Cat · Wet Kitten Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a shredded, broth-based wet food for kittens and adult cats, using chicken, duck, and organ meats as key protein sources. The formula is grain-free and includes added taurine, salmon oil, and flaxseed, which contribute important fatty acids and support overall nutrition. It is formulated to be a complete and balanced diet for all life stages, including growing kittens.

KibbleLab Score
8.6 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a high-quality wet food centered around animal proteins and organ meats, which are very appropriate for cats as obligate carnivores. The relatively high moisture and shredded texture can work well for cats who benefit from extra hydration or prefer brothy foods. It’s suitable for healthy kittens and adults, though some very active or underweight cats may need larger portions or added calories due to the fairly low fat content.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Multiple named animal ingredients (chicken, duck, liver, heart) high on the list provide species-appropriate protein and organ nutrients.
  • High moisture content and broth-based formula can help support good hydration, which is particularly helpful for many cats.
  • Grain-free without relying on peas or lentils, and uses salmon oil and flaxseed to supply beneficial omega fatty acids.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, so it can be fed to both kittens and adults as a sole diet.

Considerations

  • Crude fat is on the lower side for a cat diet, so very active, growing, or hard-keeping cats may need increased amounts or a higher-calorie companion food.
  • Contains chicken and duck, which are common protein allergens for some cats, so it may not be suitable for cats with known poultry allergies.
  • Menadione (a synthetic vitamin K source) is included; while allowed and commonly used, some owners prefer formulas without it.

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.
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
Duck
Duck is used in pet food primarily as a flavorful animal protein and fat source, commonly included in limited-ingredient or novel-protein formulas for dogs and cats. It supplies high-quality amino acids and energy and can help pets with sensitivities to common proteins, but it is relatively rich in fat (so may be unsuitable for low‑fat or pancreatitis-prone animals), can still trigger allergies in some pets, and requires proper cooking/processing and handling to avoid bacterial contamination.
04
Duck Broth
Duck broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavorful liquid to boost palatability and moisture, and it can contribute modest amounts of amino acids and minerals depending on how it’s made. It can help entice picky dogs and cats and encourage hydration, but caregivers should check labels for high sodium, added onions/garlic or excessive fat, and avoid broths with bone fragments or if the animal has a poultry allergy or pancreatitis risk.
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.
