KibbleLab Score
7.8 out of 10

Solid Option

This is a balanced, palatable wet food suitable for healthy kittens and adult cats who enjoy gravy-style meals and fish flavors. It uses a mix of tuna, meat by-products, and chicken to supply protein, with added taurine and a full vitamin-mineral premix to meet AAFCO standards. The low fat level may suit some cats but could be a bit light in calories for very active or underweight cats if not fed in sufficient amounts.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Formulated to meet AAFCO profiles for both kitten growth and adult maintenance, so it can be used long term for most cats.
  • Multiple animal protein sources, including tuna, meat by-products, and chicken, help provide a complete amino acid profile.
  • Wet, high-moisture format can help support overall hydration, which is useful for many cats.
  • No artificial colors or preservatives are listed, which some owners prefer while still maintaining product safety.

Considerations

  • Fish is a common feline allergen, so this may not be ideal for cats with known fish sensitivities.
  • Protein is moderate for a wet food, so very active or underweight cats may need careful portioning or additional calories.
  • Includes dairy-derived ingredients like cheese, whey, and non-fat milk, which can bother some very sensitive cats.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Fish Broth
Fish broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavor and moisture enhancer, providing modest amounts of fish-derived protein, amino acids, minerals and sometimes trace omega‑3s but not serving as a primary source of complete nutrition. It can improve hydration and entice picky, senior, or ill dogs and cats to eat, but caregivers should watch for high sodium, added seasonings (especially onion or garlic), potential fish allergies, and variable quality depending on processing.
02
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.

03
Wheat Gluten
Wheat gluten is a concentrated plant protein commonly used in dry pet foods as a protein booster, binder and texture improver to help form kibble and extend meat-based ingredients. It provides digestible protein for dogs and cats but is low in certain essential amino acids (notably lysine) and lacks animal-specific nutrients like taurine, so it should not be the sole protein source; pets with wheat or gluten sensitivities may also experience allergic or gastrointestinal reactions.
04
Liver
Liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat used in pet foods as a high-quality protein source, natural flavor enhancer, and a concentrated supply of vitamins and minerals—particularly vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12 and folate), iron and copper. It offers important micronutrients for both dogs and cats but should be fed in controlled amounts because excessive liver can cause vitamin A (and sometimes copper) toxicity, and raw liver carries food-safety risks unless properly processed.
05
Meat By-Product
Meat by-products are rendered animal parts such as organ meats, blood, bone and other tissues used in pet food as a concentrated source of animal protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. They can provide biologically valuable nutrients—especially for cats, which require animal-derived proteins—but composition and quality vary by source so owners seeking specific ingredients or with pet food sensitivities should look for transparency and regulation-compliant sourcing.
