7.2 out of 10

Solid Option

Overall, this is a solid, everyday wet food option for healthy adult cats who enjoy beef-based recipes. It provides moderate protein, low fat, and controlled fiber, and it’s fully AAFCO-formulated for adult maintenance. The use of wheat gluten and soy flour helps boost protein but may not suit cats with specific ingredient sensitivities.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult cat maintenance, so it can be fed as a complete diet.
  • Beef and liver provide animal-based protein and essential amino acids for cats.
  • Added taurine, vitamins, and minerals help cover key feline nutritional needs.
  • Wet texture with high moisture can help support overall hydration in cats that don’t drink much water.

Considerations

  • Contains wheat gluten and soy flour, which may be an issue for cats with known sensitivities to these ingredients.
  • Fat level is on the low side, which may not be ideal for very active or underweight cats needing more calories from fat.
  • Multiple protein sources, including beef and meat by-products, make it less suitable as an option for strict elimination diets.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Beef Broth
Beef broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a savory flavoring and moisture enhancer to boost palatability and encourage hydration, and depending on preparation can contribute small amounts of protein, minerals and gelatin-derived collagen. Care should be taken because commercial broths are often high in sodium and may contain added ingredients (onion, garlic, spices, preservatives or sweeteners) that can be harmful to dogs or cats, so choose low-sodium, pet-safe formulations and avoid if your pet has a beef allergy or sodium-sensitive condition.
02
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.

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
Tomato
Tomato is commonly used in pet foods as a source of fiber, natural color/flavor and antioxidants (notably lycopene) and appears in forms like tomato pomace or dried tomato meal rather than as a primary protein. While ripe tomato components can provide vitamins and antioxidant benefits, they are not nutritionally essential for dogs or cats and green stems/leaves (and unripe fruit) contain solanine/tomatine that can be toxic; acidic or heavily seasoned tomato products may also cause stomach upset or contain added salt/sugar to avoid.
