Carnivore Salmon & Cod Pate Grain-Free Wet Cat Food
Verified Jun 15, 2026
A grain-free, fish-based wet pate for cats of all life stages, using deboned salmon and cod as the main protein sources. The recipe is relatively high in moisture, with added pumpkin, cranberries, and prebiotics to support digestion. It’s designed to be fed as a complete meal, topper, or treat for kittens through seniors who enjoy fish flavors.
This is a high-quality, fish-forward wet food that provides complete and balanced nutrition for kittens, adults, and seniors. Deboned salmon and cod supply animal protein and omega-3 fats, and the calorie density is appropriate for most cats when portions are controlled. It’s a good option for cats that prefer moist, fish-based diets, as long as they don’t have sensitivities to fish or egg.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Deboned salmon and cod as primary ingredients offer quality animal protein and naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids.
- Complete and balanced for all life stages, so it can be used for kittens, adults, and seniors with appropriate portion adjustments.
- Wet pate texture with 78% moisture helps support overall hydration, which is especially helpful for many cats.
- Includes pumpkin, cranberries, and prebiotic-type ingredients that may help support digestive health.
Considerations
- Fish (salmon, cod) and egg are common allergens for some cats, so this would not be suitable if your cat has known reactions to these proteins.
- Fish-based diets can be quite palatable, which is great for picky eaters, but some cats may gain weight if portions are not carefully measured due to the relatively high calorie content per cup.
- Contains multiple carbohydrate sources (tapioca and flaxseed); while not inherently bad, this may not be ideal for owners specifically seeking a very low-carb formulation.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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.
02
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.
03
Salmon Broth
Salmon broth is a savory liquid used in pet foods and as a meal topper to boost palatability and encourage hydration, supplying small amounts of protein, amino acids and omega‑3 fatty acids that can support skin and coat health in dogs and cats. It can help entice picky eaters and increase water intake, but owners should choose low‑sodium, commercially prepared broths free of onion/garlic or other toxic additives and be mindful of fish allergies or potential contaminants in fish‑derived ingredients.
04
Tapioca
Tapioca is a processed starch from the cassava root commonly used in pet foods and treats as a gluten-free carbohydrate, binder and thickening agent, providing easily digestible calories but very little protein, fat, vitamins or minerals. While useful in hypoallergenic or grain-free formulations, it has limited nutritional value and a high glycemic index, so it should be used in moderation—especially for overweight or diabetic dogs and cats—and only in properly processed form to avoid cassava-related toxins.
05
Cod Liver
Cod liver is used in pet foods as a nutrient-dense animal ingredient and flavor enhancer, providing high-quality protein along with concentrated omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and fat‑soluble vitamins A and D. It can support skin and coat health, joint and cognitive function, and immune response in dogs and cats, but because it is very rich in vitamins A and D and can concentrate environmental contaminants, it should be included in controlled amounts within a balanced formulation and properly processed to avoid hypervitaminosis or safety risks.
