Cat · Wet All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a high‑protein canned pâté for cats of all ages, with chicken as the main animal protein plus added fish and organ meats. It provides complete and balanced nutrition for both kittens and adult cats, with added DHA, taurine, and omega fatty acids to support growth, skin and coat, and overall health. The soft pâté texture can work well for cats who prefer moist foods or have difficulty chewing kibble.

KibbleLab Score
8.4 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a well-balanced, high‑moisture wet diet suitable for both kittens and adult cats, which is helpful if you have multiple cats at different life stages. It uses chicken, fish, and organ meats to provide good-quality animal protein, and includes taurine, DHA, and essential fatty acids in appropriate amounts. Overall it’s a strong, mainstream option for owners who want a complete wet food from a large, research-driven brand, as long as the ingredient mix suits their individual cat.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken as the first ingredient, supported by fish, liver, and meat by-products, gives a rich source of highly digestible animal protein and essential amino acids.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, so it can safely support both growing kittens and adult cats when fed as directed.
  • Good moisture content (typical of canned foods) can help support hydration, especially for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.
  • Includes taurine, DHA, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin E, which support vision, brain development in kittens, and skin and coat health.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken, fish, and meat by-products, so it is not suitable for cats with known allergies or intolerances to these proteins.
  • Energy density is moderate (about 100 kcal per 3 oz can), so larger or very active cats may need multiple cans per day to maintain weight.
  • Uses vegetable oil and added gums (guar gum) as part of the formulation; while commonly used and generally well tolerated, a small number of cats with very sensitive digestion may do better on simpler-ingredient recipes.

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
Fish
Fish is commonly used in pet foods as a highly digestible animal protein and an excellent source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that support skin and coat health, joint function, and cognitive development in both dogs and cats. It also supplies B vitamins and minerals but can be a common allergen, may contain environmental contaminants or mercury depending on species and sourcing, and raw fish can contain thiaminase—so choose properly processed, nutritionally balanced, and sustainably sourced fish ingredients.
03
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.
04
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.
05
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.
