Sliced Chicken Hearts & Liver Feast Wet Cat Food
Verified May 4, 2026
This is a high-moisture, gravy-style wet food for adult cats featuring chicken, chicken hearts, and chicken livers as key animal protein sources. It provides complete and balanced nutrition for adult maintenance with added taurine, vitamins, and minerals. The thin slices in poultry broth make it a palatable option for cats who enjoy meaty pieces in gravy.
Overall, this is a solid, palatable wet food for adult cats that provides complete and balanced nutrition with multiple organ meats contributing important nutrients. The protein level is appropriate for a canned adult cat diet, and the guaranteed taurine plus full vitamin and mineral premix support long-term maintenance. It relies on some plant proteins like wheat gluten and soy flour, but still has several animal-based ingredients high in the list, which many cats do well on.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Multiple animal protein sources, including chicken, chicken hearts, chicken livers, and meat by-products, which can be rich in essential nutrients.
- Complete and balanced to AAFCO standards for adult maintenance, with added taurine and a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals.
- High moisture (up to 78%) can help support hydration, which is especially helpful for cats that don’t drink much water.
- No artificial colors or preservatives, which some owners prefer while still maintaining product stability.
Considerations
- Contains wheat gluten and soy flour, so it’s not ideal for cats that need to avoid gluten or soy due to specific dietary recommendations or past reactions.
- Includes generic “liver” and “meat by-products” without specifying species for those items, which may matter if you are strictly avoiding certain proteins for allergy workups.
- Lower fat level than some other canned cat foods, which may not be as calorie-dense for very active or hard-to-keep-weight-on cats and could require a bit more volume to maintain weight.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Poultry Broth
Poultry broth is used in pet foods as a flavorful, moistening base or gravy to enhance palatability and encourage hydration, supplying small amounts of soluble protein, minerals and electrolytes while being generally low in calories. It can help stimulate appetite and increase fluid intake, but owners should check labels for high sodium, added fats or toxic seasonings (such as onion or garlic) and avoid it for pets with poultry allergies or conditions requiring sodium restriction.
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
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
Chicken Heart
Chicken heart is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable animal protein source, providing taurine, B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and coenzyme Q10. It supports lean muscle and, for cats, provides essential taurine, but should be included as part of a balanced formulation and properly sourced/processed to reduce bacterial risk, since excessive organ intake can unbalance nutrients or be a concern for pets with specific metabolic or urate-stone issues.
05
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
