Grilled Tender Beef & Liver Feast in Gravy Wet Cat Food

Verified May 31, 2026

Cat · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a canned, gravy-style wet food for adult cats that uses beef, liver, and meat by-products as its main animal protein sources. It offers moderate protein and low fat for a wet diet, with added taurine and a full vitamin and mineral premix to meet adult maintenance needs. The chunky texture in gravy can work well for cats who prefer moist, flavorful meals or need more water in their diet.

KibbleLab Score
7.8 out of 10

A nutritionally complete adult wet food that provides balanced protein from beef, liver, and meat by-products, along with appropriate levels of taurine for cats. The formula is AAFCO-formulated for adult maintenance and offers the benefits of a high-moisture canned diet. It’s a reasonable everyday option for healthy adult cats that do well on moderate-protein, lower-fat wet foods.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Complete and balanced to AAFCO standards for adult cat maintenance, so it can be used as a primary diet for adult cats.
  • Multiple animal protein sources (beef, liver, meat by-products) provide essential amino acids and micronutrients like iron and B vitamins.
  • High moisture content (80%) helps support hydration, which is helpful for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.
  • Includes added taurine and a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals tailored for cats.

Considerations

  • Contains wheat gluten and soy flour, which may not suit cats with known sensitivities to these ingredients.
  • Fat content is on the lower side for a wet food, which may not be ideal for very active or underweight cats that need more calorie density.
  • Uses meat by-products and plant proteins (wheat gluten, soy flour) alongside muscle meat; while nutritionally acceptable, some cats with specific ingredient sensitivities may need a more simplified formula.

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 Liver Broth
Beef liver broth is used in pet foods primarily as a flavor and moisture enhancer and can contribute small amounts of water‑soluble nutrients from liver—notably B vitamins, iron and trace minerals—making it appealing to both dogs and cats. While it can improve palatability and deliver micronutrients, levels vary and buyers should watch for added salt or preservatives, potential beef allergies, and avoid excessive use if pets are on vitamin A or mineral‑restricted diets or have specific medical conditions.
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
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.
05
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.
