Premium Tuna With Anchovies Formula In Aspic Wet Cat Food
Verified Jun 17, 2026
A fish-based, all–life stage canned food featuring tuna and anchovy as the main protein sources, set in an aspic (gel-style) texture. It offers moderate protein and low fat on an as-fed basis, with added taurine, omega fatty acids, and key vitamins and minerals for complete and balanced nutrition. This formula can suit adult cats and growing kittens who enjoy moist, seafood-style diets and benefit from extra hydration.
This is a high-quality wet cat food centered around named fish proteins (tuna and anchovy), with an appropriate mineral and taurine profile for all life stages. The moderate protein and very low fat content make it relatively lean compared with many canned foods, which can be useful for some cats but may not satisfy cats that do better on richer diets. Overall, it’s a solid choice for healthy cats and kittens that like fish-based formulas and benefit from extra moisture in their diet.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Tuna and anchovy are the primary protein sources, providing high-quality animal protein and naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids.
- Complete and balanced for all life stages according to AAFCO, so it can be used for both adult cats and growing kittens.
- Added taurine, DHA, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids support essential feline needs, including heart, eye, and skin/coat health.
- Wet, aspic-style texture offers high moisture content, which can help support hydration in cats that don’t drink much water.
Considerations
- Fish-based diets can be very palatable but may not be ideal as the only long-term protein source for every cat; some cats do better with rotational or mixed proteins.
- Very low fat (minimum 1.5% as-fed) may leave some active or underweight cats less satisfied compared with more calorie-dense wet foods, so body condition should be monitored.
- Contains multiple gelling agents (locust bean gum, carrageenan, guar gum); most cats tolerate these well, but a small number may have sensitive digestion with certain gums.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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.
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
Anchovy
Anchovy is a small oily fish commonly used in pet foods and treats as a high‑quality animal protein and palatant that also supplies concentrated omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) and, when whole or rendered to meal, micronutrients such as calcium and selenium that support skin and coat, joint, heart and brain health in both dogs and cats. Considerations include variable sodium levels in canned or preserved forms, the (rare) possibility of fish allergy, and the importance of responsible sourcing and handling to minimize contaminants or histamine formation.
04
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source to increase energy density, palatability and supply linoleic acid (an essential omega‑6) that helps maintain healthy skin and coat. It is beneficial for dogs and cats but is high in omega‑6 and low in omega‑3—so formulas should balance fatty acids to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; it is calorie‑dense (important for weight control and pancreatitis-prone animals) and may require antioxidants or high‑oleic formulations for better shelf stability.
05
Tricalcium Phosphate
Tricalcium phosphate is an inorganic mineral commonly used in dog and cat foods as a source of calcium and phosphorus and as an anti-caking/bulking agent to help fortify diets and adjust the dietary Ca:P balance. It supplies minerals important for bone and tooth health and neuromuscular function, but must be formulated carefully to maintain an appropriate calcium‑to‑phosphorus ratio and may be a consideration in pets with kidney disease where phosphorus intake is restricted.
