KibbleLab Score
8.3 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a solid all‑life‑stages wet diet that can work well in many multi‑cat households, including homes with both kittens and adults. It provides moderate protein and fat for a canned food, coming from salmon, other fish, liver, meat by‑products, and chicken, and it meets AAFCO profiles for all life stages. The added taurine, DHA, and omega fatty acids are useful for growing kittens and can also support adult cats’ everyday needs.

The KibbleLab Score (1–10) is assessed from publicly available product data. Our evaluation is science-based, not marketing-based.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Real salmon as the first ingredient, with multiple animal protein sources to provide a full amino acid profile.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, so it is suitable for both kittens and adults when fed as directed.
  • Includes taurine, DHA, omega‑3 and omega‑6 fatty acids, and key vitamins A and E to support daily health needs like vision, skin, coat, and development in growing kittens.
  • Wet pate texture can help increase overall water intake, which is often beneficial for many cats.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken and mixed fish proteins, so it is not a good choice for cats with known allergies or sensitivities to these ingredients.
  • As an all‑life‑stages formula, the calorie density and nutrient levels are appropriate for kittens, so adult cats with lower activity may need careful portion control to avoid weight gain.
  • Uses a generic “fish” ingredient rather than always specifying species, which may matter for some owners managing very specific protein restrictions.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.
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
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.
04
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.
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.
