Urinary Tract Health Beef & Liver Recipe Wet Cat Food
Verified Jun 3, 2026
A canned pate formula for adult cats, this urinary tract health recipe uses meat and poultry by-products along with beef, liver, and chicken as its main protein sources. It’s formulated to help maintain a lower urinary pH while providing moderate protein and fat, plenty of moisture, and added taurine and essential vitamins and minerals for complete and balanced adult maintenance nutrition. This food is intended specifically for adult cats with urinary tract health needs and is not designed for kittens, or pregnant or nursing cats.
This is a well-balanced urinary tract health wet food for adult cats that combines multiple animal protein sources with controlled minerals and added moisture to support the lower urinary pH the formula is designed for. The protein and fat levels are appropriate for most adult cats, and it meets AAFCO standards for adult maintenance by formulation. It’s a solid option when a non-prescription urinary tract health diet is desired, as long as it’s used only in adult cats and under veterinary guidance for cats with a history of urinary issues.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Multiple animal-based ingredients (meat by-products, poultry by-products, beef, liver, chicken) provide a good range of essential amino acids and naturally occurring micronutrients.
- Formulated specifically to help maintain a lower urinary pH, with controlled magnesium and added moisture, which can be helpful for some cats prone to urinary issues.
- Meets AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for adult maintenance, so it can be fed as a sole diet to adult cats.
- Wet pate texture with 78% moisture supports hydration, which is particularly useful for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.
Considerations
- Contains common protein allergens (beef and chicken), so it isn’t a good fit for cats with known sensitivities to those ingredients.
- Formulated only for adult maintenance and specifically labeled not to be fed to kittens or pregnant/nursing cats, so households with mixed-age cats may need different foods.
- Urinary tract health formulas can alter urine pH and mineral balance, so cats with complex medical histories (especially kidney disease or severe urinary disease) should use this type of diet under veterinary supervision.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Water
Water is an essential nutrient and the primary solvent and moisture component in pet foods, especially wet and canned diets, and is also used in processing and to adjust texture and palatability. It is vital for digestion, nutrient transport, temperature regulation and waste removal in dogs and cats; pets must have constant access to clean water as dehydration can quickly lead to serious health issues and requirements increase with activity, heat, or illness, while moisture in wet food can help meet part of their daily needs.
02
Meat By-Product
Meat by-products are rendered animal parts such as organ meats, blood, bone and other tissues used in pet food as a concentrated source of animal protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. They can provide biologically valuable nutrients—especially for cats, which require animal-derived proteins—but composition and quality vary by source so owners seeking specific ingredients or with pet food sensitivities should look for transparency and regulation-compliant sourcing.
03
Poultry By-Product
Poultry by-product is used primarily as a concentrated protein, fat and micronutrient source in pet foods and consists of rendered poultry parts such as internal organs, bones and connective tissues that supply amino acids, minerals (notably calcium and phosphorus) and B‑vitamins. It can be a cost‑effective source of bioavailable nutrients, but composition and quality vary by source and processing—owners of pets with poultry allergies or who prefer named-meat ingredients may choose alternatives, and safety depends on reputable rendering and adherence to regulatory standards.
04
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.
05
Liver
Liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat used in pet foods as a high-quality protein source, natural flavor enhancer, and a concentrated supply of vitamins and minerals—particularly vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12 and folate), iron and copper. It offers important micronutrients for both dogs and cats but should be fed in controlled amounts because excessive liver can cause vitamin A (and sometimes copper) toxicity, and raw liver carries food-safety risks unless properly processed.
