Lamb & King Salmon Feast Canned Cat Food

Verified May 22, 2026

Cat · Wet All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a high-meat, grain-free canned food for cats of all life stages, using lamb organs and king salmon as its main protein sources. The formula is relatively low in carbohydrates and includes flaxseed and New Zealand green mussel, which contribute omega fatty acids. It’s designed to be fed as a complete diet or as a topper to add extra moisture and protein to your cat’s meals.

KibbleLab Score
8.7 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a high-quality, meat-forward wet food that should suit most healthy cats, including kittens and adults, who do well on lamb and fish proteins. The use of organ meats and salmon helps provide a rich amino acid and micronutrient profile, while the added taurine and AAFCO all-life-stages formulation indicate it’s designed as a complete diet. It’s particularly appealing for owners looking for a grain-free, lower-carbohydrate canned option with good moisture content.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • High proportion of animal ingredients (lamb heart, kidney, liver, blood, plus salmon) supporting strong protein quality and essential nutrients.
  • Grain-free and low in carbohydrates, which can be helpful for cats that do better on meat-heavy, lower-carb diets.
  • Includes salmon, flaxseed flakes, and New Zealand green mussel, which are natural sources of omega fatty acids that support skin, coat, and joint health.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, so it can be used for kittens and adult cats as a complete and balanced diet.

Considerations

  • Contains lamb and salmon, which are common protein allergens for some cats; not ideal if your cat has known sensitivities to these proteins.
  • Organ-meat–rich formulas can be very nutrient-dense; for cats with a history of pancreatitis or needing lower-fat options, a veterinarian should help decide if this fat level is appropriate.
  • Grain-free formulation relies mostly on animal ingredients and flaxseed; while generally fine for cats, very sensitive digestive systems may need a slower transition.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Lamb Heart
Lamb heart is a nutrient-dense organ meat used in pet foods and treats as a high-quality animal protein and palatability enhancer, often offered as a novel protein for pets with food sensitivities. It supplies essential amino acids (including taurine and carnitine), B vitamins and minerals important for canine—and especially feline—health, but should be used as part of balanced formulations and handled or cooked safely if fed raw to avoid nutrient imbalances or food-safety risks.
02
Water
Water is an essential nutrient and the primary solvent and moisture component in pet foods, especially wet and canned diets, and is also used in processing and to adjust texture and palatability. It is vital for digestion, nutrient transport, temperature regulation and waste removal in dogs and cats; pets must have constant access to clean water as dehydration can quickly lead to serious health issues and requirements increase with activity, heat, or illness, while moisture in wet food can help meet part of their daily needs.
03
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.
04
Lamb Kidney
Lamb kidney is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a high-quality protein source that adds moisture, palatability and is rich in B vitamins (including B12), iron, copper and other trace minerals. It can be a valuable novel protein for dogs and cats, but because organ meats are nutrient-dense and relatively high in purines, it should be included in balanced amounts and properly handled or cooked/processed to minimize microbial risk.
05
Lamb Liver
Lamb liver is an organ meat used as a nutrient-dense protein and flavor enhancer in pet foods and treats, supplying concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), iron, copper and high-quality amino acids important for both dogs and cats. It is highly palatable and can help prevent nutrient deficiencies, but should be fed in moderation because excessive liver intake can lead to vitamin A toxicity and digestive upset, and proper sourcing/handling is important to avoid foodborne pathogens.
