Verified Aug 22, 2026

Cat · Wet Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a moisture-rich canned food for adult cats, built around wild-caught tuna and skipjack in a light gravy. It offers moderate protein with very low fat, making it relatively low in calories compared with many other wet foods. The recipe is supplemented with taurine and a full vitamin–mineral mix to support complete daily nutrition when fed as directed.

8.6 out of 10

Strong Choice

Overall, this is a high-moisture, fish-based wet food that can work well for adult cats who enjoy a lighter, gravy-style meal. The main ingredients are fish broth and named fish (tuna and skipjack), providing good-quality animal protein with relatively low fat and calories. The full fortification with taurine and other nutrients makes it appropriate as a primary diet for healthy adult cats, though the heavy reliance on tuna means it’s best to rotate with other protein sources over time.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Named fish (tuna and skipjack) as primary protein sources, which are generally very palatable to cats.
  • High moisture content (84%) helps support hydration, especially useful for cats that don’t drink much water.
  • Relatively low fat and calorie density can be helpful for cats that need weight control when portions are managed carefully.
  • Includes taurine and a broad vitamin–mineral premix, supporting complete and balanced nutrition when fed according to directions.

Considerations

  • Tuna-heavy diets can contribute to higher exposure to mercury and may be best used in rotation with non-tuna formulas over the long term.
  • Fish-based recipes can be an issue for cats with fish allergies or sensitivities.
  • The low fat level may not be ideal for very active cats or those that struggle to maintain weight without increasing portion size.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Fish Broth
Fish broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavor and moisture enhancer, providing modest amounts of fish-derived protein, amino acids, minerals and sometimes trace omega‑3s but not serving as a primary source of complete nutrition. It can improve hydration and entice picky, senior, or ill dogs and cats to eat, but caregivers should watch for high sodium, added seasonings (especially onion or garlic), potential fish allergies, and variable quality depending on processing.
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
Skipjack
Skipjack (skipjack tuna) is used in dog and cat foods as a highly palatable fish protein and flavor source, supplying complete amino acids, omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) for skin, coat, joint and cognitive support, and trace minerals such as iodine. It is generally lower in mercury than larger tuna species but can still contribute to heavy‑metal exposure if fed in large amounts, may trigger fish allergies in some pets, and should be included as part of a balanced, properly processed diet (raw fish can contain thiaminase and pathogens if not handled correctly).
View ingredient
04
Tapioca Starch
Tapioca starch is a purified carbohydrate used in pet foods mainly as a thickener, binder and easily digestible energy source, contributing virtually no protein, fat, vitamins or minerals. It is low‑allergy and gluten‑free, but because it is a high‑glycemic, low‑nutrient filler it should be limited in diets for overweight or diabetic pets and not relied on for essential nutrition.
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.
