This is a grain-free minced wet cat food in a chicken bone broth gravy, using fresh deboned chicken and tuna as the main protein sources. The high moisture content helps support hydration, and the recipe is formulated to be complete and balanced for cats at all life stages, from kittens through adults.

KibbleLab Score
8.7 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a high-moisture, meat-focused wet food that provides complete and balanced nutrition for cats of all ages, with deboned chicken and tuna as the primary protein sources. The formulation avoids by-product meals and grains, and includes added taurine and omega fatty acids, which are important for heart, eye, skin, and coat health in cats. It’s a good option for cats who benefit from extra hydration or prefer a gravy-style texture, as long as they tolerate chicken and fish well.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Deboned chicken and deboned tuna appear early in the ingredient list, providing animal-based protein that cats digest and utilize well.
  • Very high moisture (82%) from chicken bone broth gravy can help support hydration, which is especially helpful for cats that don’t drink much water.
  • Complete and balanced for all life stages according to AAFCO, so it can be used for kittens, adults, and pregnant or nursing queens.
  • Includes added taurine and a full vitamin and chelated mineral mix, along with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to support overall health, skin, and coat.

Considerations

  • Contains both chicken and fish, which are common food allergens for some cats; not ideal if your cat has known sensitivities to either protein.
  • Grain-free and relies on tapioca and gums for texture and binding; while generally well tolerated, very sensitive cats can occasionally react to certain thickeners.
  • Formulated by AAFCO nutrient profiles rather than proven in feeding trials, so the nutrient balance is based on formulation rather than real-world digestibility testing.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Chicken Bone Broth
Chicken bone broth is commonly used as a palatability enhancer and hydration topper in dog and cat diets, supplying gelatin, collagen-derived amino acids and trace minerals that may support joint comfort and gut health while making food more appealing. It is not a complete food, so choose low-sodium, additive-free products (avoid broths containing onion, garlic or excessive fat), and ensure no bone fragments are present—use caution with pets that have pancreatitis, sodium-sensitive conditions, or known food sensitivities.
02
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.

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.
View ingredient
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.
View ingredient
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.
