Cat & Kitten Chicken & Beef With Organ Meats Recipe Wet Food

Verified Aug 24, 2026

Cat · Wet Kitten Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a high‑moisture shredded wet food for kittens and adult cats, using chicken, beef, and organ meats as its primary protein sources. The grain-free formula is completed with added vitamins, minerals, taurine, and omega-rich oils, making it suitable as a complete and balanced meal for all life stages. Its broth-based texture can also help support good hydration, especially for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.

KibbleLab Score
8.4 out of 10

Strong Choice

Nutritionally, this is a very solid all-life-stages wet food that leans on high-quality animal proteins and organ meats, which are excellent sources of essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals for cats. The calorie density is appropriate for a shredded, broth-heavy food, and the added taurine and omega-rich oils support overall feline health. It should work well for most healthy kittens and adult cats, including those who benefit from higher moisture and a grain-free recipe that avoids common starches.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken, beef, and multiple organ meats (liver, heart) provide species-appropriate, nutrient-dense animal protein and natural sources of key vitamins and minerals.
  • Complete and balanced to AAFCO standards for all life stages, so it can be used for both kittens and adults as a sole diet if desired.
  • High moisture (up to 84%) in a broth base can help support hydration, which is particularly useful for cats that are light water drinkers.
  • Includes salmon oil and flaxseed, which supply omega fatty acids that can support skin, coat, and overall inflammation control.

Considerations

  • The minimum fat level is on the lower side for some very active or growing cats, so portions may need to be adjusted to maintain ideal body condition.
  • Contains chicken and beef, which are common protein allergens for some cats; it wouldn’t be a good fit for cats with known sensitivities to these proteins.
  • Uses guar gum as a thickener; while generally well tolerated, a small number of cats may have softer stools with certain gums.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.
View ingredient
02
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.
03
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.
View ingredient
04
Beef Broth
Beef broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a savory flavoring and moisture enhancer to boost palatability and encourage hydration, and depending on preparation can contribute small amounts of protein, minerals and gelatin-derived collagen. Care should be taken because commercial broths are often high in sodium and may contain added ingredients (onion, garlic, spices, preservatives or sweeteners) that can be harmful to dogs or cats, so choose low-sodium, pet-safe formulations and avoid if your pet has a beef allergy or sodium-sensitive condition.
05
Beef Liver
Beef liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable, protein-rich, nutrient-dense ingredient that provides concentrated, bioavailable vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), heme iron, copper, and essential amino acids. While it supports blood health and overall nutrition, beef liver should be fed in moderation because excess vitamin A can cause toxicity, its richness may upset sensitive stomachs or contribute to pancreatitis in predisposed pets, and proper sourcing/processing is important to minimize contaminant or bacterial risks.
