Verified Aug 30, 2026
This is a high-moisture, fish-based canned food for cats and kittens, with tuna as the primary protein and added crab surimi and egg for extra animal protein. The formula is complete and balanced for both growth and adult maintenance, and its smooth pate texture can be easier for many cats to eat and digest. It’s designed to provide good protein with very low carbohydrates and no added fruits or vegetables.

Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a high-protein, high-moisture wet food that suits most healthy cats and kittens, especially those that prefer or need a softer texture. The use of tuna, crab surimi, and egg provides a good range of animal protein sources, and the calorie density per can is reasonable for portion control. It’s a good option for owners looking for a fish-only, low-carb formula, as long as their cat does not have issues with fish or egg.

Strengths
- Tuna, crab surimi, and dried egg product provide multiple high-quality animal protein sources, supporting essential amino acid needs for cats and kittens.
- Very high moisture content (82%) helps support hydration, which is particularly helpful for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.
- Complete and balanced for both growth and adult maintenance, so it can be fed long term to kittens and adult cats without additional supplements.
- Low in fat and likely very low in carbohydrates, which can suit some indoor or overweight-prone cats when portions are controlled.
Considerations
- Fish and egg are both common food allergens for some cats, so this would not be appropriate for cats with known sensitivities to these ingredients.
- Primary reliance on tuna means long-term, exclusive feeding should ideally be discussed with a veterinarian, especially for cats needing rotation away from fish-heavy diets.
- Relatively low fat (2% as-fed) may not be ideal for very active, underweight, or high-energy cats that benefit from more calorie-dense foods.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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.

02
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).
03
Crab Surimi
Crab surimi is a processed seafood paste—typically made from deboned white fish (such as pollock) flavored and formed to resemble crab—used in dog and cat foods and treats primarily as a palatability enhancer and modest protein source. While it can provide lean protein and appealing seafood taste plus trace minerals, surimi is highly processed and often contains added starches, salt, flavorings, and preservatives, so pet parents should consider sodium, carbohydrate fillers, and potential fish or shellfish allergies when selecting products.
04
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.
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.
