8.5 out of 10

Strong Choice

This formula is a good fit for healthy adult cats who enjoy fish-based diets and benefit from extra moisture in their food. It offers multiple animal protein sources plus added taurine and a full vitamin–mineral mix, suggesting it’s designed as a complete daily diet rather than a simple topper. The moderate fat and protein levels are suitable for many average adult cats, especially if you’re watching their weight.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Tuna and salmon provide multiple sources of animal protein that most cats find very palatable.
  • High moisture content can help support hydration, which is especially helpful for cats that don’t drink much water.
  • Includes added taurine plus a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals for balanced daily feeding.
  • Pumpkin adds a small amount of fiber, which can gently support normal digestion in some cats.

Considerations

  • Fish is a common allergen for some cats, so this would not be appropriate if your cat reacts to fish proteins.
  • The protein level is moderate for a wet cat food, so very active or underweight cats may need larger portions or additional calories.
  • Menadione (a synthetic vitamin K source) is included; it is allowed in pet foods but is avoided by some owners who prefer other vitamin K sources.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Tuna
Tuna is commonly used in pet foods as a highly palatable animal protein and flavor enhancer, providing readily digestible protein and omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) along with B vitamins for both dogs and cats. While nutritionally beneficial, tuna can be high in mercury or sodium (especially canned), and feeding it exclusively or frequently may cause nutrient imbalances (including risks for thiamine or taurine issues in cats), so it should be offered in moderation as part of a complete, balanced diet.

02
Fish Broth
Fish broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavor and moisture enhancer, providing modest amounts of fish-derived protein, amino acids, minerals and sometimes trace omega‑3s but not serving as a primary source of complete nutrition. It can improve hydration and entice picky, senior, or ill dogs and cats to eat, but caregivers should watch for high sodium, added seasonings (especially onion or garlic), potential fish allergies, and variable quality depending on processing.
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
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.
View ingredient
05
Quail Egg
Quail eggs are a concentrated animal-protein ingredient used as a novel protein or nutrient-rich topper in dog and cat diets, providing highly digestible protein, essential amino acids, vitamins (A, B12, riboflavin), choline and minerals such as selenium. They can be a useful option for picky eaters or pets with sensitivities but may trigger allergies in some animals and, like all raw eggs, carry a small pathogen risk, so cook before feeding and offer in moderation while consulting your veterinarian for elimination or therapeutic diets.
