Kettle Creations Chicken Recipe in Gravy Wet Cat Food
Verified Jun 7, 2026
A chunky, gravy-style wet cat food made with chicken as the main animal ingredient, supported by pumpkin and brown rice for fiber and energy. It’s formulated as a complete diet for cats at all life stages, including kittens and adults, and is relatively low in fat and calories per can. This style of formula can work well for cats who enjoy moist, stew-like textures and may benefit from extra dietary moisture and fiber for digestive comfort.
This is a well-formulated all-life-stages canned food with chicken as the primary protein source, moderate protein for a wet diet, and a relatively low fat level, which can suit many indoor or less active cats. The inclusion of pumpkin and brown rice provides gentle fiber and complex carbohydrates that can support regular digestion. It may not be ideal for cats needing very high protein or fat (for example, some underweight or very active cats), and it won’t be appropriate for cats with chicken allergies.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Chicken listed high in the ingredients provides a clear, named animal protein source suitable for most cats.
- Pumpkin and brown rice offer additional fiber and complex carbohydrates that can help support digestive regularity and steady energy.
- Calorie content is fairly modest per can, which can help with portion control and weight management in many adult indoor cats when fed appropriately.
- Formulated as a complete diet for all life stages, so it can be used for kittens through seniors if portions are adjusted correctly.
Considerations
- Chicken is the main protein, so this food is not suitable for cats with chicken allergies or sensitivities.
- Protein level is moderate for a wet food; very active cats or those needing higher protein diets may do better on a higher-protein formula.
- Fat content is on the lower side, which may not be ideal for cats who need extra calories or have trouble keeping weight on.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavorful liquid base or gravy to improve palatability and add moisture, providing modest amounts of soluble protein, electrolytes and minerals. It can help encourage eating and increase hydration, but owners should choose low‑sodium, onion‑ and garlic‑free formulations (or make homemade broth), since commercial broths may contain excessive salt, seasonings or additives that are unsafe or unsuitable for dogs and cats.
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
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is used in pet foods primarily as a fiber-rich carbohydrate and moisture source that can help regulate digestion and firm up loose stools or add bulk for softer stools, and it provides beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) plus small amounts of vitamins and minerals for dogs and cats. It is safe and beneficial when plain cooked or canned (not spiced or sweetened pie filling), should be fed in moderation as a supplement rather than a primary food, and introduced gradually since large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset or interfere with absorption of some medications.
04
Brown Rice
Brown rice is a whole-grain carbohydrate and fiber ingredient commonly used in dog and cat foods to provide digestible energy, dietary fiber, and modest amounts of B‑vitamins and minerals; it typically offers more nutrients and fiber than white rice. It’s generally well tolerated and can help with sensitive stomachs, but because it is high in carbohydrates (not a primary protein source) and can contain trace inorganic arsenic depending on sourcing, it should be included in balanced formulations and monitored in overweight or diabetic pets.
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.
