MedalSeries Silky Mousse Chicken & Salmon Recipe Wet Cat Food

Verified Jun 3, 2026

Cat · Wet All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a smooth, mousse-style wet cat food designed for cats of all ages, from kittens to adults. It features chicken and salmon as the main animal protein sources, with added egg for extra high-quality protein and taurine for heart and eye support. The recipe is complete and balanced to meet AAFCO standards for all life stages, making it suitable as a primary diet rather than just a treat or topper.

KibbleLab Score
8.4 out of 10

Overall, this is a high-quality, complete wet food that can work well for most healthy cats and kittens. It offers multiple animal protein sources in a very palatable mousse texture, which can be especially helpful for picky eaters or cats who prefer softer foods. As with any chicken- and fish-based diet, it’s best avoided in cats with known allergies to those proteins.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken, salmon, and dried egg provide multiple high-quality animal protein sources, which are very appropriate for carnivorous cats.
  • Meets AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages by formulation, so it can be fed to kittens, adults, and pregnant/nursing cats as a sole diet.
  • Wet, high-moisture format (up to 82% moisture) helps support overall hydration, which is particularly beneficial for cats who don’t drink much water.
  • Includes added taurine and a full complement of vitamins and chelated minerals to support balanced, highly available nutrition.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken, salmon (fish), and egg, which are common food allergens for some cats; not ideal if your cat has known sensitivities to these proteins.
  • Very soft mousse texture is great for many cats, but some may prefer or need more texture for chewing enrichment, so you may want to pair it with other textures if that’s a concern.
  • Energy density is moderate (about 77 kcal per pouch), so larger or very active cats may require several pouches per day to meet their calorie needs.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.
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
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.
04
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is used as a concentrated fat source and palatability enhancer in dog and cat diets, providing medium-chain triglycerides (notably lauric acid) that can be rapidly metabolized for energy and may help support skin and coat condition. Because it is high in saturated fat and calories, coconut oil should be used sparingly and introduced gradually to avoid gastrointestinal upset, and pets with obesity or a history of pancreatitis should only use it under veterinary guidance.
05
Egg
Eggs are used in pet foods as a highly digestible, complete animal protein and nutrient source—providing essential amino acids, bioavailable vitamins (A, D, E, B-complex including B12), minerals like selenium and iron, choline and healthy fats—while also improving palatability and texture. They support muscle maintenance, skin/coat and cognitive health in dogs and cats, but raw eggs can carry bacterial risk and contain avidin in whites that may reduce biotin with long-term feeding; some pets may also have egg allergies or require portion control for calorie management.
