Tuna, Pumpkin & Ocean Whitefish Entrée in Broth Grain-Free Wet Cat Food

Verified Aug 22, 2026

Cat · Wet All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a grain-free, shredded wet cat food featuring tuna and ocean whitefish as the main protein sources, with pumpkin added for gentle fiber. It’s a relatively low-fat, broth-based formula that can suit cats who enjoy lighter, high-moisture meals. Added vitamins, minerals, taurine, and cranberry extract help round it out nutritionally for everyday feeding.

KibbleLab Score
8.0 out of 10

Strong Choice

This food offers animal-based proteins from tuna and ocean whitefish in a high-moisture, shredded format that many cats find very palatable. The pumpkin and cranberry extract add some fiber and antioxidants, and the formula avoids corn, wheat, soy, and carrageenan. Its relatively low fat and moderate calorie content per can can work well for many adult cats, but very active or underweight cats may need larger portions or a higher-calorie option.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Tuna and ocean whitefish provide animal-based protein that is generally very palatable to cats.
  • High moisture content can help support overall hydration, especially for cats that do not drink much water.
  • Pumpkin adds gentle fiber, which can help support normal stool quality in some cats.
  • Free from corn, wheat, soy, and carrageenan, which some owners prefer to avoid.

Considerations

  • Fish is a common allergen for some cats, so this won’t be suitable for cats with known fish sensitivities.
  • Protein and fat levels are on the lower side for a wet food, so very active or underweight cats may need higher-calorie options.
  • Multiple fish ingredients mean this may not be ideal as the only long-term diet for cats where limiting fish intake is a goal.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Tuna Broth
Tuna broth is used in pet foods and toppers mainly as a flavor enhancer and moisture source to improve palatability and encourage hydration; it may contribute small amounts of fish-derived protein and omega‑3s but is not a significant standalone protein source. While it can make meals more appealing, pet parents should watch for added salt or preservatives, potential fish allergies, and contaminants such as mercury or histamine, and remember tuna broth does not provide a complete, balanced nutrient profile (including taurine for cats).
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
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.

04
Ocean White Fish
Ocean white fish is a lean, highly digestible animal protein commonly used in dog and cat foods to provide essential amino acids, improve palatability, and contribute some omega‑3 fatty acids and B vitamins. It can be a good low‑fat option for weight- or renal‑management diets, but may be an allergen for some pets and can carry environmental contaminants (e.g., mercury) depending on species and sourcing, so quality and source transparency are important.
05
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source to increase energy density, palatability and supply linoleic acid (an essential omega‑6) that helps maintain healthy skin and coat. It is beneficial for dogs and cats but is high in omega‑6 and low in omega‑3—so formulas should balance fatty acids to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; it is calorie‑dense (important for weight control and pancreatitis-prone animals) and may require antioxidants or high‑oleic formulations for better shelf stability.
