9.0 out of 10

Top Pick

This fish-based wet food offers a high-moisture, moderate-protein option for both kittens and adult cats. Salmon and mackerel provide animal protein and omega fatty acids, while added taurine helps meet feline-specific needs. It can work well as a full diet or as a topper to boost hydration and palatability for most healthy cats who tolerate fish and egg proteins.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Salmon and mackerel supply animal-based protein and natural omega-3 fatty acids for cats.
  • Very high moisture content can help support daily water intake, which is important for urinary health.
  • Fortified with taurine, vitamins, and minerals so it can be fed as a complete and balanced meal.
  • Grain-free formula may suit cats that do better without grain ingredients.

Considerations

  • Fish and dried egg are common allergens, so this may not suit cats with sensitivities to those proteins.
  • Sunflower oil is the main added fat source, which is high in omega-6 and may not balance omega-3s as well as some other fats.
  • Being fish-heavy, some cats may do better rotating with non-fish proteins to avoid overreliance on fish long term.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.

02
Salmon Broth
Salmon broth is a savory liquid used in pet foods and as a meal topper to boost palatability and encourage hydration, supplying small amounts of protein, amino acids and omega‑3 fatty acids that can support skin and coat health in dogs and cats. It can help entice picky eaters and increase water intake, but owners should choose low‑sodium, commercially prepared broths free of onion/garlic or other toxic additives and be mindful of fish allergies or potential contaminants in fish‑derived ingredients.
03
Mackerel Broth
Mackerel broth is used in pet foods and toppers mainly as a palatant and moisture enhancer that adds savory fish flavor and can contribute small amounts of fish protein, minerals, and marine omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA), often making it particularly attractive to cats. Nutrient and sodium content can be variable, so owners should watch for fish allergies, elevated salt levels, and potential quality issues (e.g., histamine or spoilage); manufacturers control formulation to limit heavy‑metal or contaminant risks.
04
Egg
Eggs are used in pet foods as a highly digestible, complete animal protein and nutrient source—providing essential amino acids, bioavailable vitamins (A, D, E, B-complex including B12), minerals like selenium and iron, choline and healthy fats—while also improving palatability and texture. They support muscle maintenance, skin/coat and cognitive health in dogs and cats, but raw eggs can carry bacterial risk and contain avidin in whites that may reduce biotin with long-term feeding; some pets may also have egg allergies or require portion control for calorie management.

05
Mackerel
Mackerel is a fatty fish commonly used in pet foods as a high‑quality animal protein and a rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), often added for flavor, palatability and healthy fats. Its omega‑3s support skin and coat condition, immune and joint health in dogs and cats, but owners should be aware of potential heavy‑metal accumulation, food sensitivities, and higher fat or sodium in some preparations, so choose properly processed, deboned sources from reputable suppliers.
