KibbleLab Score
8.8 out of 10

Strong Choice

A well-formulated, grain-free wet food that uses chicken as the main ingredient and adds tuna and egg to supply a good mix of animal proteins. The calorie density and moisture level make it appropriate as a primary diet for most healthy cats, including kittens and adults, as long as portions are adjusted to body condition. It’s a good option for owners who prefer grain-free cat foods and want the added fats from coconut oil for skin and coat support without relying on legumes.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken listed as the first ingredient with additional animal proteins (tuna, dried egg) supporting a solid amino acid profile.
  • Grain-free formula without relying on peas or lentils as major ingredients, which avoids current concerns around legume-heavy diets.
  • High moisture content typical of canned foods, which can help support hydration in cats who don’t drink much water.
  • AAFCO complete and balanced for all life stages, so it can be used for kittens, adults, and seniors when fed according to directions.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken, tuna, and egg, which are common protein allergens in cats; not ideal for cats with known sensitivities to these ingredients.
  • Fat level is on the moderate side for a wet food, so very high-energy or underweight cats may need larger portions or a higher-fat companion diet.
  • Uses several gums (guar, xanthan, carob bean) as thickeners; these are generally safe but can occasionally cause soft stools in very sensitive cats.

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
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
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.
View ingredient
04
Tapioca Starch
Tapioca starch is a purified carbohydrate used in pet foods mainly as a thickener, binder and easily digestible energy source, contributing virtually no protein, fat, vitamins or minerals. It is low‑allergy and gluten‑free, but because it is a high‑glycemic, low‑nutrient filler it should be limited in diets for overweight or diabetic pets and not relied on for essential nutrition.
05
Egg Product
Egg product is used in pet foods as a high-quality, highly digestible animal protein and palatability enhancer, providing complete essential amino acids, fats, vitamins (such as A, D and B12), minerals and choline, and it often serves as a binder or emulsifier when included as whole, dried or concentrated egg. It supplies bioavailable nutrients for dogs and cats but can be a food allergen for some individuals, may be higher in fat depending on yolk content, and should be properly processed (pasteurized or cooked) to reduce microbial risk.
