KibbleLab Score
7.5 out of 10

Solid Option

A formulated, complete-and-balanced wet food for adult cats that uses a mix of chicken, tuna, crab, whitefish, and poultry by-products as its protein sources. It provides adequate protein and fat for a standard adult maintenance wet diet and includes added taurine, vitamins, and minerals. This suits healthy adult cats without specific medical or dietary needs, especially those who like a gravy-based texture, but it’s a more economy-style formula with several additives and plant proteins rather than a more meat-dense recipe.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Meets AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance by formulation, so it is complete and balanced for everyday feeding of adult cats.
  • Multiple animal protein sources (chicken, tuna, crab, whitefish, poultry by-products, egg) help provide a full range of essential amino acids, with added taurine for heart and eye health.
  • Wet, gravy-based texture can help increase total water intake, which is generally beneficial for many cats.
  • Relatively low ash level (3% max as-fed) is reasonable for a fish-containing diet.

Considerations

  • Protein level is on the modest side for a wet cat food, so very active cats or those needing higher protein might do better on a more protein-dense option.
  • Contains several common allergens for cats, including chicken, fish (tuna, whitefish, crab), and egg, so it would not be appropriate for cats with known sensitivities to these ingredients.
  • Includes added sugars, multiple starches, and several color additives (titanium dioxide, carmine, paprika oleoresin), which do not add nutritional value and may be unnecessary for some owners’ preferences.
  • Uses wheat gluten and soy protein isolate as additional protein sources, which may not be ideal for cats that do better on more animal-protein–focused diets or that have wheat or soy sensitivities.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Fish Broth
Fish broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavor and moisture enhancer, providing modest amounts of fish-derived protein, amino acids, minerals and sometimes trace omega‑3s but not serving as a primary source of complete nutrition. It can improve hydration and entice picky, senior, or ill dogs and cats to eat, but caregivers should watch for high sodium, added seasonings (especially onion or garlic), potential fish allergies, and variable quality depending on processing.
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
Wheat Gluten
Wheat gluten is a concentrated plant protein commonly used in dry pet foods as a protein booster, binder and texture improver to help form kibble and extend meat-based ingredients. It provides digestible protein for dogs and cats but is low in certain essential amino acids (notably lysine) and lacks animal-specific nutrients like taurine, so it should not be the sole protein source; pets with wheat or gluten sensitivities may also experience allergic or gastrointestinal reactions.
05
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.
