Tuna With Prawn Formula In Gravy Wet Cat Food
Verified May 26, 2026
A high-moisture canned food for cats of all ages, this recipe features tuna and prawn as the main animal protein sources in a gravy-style formula. It provides moderate protein with low fat, added taurine, DHA, and essential vitamins and minerals for complete and balanced nutrition. The juicy texture can help support hydration and may be especially appealing for picky or gravy-loving cats.
This is a nicely formulated, seafood-based wet diet that offers good-quality animal protein, plenty of moisture, and complete and balanced nutrition for kittens through adults. The moderate protein and low fat make it a reasonable option for many indoor or less active cats, and the added taurine and DHA are appropriate for growing kittens as well. It’s a strong choice if your cat does well on fish-based diets, though not ideal for cats with fish or shellfish sensitivities or those needing higher calorie density.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Tuna and prawn provide named, animal-based protein sources, which are very palatable for most cats.
- High moisture (about 82.5%) supports hydration, which is especially important for urinary tract health in cats.
- Complete and balanced for all life stages by AAFCO formulation, so it can be fed to both kittens and adults as a sole diet.
- Includes added taurine and DHA, which are important for heart, vision, and nervous system development, especially in kittens.
Considerations
- Fish and prawn are common allergens for some cats, so this would not be suitable for cats with known fish or shellfish allergies.
- The fat content is on the lower side for a canned food, which may not provide enough calories for very active, underweight, or hard‑keeping cats unless you feed larger portions.
- Relies heavily on fish as the primary protein source; some cats prone to fish-related GI upset or with specific medical needs may do better rotating with or choosing non-fish formulas.

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
Prawn
Prawn is used in dog and cat foods and treats as a high-quality, palatable animal protein that supplies lean protein, some omega‑3 fatty acids, vitamin B12 and minerals like selenium, phosphorus and iodine, as well as the antioxidant astaxanthin. While nutritious and often well accepted, prawns can be an allergen for some pets and may pose risks from shell fragments, excessive sodium or contaminants, so they should be properly cooked, de-shelled and sourced responsibly.
04
Tapioca Starch
Tapioca starch is a purified carbohydrate used in pet foods mainly as a thickener, binder and easily digestible energy source, contributing virtually no protein, fat, vitamins or minerals. It is low‑allergy and gluten‑free, but because it is a high‑glycemic, low‑nutrient filler it should be limited in diets for overweight or diabetic pets and not relied on for essential nutrition.
05
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.
