KibbleLab Score
8.3 out of 10

A well-formulated, high-moisture wet food that uses chicken and wild-caught salmon as key proteins, suitable for adult and senior cats. It’s complete and balanced for maintenance and can work either as a primary diet or as a topper to boost moisture and palatability. This suits healthy adult cats who do well on poultry and fish and whose owners prefer a more stew-like, gently cooked texture.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken and salmon provide good-quality animal protein for most adult and senior cats.
  • Very high moisture content can help support adequate hydration, especially for cats that don’t drink much water.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance, so it can be used as a complete diet.
  • Includes added taurine, essential vitamins, and chelated minerals to support overall nutritional adequacy.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken and salmon, which can be problem ingredients for cats with poultry or fish allergies.
  • Uses chickpeas and lentils, which some sensitive cats may not tolerate as well as more traditional carb sources.
  • Formulated only for adult maintenance, so it is not appropriate as the sole diet for kittens or pregnant/nursing cats.

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 Bone Broth
Chicken bone broth is commonly used as a palatability enhancer and hydration topper in dog and cat diets, supplying gelatin, collagen-derived amino acids and trace minerals that may support joint comfort and gut health while making food more appealing. It is not a complete food, so choose low-sodium, additive-free products (avoid broths containing onion, garlic or excessive fat), and ensure no bone fragments are present—use caution with pets that have pancreatitis, sodium-sensitive conditions, or known food sensitivities.
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.
View ingredient
04
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.
View ingredient
05
Spinach
Spinach is used in pet foods as a leafy vegetable to provide fiber, moisture, and micronutrients such as vitamins A, C and K, folate, iron and antioxidant compounds, but it is not a primary protein source. While it can add low‑calorie nutrients and antioxidants to a dog or cat’s diet, spinach is high in oxalates (and can contain nitrates) which in large amounts may reduce mineral absorption or contribute to urinary/kidney issues in susceptible animals, so it should be fed in moderation and pets with specific health concerns should consult their veterinarian.
