Feline Selected Protein PR Loaf in Sauce Wet Cat Food

Verified Aug 22, 2026

Cat · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a veterinary therapeutic wet food designed for cats that need a novel-protein, limited-ingredient-style diet, using rabbit and pea as the main protein sources. The loaf-in-sauce texture provides moderate protein and fat with high moisture, which can be helpful for cats that benefit from extra water in their diet. It’s also formulated with added omega-3 fats and antioxidants to support skin, coat, and overall cell health.

Vet-directed diet

This is a therapeutic diet, formulated for a specific medical condition under veterinary direction. KibbleLab does not assign it a general wellness score, because a therapeutic diet's nutrient targets are set clinically, not by maintenance standards. Your veterinarian selects the right therapeutic diet for your pet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Uses rabbit as the primary animal protein, which is a less common protein source and useful for many cats with allergies to more typical proteins like chicken or beef.
  • Formulated to be complete and balanced for both growth and adult maintenance according to AAFCO, so it can safely be used as the sole diet for kittens and adults.
  • High moisture canned food, which can help support overall hydration in cats that don’t drink much water on their own.
  • Includes fish oil and an added antioxidant complex, which can support skin, coat, and general cellular health in cats with chronic skin or allergy problems.

Considerations

  • Contains pea flour and pea protein; while useful for this particular protein blend, some cats with very broad food sensitivities may still react to plant proteins and peas are not truly a single-ingredient novel option.
  • Fish oil is present, so this may not be suitable for cats with documented fish allergies.
  • Fiber comes partly from powdered cellulose, which is safe but can be bulky; in some sensitive cats this type of fiber may slightly affect stool volume or consistency.
  • As a prescription veterinary diet, it should be used under the direction of a veterinarian, especially for cats with complex allergy or gastrointestinal histories.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Rabbit
Rabbit is used in pet foods as a novel or alternative animal protein source for dogs and cats, prized for lean, highly digestible muscle protein and often selected for pets with food sensitivities. It supplies essential amino acids and low fat, but owners should choose complete, balanced formulations (cats especially need adequate taurine), be mindful of mineral imbalances if bone-in/whole‑prey ingredients are included, and avoid improperly handled raw rabbit due to food‑safety risks.

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
Rabbit Liver
Rabbit liver is an organ‑meat ingredient used in pet foods as a highly palatable, nutrient‑dense source of animal protein and essential micronutrients, including heme iron, B vitamins (notably B12) and fat‑soluble vitamins like vitamin A. It benefits both dogs and cats by boosting flavor and nutrient density, but should be fed in moderation because excessive liver can cause vitamin A or copper imbalances and raw liver may carry foodborne pathogens, so it should not be the sole protein source without veterinary guidance.
04
Pea Flour
Pea flour is a finely milled powder from whole peas used in pet foods as a plant-based source of protein, starch and fiber to add bulk, improve texture and boost overall protein content. It provides digestible protein, fiber and some micronutrients, but plant proteins are lower in certain essential amino acids (important for cats in particular) and high inclusion of legumes can create formulation imbalances, so manufacturers typically supplement limiting amino acids and process pea flour to reduce anti-nutritional factors; pet owners should note rare allergies and rely on complete, balanced diets rather than single-ingredient comparisons.
05
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.
