A grain-free canned food featuring shrimp and tuna in a shredded texture, suitable for both adult cats and growing kittens.

This formula can be used as a main meal, a topper over dry food, or as an occasional treat for extra moisture and flavor.

KibbleLab Score
7.8 out of 10

This is a nicely formulated fish-based wet food with shrimp and tuna as the key animal ingredients, appropriate for most healthy adult cats and kittens who do well on seafood proteins. The moderate protein and low fat profile can work well for many indoor cats, especially those who benefit from a lower-calorie wet option, as long as total daily calories are managed. It’s a flexible product that can be fed alone or mixed with dry food to increase moisture intake.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Shrimp and tuna are early in the ingredient list, providing identifiable animal protein sources that many cats find very palatable.
  • Grain-free and relatively simple carbohydrate source (tapioca), which may suit cats that don’t tolerate more complex carb blends.
  • Includes taurine and a full vitamin/mineral premix, indicating it is formulated as a complete and balanced diet for both adults and kittens.
  • Low fat and moderate protein for a wet food can be helpful for cats that need tighter calorie control when portioned appropriately.

Considerations

  • Fish- and shrimp-based diets can be problematic for cats with known fish or shellfish allergies or sensitivities, so they’re not ideal for those individuals.
  • A fish-heavy formula may not be the best single long-term protein source for every cat; many cats do best rotating with non-fish proteins over time.
  • The relatively low fat content means very active or underweight cats may need larger portions or additional higher-calorie foods to maintain weight.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.
02
Shrimp
Shrimp is used in pet foods and treats as a lean, palatable animal protein and flavor enhancer that supplies high-quality amino acids and nutrients such as vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, small amounts of omega-3s and taurine (important for cats). While nutritious and often well-accepted by dogs and cats, owners should watch for shellfish allergies, high cholesterol and added sodium in processed products, and avoid shells or raw/undercooked shrimp to prevent choking and microbial or contaminant risks—choose cooked, deboned, responsibly sourced shrimp when possible.
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.
04
Tapioca
Tapioca is a processed starch from the cassava root commonly used in pet foods and treats as a gluten-free carbohydrate, binder and thickening agent, providing easily digestible calories but very little protein, fat, vitamins or minerals. While useful in hypoallergenic or grain-free formulations, it has limited nutritional value and a high glycemic index, so it should be used in moderation—especially for overweight or diabetic dogs and cats—and only in properly processed form to avoid cassava-related toxins.
05
Canola Oil
Canola oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source and palatability enhancer that supplies energy and essential fatty acids—mainly omega‑6 (linoleic acid) and some omega‑3 (ALA)—and aids absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins. It can support skin and coat condition when balanced with animal fats or supplemental omega‑3s, but is calorie‑dense so must be portioned to avoid weight gain, does not provide species‑specific fats such as arachidonic acid for cats, and must be kept fresh to prevent oxidation.
