named muscle meats (chicken breast and tuna fillet) as primary components.
  • Very high moisture content, which can help support hydration in cats that don’t drink much on their own.
  • Low calorie and very low fat, useful for adding palatability and variety without significantly increasing daily calories when fed as a topper.
  • Free of common carbohydrate-heavy fillers; only a small amount of rice is included.

Considerations

  • This is a complementary food, not a complete and balanced diet, so it must be fed alongside a nutritionally complete cat food to avoid deficiencies over time.
  • Contains both chicken and tuna, which are common protein allergens for some cats and may not be suitable if your cat has known sensitivities to these proteins.
  • Very low fat content may not be ideal as a major calorie source; relying on this alone could lead to an unbalanced diet and inadequate energy intake.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Chicken Breast
Chicken breast is a lean, highly digestible animal protein commonly used in dog and cat foods to supply essential amino acids for muscle maintenance, growth, and overall energy while contributing relatively little fat. It is palatable and often featured in limited-ingredient or weight-management formulas, but can be a common food allergen for some pets and—especially in home-prepared or raw diets—requires proper cooking/handling and should be part of a nutritionally complete formula (cats in particular still need guaranteed taurine and other nutrients).
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
Tuna Fillet
Tuna fillet is commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable, lean animal protein that provides EPA/DHA omega‑3 fatty acids, B vitamins (notably B12) and minerals like selenium, supporting skin and coat condition, cognitive health and general protein needs for both dogs and cats. It should be fed in moderation and within a balanced diet because frequent large servings—especially canned tuna—can contribute to mercury and excess sodium exposure, and raw tuna may carry parasites or enzymes that affect thiamine; prefer cooked, boneless, unsalted preparations and consult your veterinarian for long‑term use.
04
Rice
Rice is a common carbohydrate source and binder in dog and cat foods, supplying readily digestible energy and often used in formulations for sensitive stomachs or hypoallergenic diets. White rice is gentle and easy to digest while brown rice provides more fiber and micronutrients, but rice is low in essential amino acids, has a relatively high glycemic index, and can accumulate trace arsenic, so it should not be relied on as a primary protein and portions should be considered for diabetic or weight‑management pets.
