Asian Fusion Tuna & Shirasu In Gravy Wet Cat Food
Verified Jun 3, 2026
A low-fat, high-moisture wet food featuring wild-caught tuna and small fish (shirasu) as the primary animal ingredients, in a chunks-in-gravy texture. It provides moderate protein for an adult cat, with added taurine and essential vitamins and minerals for daily feeding. The high moisture content can help support hydration, especially for cats that don’t drink much water on their own.
This is a high-moisture, fish-based wet food that can work well for adult cats who enjoy tuna and do well on a relatively low-fat diet. Protein comes from identifiable animal sources, and the mineral and taurine levels are appropriate for routine feeding of healthy adults. It is quite low in fat and relatively low in calories, which can be helpful for overweight or low-activity cats, but may not be ideal as the sole diet for very active or underweight cats without careful portion adjustment.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Named fish (tuna and shirasu) are the primary ingredients, giving a clearly defined animal-protein base for obligate carnivores.
- Very high moisture content (up to 83%) helps support hydration, which is particularly useful for cats prone to low water intake.
- Relatively low fat and calorie density can be helpful for weight control when portions are managed appropriately.
- Includes added taurine and a full complement of vitamins and minerals, supporting daily use for adult cats.
Considerations
- Fish-only protein base may not suit cats with fish allergies or those where vets recommend limiting fish due to individual health concerns.
- The fat level is quite low for a cat diet, so very active, growing, or hard-keeping cats may need larger portions or a higher-fat companion food to maintain weight and energy.
- Uses sunflower seed oil rather than a marine fat source, so while it provides fat, it may be lower in long-chain omega-3s (EPA/DHA) compared with some other fish-based 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
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.
03
Shirasu
Shirasu (Japanese whitebait) is a small juvenile fish used in pet foods as a lean animal protein and palatability ingredient that can supply digestible protein, omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) and, when whole fish are used, additional minerals like calcium. It can support skin, coat and joint health in dogs and cats but may pose allergy risks, and owners should prefer products from reputable suppliers to avoid excessive salt, spoilage/histamine, or contaminant concerns.
04
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.
05
Calcium Lactate
Calcium lactate is a calcium salt used in pet foods as a source of dietary calcium and as a buffering/firming agent, providing a readily available form of calcium that supports bone and tooth health, muscle function, and nerve transmission in both dogs and cats. It is generally safe and well tolerated, but total dietary calcium and the calcium-to-phosphorus balance should be monitored to avoid skeletal issues in growing animals or to prevent complications in pets with hypercalcemia or certain kidney conditions.
