Medleys Tuna Primavera In Silky Broth
Verified Jun 7, 2026
This is a wet, broth-style adult cat food featuring tuna as the primary protein, supported by chicken, meat by-products, and liver for additional nutrients. It provides complete and balanced nutrition for adult cats, with vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and spinach mainly contributing flavor and texture rather than major nutrients. The relatively low calorie density makes it suitable for cats who benefit from higher-moisture meals or careful calorie control.
A well-formulated adult wet food that uses tuna plus additional animal proteins and by-products to provide complete and balanced nutrition. The high moisture and moderate calorie content can be helpful for cats who do better with wet diets or need help maintaining a healthy weight. It does rely on wheat gluten and soy flour as part of the texture and protein mix, which may not suit cats with known sensitivities to these ingredients.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Complete and balanced for adult maintenance according to AAFCO, so it can be fed as a sole diet for healthy adult cats.
- Multiple animal protein sources, including tuna, chicken, meat by-products, and liver, which can provide a good amino acid profile and natural vitamins and minerals.
- Very high moisture content, which supports overall hydration and can be useful for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.
- Moderate calorie density (about 67 kcal per can), which can help with portion control for cats prone to weight gain when fed according to directions.
Considerations
- Contains wheat gluten and soy flour, which are safe for most cats but may be problematic for those with confirmed wheat or soy allergies or intolerances.
- Fish is a common feline allergen, so this may not be appropriate for cats with known fish allergies or suspected fish-triggered skin or GI issues.
- Relatively low fat content compared with some other wet foods, which might not be ideal for very active or underweight cats that need a more energy-dense diet.

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
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.
05
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.
