Trout, Salmon & Shrimp Stew Wet Cat Food
Verified Jun 14, 2026
This is a fish-based canned stew for adult cats, using trout, salmon, tuna, cod, herring, and shrimp as its main protein sources. The formula is relatively low in fat and calories for a wet food and includes herring oil for omega-3s, with sweet potato as the primary carbohydrate. It is formulated to be a complete and balanced maintenance diet for adult cats according to AAFCO standards.
This is a high–seafood, complete wet diet for adult cats that emphasizes multiple fish proteins and modest fat levels, making it a good fit for cats who do well on leaner, fish-heavy formulas. The ingredient list is straightforward, with named fish at the top and added omega-3s from herring oil, plus taurine and L-carnitine. Its relatively low calorie density per can can help with portion control for cats prone to weight gain, as long as total daily intake is appropriate for the cat’s needs.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Multiple named fish and shrimp as primary ingredients provide high-quality, highly palatable animal protein.
- Wet stew format with 79% moisture can help support hydration, which is especially helpful for cats that don’t drink much water.
- Includes herring oil as a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can support skin, coat, and overall wellness.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance, so it is complete and balanced for adult cats when fed as the main diet.
Considerations
- Relies entirely on fish and shrimp proteins, which can be an issue for cats with fish allergies or those already eating a lot of fish-based foods.
- The fat content is on the lower side for a wet cat food, which may not provide enough energy for very active or underweight cats unless larger portions are fed.
- Sweet potato is the main carbohydrate source; while generally well tolerated, cats with specific carb sensitivities may need monitoring when switching foods.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Trout
Trout is used in pet foods as a high-quality animal protein and palatable fish ingredient that supplies essential amino acids, omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA), B vitamins and minerals to support skin, coat, immune and joint health in dogs and cats. It can serve as a novel protein for sensitive pets, but owners should ensure trout is responsibly sourced and properly cooked or processed to eliminate parasites and reduce contaminant risk, watch for fish allergies in some animals, and avoid feeding whole bones to prevent choking or gastrointestinal injury.
02
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.
03
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.
04
Cod
Cod is a lean white fish used in pet foods as a high-quality, easily digestible animal protein that provides essential amino acids, B vitamins (notably B12), selenium and modest amounts of omega‑3 fatty acids for skin, coat and overall health. It is palatable and low in fat, but should be properly deboned and sourced; avoid feeding raw fish without appropriate processing (some raw fish can contain enzymes that affect thiamine) and monitor for fish allergies or contaminants such as mercury.
05
Herring
Herring is commonly used as a high-quality, palatable fish protein and oil source in dog and cat foods, supplying digestible protein along with beneficial long-chain omega-3s (EPA/DHA), vitamin D, B vitamins and trace minerals. It can support skin, coat and joint health, but may be an allergen for some pets and raw fish can contain thiaminase (typically destroyed by commercial cooking); owners should also consider fat content for pancreatitis-prone animals and look for responsibly sourced, low-contaminant products.
