Cat · Wet Kitten Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a grain-free wet cat food featuring ocean fish and chicken as the main animal protein sources, served in a chunks-in-sauce texture. It’s formulated to be complete and balanced for kittens, adult cats, and breeding cats, with added taurine and a full vitamin–mineral mix. The recipe also includes a source of prebiotic fiber to help support healthy digestion.

KibbleLab Score
7.6 out of 10

This is a solid grain-free wet option for kittens and adult cats that provides moderate protein from ocean fish and chicken along with appropriate taurine and a complete vitamin and mineral profile. It’s formulated to meet AAFCO requirements for growth, maintenance, and reproduction, so it can cover most life stages. It will suit many healthy cats, especially those who like a chunky texture in sauce, though the use of multiple gums and powdered cellulose as fiber are worth noting for very sensitive stomachs.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Ocean fish and chicken are the primary ingredients, providing named animal protein sources cats generally do well with.
  • Complete and balanced per AAFCO for kittens, adults, and reproduction, so it can be used across life stages under veterinary guidance.
  • Added taurine and a full complement of vitamins and chelated minerals support essential feline nutritional needs.
  • Includes fructooligosaccharide, a prebiotic fiber that can help support beneficial gut bacteria.

Considerations

  • Protein level is moderate for a wet cat food; very active or underweight cats may benefit from higher-protein options if advised by your vet.
  • Contains several gums (guar gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan, cassia gum) and powdered cellulose as fiber and texture agents, which can occasionally bother cats with very sensitive digestion.
  • Fish is a common allergen for some cats, so this may not be suitable if your cat has known fish sensitivities.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Ocean Fish
Ocean fish is commonly used in pet food as a high-quality animal protein and flavor ingredient and is valued for providing omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) plus minerals like iodine and selenium that support skin and coat, joint, heart, and cognitive health in dogs and cats. While it offers important nutritional benefits, fish can be an allergen for some pets and may carry environmental contaminants (mercury, PCBs) depending on source, so responsible sourcing, proper processing, and variety in protein choices are recommended.
02
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.
03
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.
04
Vegetable Oil
Vegetable oil in pet food is used primarily as a concentrated fat source to boost calorie density, improve palatability and texture, and supply essential fatty acids (typically omega‑6 such as linoleic acid) while helping absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins. It can support skin and coat health for dogs and cats, but nutrient profiles vary by oil type and most vegetable oils lack long‑chain omega‑3s and the arachidonic acid cats require; excessive fat can promote weight gain or precipitate pancreatitis in susceptible pets, so source, quality and inclusion level should be considered.
05
Cellulose
Cellulose is a purified, plant-derived insoluble fiber commonly used in pet foods as a bulking agent, binder and to adjust kibble texture or calorie density. It is not digestible for dogs or cats but can help increase stool bulk, support satiety and assist hairball control in some formulations; however, it provides no usable nutrients and excessive inclusion may dilute dietary nutrients or cause gastrointestinal upset, particularly in obligate carnivores like cats.
