After Dark Pate Chicken Recipe in Chicken Broth Wet Cat Food
Verified Aug 29, 2026
This is a high-moisture canned pate for cats that uses chicken, plus chicken liver, gizzard, and heart as its primary animal ingredients. It provides moderate protein and low fat for a wet food, with a simple ingredient list and no added carbs like grains or potatoes. The soft texture and broth-based formula can work well for adult cats and kittens who prefer moist, meaty foods or need extra hydration support.

Strong Choice
Overall, this is a very good meat-focused wet food with multiple organ meats that help provide a broad range of nutrients in a form cats are naturally inclined to eat. The moderate protein and low fat profile can be suitable for many healthy adult cats and growing kittens, especially those who benefit from higher moisture intake. It’s best for cats that do well on poultry-based diets and don’t need a higher-fat, more calorie-dense formula.

Strengths
- Chicken plus liver, gizzard, and heart provide high-quality animal protein and valuable natural sources of vitamins and minerals.
- Very high moisture content can help support hydration, which is especially important for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.
- Relatively simple ingredient list without legumes, grains, or starchy fillers, which some sensitive cats do better on.
- Calorie information per can is clearly provided, which makes it easier to feed appropriate portions for weight management.
Considerations
- All protein is poultry-based (chicken and egg), so it’s not suitable for cats with chicken or egg allergies or sensitivities.
- Fat content is on the lower side for a wet cat food, so very active or underweight cats may need larger portions or a higher-calorie companion diet.
- Uses sunflower oil as the primary added fat, which provides omega-6 but not the marine omega-3s some cats may benefit from; those would need to come from other foods or supplements.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavorful liquid base or gravy to improve palatability and add moisture, providing modest amounts of soluble protein, electrolytes and minerals. It can help encourage eating and increase hydration, but owners should choose low‑sodium, onion‑ and garlic‑free formulations (or make homemade broth), since commercial broths may contain excessive salt, seasonings or additives that are unsafe or unsuitable for dogs and cats.
02
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.

03
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
04
Chicken Gizzard
Chicken gizzard is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a high-quality animal protein, contributing lean protein, B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and other trace minerals to canine and feline diets. It can improve palatability and nutrient density but should be properly cooked and handled to avoid bacterial contamination, and owners of pets with specific health concerns (e.g., certain renal conditions or urate stone risk) or those feeding whole pieces should consult a veterinarian before regular inclusion.
05
Chicken Heart
Chicken heart is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable animal protein source, providing taurine, B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and coenzyme Q10. It supports lean muscle and, for cats, provides essential taurine, but should be included as part of a balanced formulation and properly sourced/processed to reduce bacterial risk, since excessive organ intake can unbalance nutrients or be a concern for pets with specific metabolic or urate-stone issues.
