Strong Choice
This food is a good fit for healthy adult cats who do well on a mixed-protein, fish-inclusive diet and benefit from extra moisture. The protein comes from a blend of duck, tuna, sardine, and egg, which suits many cats that enjoy variety in animal proteins. It’s formulated to be complete and balanced for adult maintenance, so it can be used as a primary diet rather than just a topper.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Multiple animal proteins from duck, tuna, sardine, and egg provide a rich mix of essential amino acids.
- Very high moisture content can help support hydration, which is especially helpful for cats that don’t drink much water.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance, so it is complete and balanced for adult cats.
- Includes added taurine and a broad vitamin and mineral premix to support overall health needs in adult cats.
Considerations
- Contains fish and egg, so it would not be suitable for cats with known allergies to these ingredients.
- The use of multiple protein sources means it is not ideal as a true elimination diet for investigating food allergies.
- The relatively low fat level may not provide enough calories for very thin or high-activity cats unless portions are adjusted.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Duck Broth
Duck broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavorful liquid to boost palatability and moisture, and it can contribute modest amounts of amino acids and minerals depending on how it’s made. It can help entice picky dogs and cats and encourage hydration, but caregivers should check labels for high sodium, added onions/garlic or excessive fat, and avoid broths with bone fragments or if the animal has a poultry allergy or pancreatitis risk.
02
Duck
Duck is used in pet food primarily as a flavorful animal protein and fat source, commonly included in limited-ingredient or novel-protein formulas for dogs and cats. It supplies high-quality amino acids and energy and can help pets with sensitivities to common proteins, but it is relatively rich in fat (so may be unsuitable for low‑fat or pancreatitis-prone animals), can still trigger allergies in some pets, and requires proper cooking/processing and handling to avoid bacterial contamination.

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
Sardine
Sardine serves as a rich animal protein and palatability enhancer in pet food, supplying highly digestible protein, abundant omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), B vitamins and vitamin D, and when included whole can provide calcium and phosphorus. They can benefit both dogs and cats by supporting skin and coat, joint and cardiac health, but owners should watch for high sodium in some canned products, potential fish allergies or digestive upset in sensitive animals, and choose sustainably sourced, low‑sodium options to minimize contaminant exposure.

05
Egg
Eggs are used in pet foods as a highly digestible, complete animal protein and nutrient source—providing essential amino acids, bioavailable vitamins (A, D, E, B-complex including B12), minerals like selenium and iron, choline and healthy fats—while also improving palatability and texture. They support muscle maintenance, skin/coat and cognitive health in dogs and cats, but raw eggs can carry bacterial risk and contain avidin in whites that may reduce biotin with long-term feeding; some pets may also have egg allergies or require portion control for calorie management.
