KibbleLab Score
8.4 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a high-quality wet food suitable for both kittens and adult cats who do well on poultry-based, grain-free diets. It features named animal proteins at the top of the ingredient list, appropriate nutrient levels for an all-life-stages canned food, and added taurine and omega fatty acids. It’s a good everyday option for cats that enjoy minced textures and could benefit from extra moisture in their diet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Named animal proteins (turkey, turkey liver, duck) appear high in the ingredient list, providing good-quality, highly digestible protein for cats and kittens.
  • Complete and balanced for both growth and adult maintenance, so it can be used long term from kitten through adulthood if your cat does well on it.
  • Contains added taurine and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which support heart, eye, skin, and coat health in a general way.
  • Grain-free without relying heavily on pulses; peas appear lower in the list, which avoids the legume-heavy profiles that have raised concerns in some pet foods.

Considerations

  • Contains multiple poultry proteins (turkey, duck) and egg, so it would not be appropriate for cats with known allergies or sensitivities to poultry or egg.
  • Fat level is on the lower side for a canned food, which may not be ideal for very active or hard-to-keep-weight cats that need a more calorie-dense diet.
  • Uses guar gum as a thickener; while safe for most cats, a small number with very sensitive digestion may not do well with certain gums.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.
View ingredient
02
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.
03
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.
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
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.
