Seafood Sunday Wet Cat Food
Verified May 18, 2026
A tuna- and shrimp-based wet food in broth designed for cats of all ages, including kittens. It offers animal protein from wild-caught tuna and shrimp, with a simple, grain-free ingredient list and added vitamins, minerals, and taurine for complete daily nutrition. The light, flaky texture in broth can work well for cats that prefer softer, more hydrating meals or have sensitive stomachs.
This is a high-quality wet food centered around named seafood ingredients, with tuna as the first ingredient and shrimp as an additional animal protein source. The formula is simple, grain-free, and limited in ingredients, which can be helpful for some sensitive cats. It should suit most healthy cats, including kittens and adults, who do well on fish-based diets and maintain good body condition on a relatively low-fat, moderate-protein wet food.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Named animal proteins (tuna and shrimp) at the top of the ingredient list provide high-quality, highly digestible protein for cats.
- Very simple, limited-ingredient, grain-free recipe that may be easier to manage for some cats with food sensitivities (as long as they tolerate fish).
- Wet, flakes-in-broth texture helps with hydration and can be easier to eat for cats with dental or mouth discomfort.
- Contains added taurine, vitamins, and chelated minerals to support complete daily nutrition for all life stages, including kittens.
Considerations
- Fish (especially tuna) and shrimp are common allergens for some cats, so this wouldn’t be a good choice for cats with known fish or shellfish allergies.
- The fat content is on the low side for a wet cat food, which may not be ideal for very active, underweight, or hard-keeping cats that need more calories per bite.
- A fish-heavy diet long term can be very appealing to cats, but some individuals may do better with rotation that includes non-fish proteins to reduce reliance on seafood.

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
Vegetable Broth
Vegetable broth is typically used in pet foods and toppers as a low-calorie flavor enhancer and source of moisture to improve palatability and encourage drinking, but it contributes negligible protein or fat. It can provide small amounts of vitamins and minerals depending on the vegetables used, yet pet owners should check labels for added salt, onion or garlic (toxic to dogs and cats), and other seasonings or preservatives that may be unsuitable for pets or sodium-restricted diets.
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.
04
Potato Starch
Potato starch is a highly digestible carbohydrate commonly used in pet foods as a binder, thickener and texture agent to help kibble formation, stabilize wet formulas and create chewy treats. It provides readily available energy but is low in protein, fat and micronutrients, so while generally safe, its high glycemic load and limited nutritional value mean it should be used sparingly—particularly for overweight pets, diabetic animals or cats on low‑carbohydrate diets, and excessive amounts can sometimes contribute to loose stools.
05
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source to increase energy density, palatability and supply linoleic acid (an essential omega‑6) that helps maintain healthy skin and coat. It is beneficial for dogs and cats but is high in omega‑6 and low in omega‑3—so formulas should balance fatty acids to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; it is calorie‑dense (important for weight control and pancreatitis-prone animals) and may require antioxidants or high‑oleic formulations for better shelf stability.
