KibbleLab Score
8.4 out of 10

Nulo Medalseries Minced Salmon & Turkey in Gravy is a high-moisture, complete and balanced canned food suitable for kittens through adult cats. It offers multiple named animal protein sources plus added taurine and beneficial fatty acids, which is appropriate for feline nutrition. The inclusion of peas and several different proteins may not be ideal for very food-sensitive cats, but for most healthy cats this is a solid, nutritious wet option.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Multiple named animal proteins (salmon, turkey, turkey liver, egg) provide high-quality, species-appropriate protein sources.
  • 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.
  • Contains added taurine plus omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from fish, flaxseed, and chicken fat, supporting essential feline nutrient needs.

Considerations

  • Contains several different animal proteins (salmon, turkey, chicken fat, egg), which can make it harder to use in an elimination diet for cats with suspected food allergies.
  • Includes dried ground peas as a carbohydrate source; while not necessarily harmful, some owners of cats with a history of digestive issues may prefer lower-legume formulas.
  • Moderate fat level for a wet food may be a bit low for some very active or underweight cats that need a more energy-dense diet.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.
02
Salmon Broth
Salmon broth is a savory liquid used in pet foods and as a meal topper to boost palatability and encourage hydration, supplying small amounts of protein, amino acids and omega‑3 fatty acids that can support skin and coat health in dogs and cats. It can help entice picky eaters and increase water intake, but owners should choose low‑sodium, commercially prepared broths free of onion/garlic or other toxic additives and be mindful of fish allergies or potential contaminants in fish‑derived ingredients.
03
Turkey Broth
Turkey broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavoring and moisture enhancer to improve palatability, and in wet formulas it contributes small amounts of protein, amino acids and electrolytes. It can help entice dogs and cats to eat or increase hydration, but caregivers should check sodium levels and avoid broths with onion, garlic, xylitol or other harmful additives, and be mindful if the pet has a poultry allergy.
04
Turkey Liver
Turkey liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods as a protein-rich, palatability-enhancing ingredient and a concentrated source of vitamins and minerals—particularly vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12), iron, and copper. It offers nutritional benefits for metabolism and skin/coat health but should be included in moderation within a balanced diet to avoid vitamin A excess and high purine intake, and must be properly handled or cooked to reduce foodborne risks.
05
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.
