Cat · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

A high–meat, canned food for adult cats featuring lamb and tuna as the main protein sources in a bone broth base. The recipe includes organ meat like lamb kidney for additional nutrients, added taurine for heart and eye health, and salmon oil plus omega fatty acids to support skin and coat. Its high moisture content makes it a good option for cats who benefit from extra hydration in their diet.

8.3 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a protein-focused wet food for adult cats that leans heavily on animal ingredients, which suits the needs of obligate carnivores very well. Lamb, tuna, beef, egg, and lamb kidney provide a variety of high-quality proteins and micronutrients, and the formula is complete and balanced for adult maintenance. It’s a strong choice for healthy adult cats who do well on richer, meat-heavy diets and benefit from the added moisture of canned food.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Multiple named animal proteins (lamb, tuna, beef, egg) high on the ingredient list provide high-quality, species-appropriate protein for cats.
  • Includes organ meat (lamb kidney) plus added taurine, which helps support essential nutrient needs for adult cats.
  • High moisture content with lamb, fish, and beef broths can help support hydration, which is especially useful for cats that don’t drink much water.
  • Contains salmon oil and specified omega-3 and omega-6 levels, which can support skin, coat, and overall health.

Considerations

  • Contains several common protein allergens (lamb, beef, egg, fish), so it wouldn’t be appropriate for cats with known sensitivities to any of these ingredients.
  • Formulated for adult maintenance only, so it is not designed for kittens or pregnant/nursing cats with higher nutrient requirements.
  • The relatively rich mix of animal fats and proteins may be too heavy for some cats with a history of pancreatitis or fat-sensitive digestive issues; those cats often need more specialized diets.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Lamb
Lamb is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a high-quality animal protein that supplies essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins and is often chosen for its palatability or as a “novel” protein in elimination diets. It can be higher in fat and calories than some other meats and may still cause allergic reactions in sensitive animals, so owners of overweight pets or those with food sensitivities should consult a veterinarian and use proper handling/cooking practices if feeding raw or homemade lamb.

02
Tuna
Tuna is commonly used in pet foods as a highly palatable animal protein and flavor enhancer, providing readily digestible protein and omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) along with B vitamins for both dogs and cats. While nutritionally beneficial, tuna can be high in mercury or sodium (especially canned), and feeding it exclusively or frequently may cause nutrient imbalances (including risks for thiamine or taurine issues in cats), so it should be offered in moderation as part of a complete, balanced diet.

03
Lamb Broth
Lamb broth is used in pet foods and toppers primarily as a flavorful, moisture-rich base or gravy to boost palatability and hydration, and it can contribute small amounts of animal protein, amino acids, and electrolytes. Pet parents should be aware that broths can be high in sodium or fat and may contain allergens or toxic seasonings (e.g., onion, garlic, xylitol), so choose low‑sodium, pet-safe formulations and consult a veterinarian for pets with dietary restrictions or sensitive stomachs.
04
Fish Broth
Fish broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavor and moisture enhancer, providing modest amounts of fish-derived protein, amino acids, minerals and sometimes trace omega‑3s but not serving as a primary source of complete nutrition. It can improve hydration and entice picky, senior, or ill dogs and cats to eat, but caregivers should watch for high sodium, added seasonings (especially onion or garlic), potential fish allergies, and variable quality depending on processing.
05
Beef Broth
Beef broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a savory flavoring and moisture enhancer to boost palatability and encourage hydration, and depending on preparation can contribute small amounts of protein, minerals and gelatin-derived collagen. Care should be taken because commercial broths are often high in sodium and may contain added ingredients (onion, garlic, spices, preservatives or sweeteners) that can be harmful to dogs or cats, so choose low-sodium, pet-safe formulations and avoid if your pet has a beef allergy or sodium-sensitive condition.
