Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a solid all-life-stages wet food that leans on salmon as the main protein, backed up by chicken liver, chicken, and egg ingredients for a robust amino acid profile. The high moisture content is helpful for urinary and overall hydration, and the diet is AAFCO-complete for both kittens and adults by formulation. It’s a good fit for most healthy cats, though the relatively low fat level and inclusion of chicken and egg mean it won’t suit every cat’s needs or allergies.

Strengths
- Salmon is the first ingredient, with additional animal proteins (chicken liver, chicken, egg) providing high-quality, highly digestible amino acids.
- High moisture canned pâté (82% max moisture) helps support hydration, which is especially useful for cats that don’t drink much water.
- AAFCO-complete and balanced for both growth and adult maintenance by formulation, so it can be fed to kittens and adults as a sole diet.
- Includes taurine and salmon oil (a source of omega-3 fatty acids), which support essential feline nutrient requirements and overall skin, coat, and neurologic health.
Considerations
- Contains chicken and egg ingredients, so it is not appropriate for cats with known allergies or sensitivities to poultry or egg proteins.
- The minimum fat level (2.5% as-fed) is on the leaner side for a canned cat food, which may be less ideal for very active or hard-to-keep-weight-on cats that need higher calorie density.
- Grain-free formula uses peas as a plant ingredient; while generally safe for cats, some very sensitive individuals may not do well with legumes.

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
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.
03
Vegetable Broth
Vegetable broth is typically used in pet foods and toppers as a low-calorie flavor enhancer and source of moisture to improve palatability and encourage drinking, but it contributes negligible protein or fat. It can provide small amounts of vitamins and minerals depending on the vegetables used, yet pet owners should check labels for added salt, onion or garlic (toxic to dogs and cats), and other seasonings or preservatives that may be unsuitable for pets or sodium-restricted diets.
04
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
05
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.
