The Double Dip Chicken & Beef Wet Cat Food

Verified May 4, 2026

Cat · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a high-moisture canned food for adult cats featuring chicken and beef as the main protein sources in a light broth. It offers moderate protein and relatively low fat with very low carbohydrate content, which can suit many indoor and less active cats. Added fish oil, sunflower oil, and taurine help support overall health, skin, and heart function in a balanced way.

KibbleLab Score
8.4 out of 10

Overall, this is a very good quality wet food for adult cats that prioritizes animal protein, high moisture, and relatively low carbohydrate content. The nutrient profile is on the moderate side for protein and fat, which can work well for many healthy adult cats, especially those who benefit from a leaner diet. It’s a nice option if you’re looking for a chicken-and-beef formula with plenty of moisture and without starchy fillers like potatoes, peas, or grains high up the list.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken and beef are early in the ingredient list, providing named animal protein sources that most cats find palatable.
  • Very high moisture and low carbohydrate, which can support hydration and a more species-appropriate macronutrient balance for many cats.
  • Includes fish oil and sunflower oil, which provide omega fatty acids that can support skin, coat, and overall health.
  • Contains added taurine and a full vitamin–mineral premix to help meet essential nutrient needs for adult cats.

Considerations

  • Contains both chicken and beef, which are common allergens for some cats; not ideal if your cat has known sensitivities to either protein.
  • Protein level is moderate rather than very high on a dry-matter basis, so cats that do best on higher-protein diets may need this paired with another higher-protein option under veterinary guidance.
  • Uses multiple gums (locust bean, guar, xanthan) as thickeners; these are generally safe but can very rarely bother cats with particularly sensitive digestion.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.
02
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.
03
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.
04
Beef Lung
Beef lung is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable, protein-rich ingredient that is relatively lean and easy to digest. It supplies B vitamins, iron and trace minerals but is not a complete diet on its own, so it should come from reputable sources and be properly processed to reduce pathogen risk and monitored for individual food sensitivities.
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.
