This is a high‑moisture frozen wet food for adult cats, built around fish and chicken as the main animal protein sources.

8.7 out of 10

Strong Choice

This frozen wet food is designed for adult cats and focuses on providing animal-based protein with a very high moisture content. The combination of cod, chicken muscle meat, organs, and sardines offers a good range of amino acids and natural omega-3s. It’s a solid option for healthy adult cats who do well on a high-moisture diet and tolerate chicken and fish proteins.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Animal proteins like cod, chicken thighs, hearts, liver, and sardines make up the bulk of the recipe.
  • Very high moisture content can help support overall hydration, especially in cats that drink little water.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult cat maintenance, so it is complete and balanced.
  • Includes whole sardines and listed DHA and EPA levels, which provide beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken and multiple fish sources, so it isn’t a good fit for cats with chicken or fish allergies.
  • This recipe is for adult maintenance only, so it is not appropriate for kittens or pregnant or nursing cats.
  • Being a frozen product, it needs freezer space and proper thawing, which may not suit every household’s routine.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.

02
Chicken Thigh
Chicken thigh is a common source of high-quality, highly digestible animal protein and flavor in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids and nutrients such as B vitamins, iron, and zinc. Because thigh meat is higher in fat than breast meat, it increases calorie density—useful for active or underweight pets but a consideration for weight management—and may trigger food sensitivities; raw feeding carries pathogen risks and cooked bones are hazardous, and complete commercial diets are recommended to ensure nutrients like taurine for cats.
03
Chicken Heart
Chicken heart is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable animal protein source, providing taurine, B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and coenzyme Q10. It supports lean muscle and, for cats, provides essential taurine, but should be included as part of a balanced formulation and properly sourced/processed to reduce bacterial risk, since excessive organ intake can unbalance nutrients or be a concern for pets with specific metabolic or urate-stone issues.
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
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.
