Tuna, Shrimp & Pumpkin Recipe in Broth Wet Cat Food
Verified Jun 4, 2026
This is a high-moisture wet food for adult cats featuring tuna broth as the main ingredient, with wild-caught tuna and shrimp providing animal protein. Pumpkin is included as a gentle fiber source to support normal digestion, and the recipe is formulated to be complete and balanced with added vitamins, minerals, taurine, and other essential nutrients. The broth-based texture can also help support your cat’s overall hydration.
Nutritionally, this is a high-moisture, fish-based canned food that’s appropriate as a complete and balanced diet for most healthy adult cats. It offers moderate protein and fat levels for a wet food, with tuna and shrimp as the primary protein sources and pumpkin contributing some fiber. It’s a nice option for cats who enjoy fishy, broth-style foods and may benefit from extra moisture and a bit of digestive support from the pumpkin.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- High moisture content, which helps support hydration in cats that may not drink much water on their own.
- Tuna and shrimp provide animal-based protein, which is what cats are naturally designed to use best.
- Includes pumpkin, which can provide gentle fiber and may help support normal stool quality in some cats.
- Formulated as a complete and balanced diet with added taurine, vitamins, and minerals to meet adult cats’ essential nutrient needs.
Considerations
- Fish (tuna and shrimp) are common protein allergens for some cats, so this would not be suitable if your cat has known seafood sensitivities.
- The protein level is moderate rather than very high for a wet cat food, so very active or underweight cats may need careful portion adjustments to maintain ideal body condition.
- Menadione sodium bisulfite (a synthetic vitamin K source) is included; while allowed and commonly used, some owners prefer products that use other vitamin K forms.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Tuna Broth
Tuna broth is used in pet foods and toppers mainly as a flavor enhancer and moisture source to improve palatability and encourage hydration; it may contribute small amounts of fish-derived protein and omega‑3s but is not a significant standalone protein source. While it can make meals more appealing, pet parents should watch for added salt or preservatives, potential fish allergies, and contaminants such as mercury or histamine, and remember tuna broth does not provide a complete, balanced nutrient profile (including taurine for cats).
02
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.
03
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.
04
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is used in pet foods primarily as a fiber-rich carbohydrate and moisture source that can help regulate digestion and firm up loose stools or add bulk for softer stools, and it provides beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) plus small amounts of vitamins and minerals for dogs and cats. It is safe and beneficial when plain cooked or canned (not spiced or sweetened pie filling), should be fed in moderation as a supplement rather than a primary food, and introduced gradually since large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset or interfere with absorption of some medications.
05
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source to increase energy density, palatability and supply linoleic acid (an essential omega‑6) that helps maintain healthy skin and coat. It is beneficial for dogs and cats but is high in omega‑6 and low in omega‑3—so formulas should balance fatty acids to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; it is calorie‑dense (important for weight control and pancreatitis-prone animals) and may require antioxidants or high‑oleic formulations for better shelf stability.
