8.1 out of 10

Strong Choice

Overall, this is a high-quality, fish-based wet diet suitable for kittens and adult cats, including those who may benefit from extra moisture in their diet. The use of named seafood proteins, simple carb sources like pumpkin, and chelated minerals is very positive from a nutrition standpoint. Its relatively low fat level makes it a lighter option, which may suit some cats but could be on the lean side for very active or hard‑keeping individuals if it’s the only food fed.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Named animal proteins (yellowfin tuna and crab) are the primary ingredients, providing good-quality, highly digestible protein.
  • Very high moisture content can help support hydration, which is particularly helpful for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, so it can be used for both kittens and adult cats as a complete diet.
  • Includes pumpkin and inulin, which may help support gentle digestion, and chelated minerals that can improve mineral absorption.

Considerations

  • Fish (tuna, crab) are common allergens for some cats, so this won’t be appropriate for those with known fish sensitivities.
  • The minimum fat level is relatively low for a cat food, so very active cats or those that struggle to maintain weight might need larger portions or an additional, more calorie-dense food.
  • Regularly feeding tuna-based diets as the primary long-term protein source isn’t ideal for every cat; many veterinarians prefer rotating with non-fish proteins over time.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Yellowfin Tuna
Yellowfin tuna is commonly used in pet foods as a highly palatable, lean animal protein and flavor enhancer that also provides beneficial omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). While valuable for dogs and cats, it should be included within a balanced formulation rather than as the sole food, and pet parents should be aware of concerns such as mercury accumulation in larger tuna, higher sodium in some canned products, and the need for proper processing to reduce parasite and spoilage risks.
02
Tuna Broth
Tuna broth is used in pet foods and toppers mainly as a flavor enhancer and moisture source to improve palatability and encourage hydration; it may contribute small amounts of fish-derived protein and omega‑3s but is not a significant standalone protein source. While it can make meals more appealing, pet parents should watch for added salt or preservatives, potential fish allergies, and contaminants such as mercury or histamine, and remember tuna broth does not provide a complete, balanced nutrient profile (including taurine for cats).
03
Crab
Crab is used in pet foods mainly as a palatable seafood protein and flavoring, providing high‑quality animal protein along with trace minerals (zinc, copper, selenium) and modest amounts of marine omega‑3s that can benefit skin and coat condition in dogs and cats. While it can enhance taste and offer lean nutrition, shellfish is a common allergen, whole shells can pose choking or digestive risks, and processed crab may contain added salt or environmental contaminants, so only properly prepared crab products formulated for pets are recommended.

04
Crab Broth
Crab broth is typically used in pet food as a flavorful liquid to increase palatability and moisture, with small contributions of protein and trace minerals depending on how concentrated it is. It can help entice picky dogs and cats and boost hydration, but owners should watch for high sodium levels, added seasonings (such as onion or garlic, which are toxic), and potential shellfish allergies, and remember it is not a complete or balanced diet on its own.
05
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.
