Untamed Wild Tuna with Salmon in Gravy

CatWetMain Food

Complete & balanced diet

The label carries a nutritional adequacy statement saying this food is "complete and balanced" — meaning it is formulated to provide every essential nutrient your pet needs for the stated life stage, in the right proportions.

A food may only make this claim if it meets an established nutrient profile (AAFCO or FEDIAF) or passes a feeding trial. Because it is complete, it can be fed as the sole daily diet.

Untamed Wild Tuna with Salmon in Gravy scores 3.5/5 on Moesonson's label-based analysis (an estimate — some main ingredients could not be identified). Its strongest factor is animal-protein content (strong — 100% of the weighted protein comes from animal sources); its weakest is protein clarity (moderate — 50% of the recipe's protein panel is clearly named).

Protein Clarity

Protein Clarity

This measures how clearly the protein sources are identified on the label. "High" means ingredients like "chicken" or "salmon" are listed by name, so you know exactly what your pet is eating. "Low" means vague terms like "meat meal" or "animal by-products" are used, making it harder to know what's really inside.

Why does clarity matter?

According to AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials), pet food labels must follow specific naming standards. When a product uses a named protein like "chicken" it must contain at least 25% of that ingredient. Vague terms like "meat by-products" have no such minimum and can include lower-quality parts from any animal source — making it impossible to know what your pet is actually eating or to identify allergens.

Moderate
Animal Protein

Animal Protein

This estimates how meat-forward the protein sources are from the ingredient label. Named animal proteins count strongly, plant protein concentrates count strongly against the score, and whole plant ingredients with some protein count more lightly. A "High" score means the recipe appears mainly animal-protein led. A "Low" score means the label shows a stronger reliance on plant protein signals.

This is an ingredient-label heuristic, not an exact lab measurement of protein grams.

Why does animal protein matter?

1. Contains irreplaceable essential nutrients Taurine and Arginine — which cats need to stay healthy — are only found in meat. Plants contain none at all.

2. Plant proteins are poorly utilized by the body Even though plant proteins (like corn gluten meal) may show 92.9–96% apparent digestibility, that does not mean high bioavailability. They lack adequate Lysine (only 1.7% vs. the ideal 6–7%) and contain phytic acid that blocks mineral absorption.

How this score is made

This score isn’t a hand-wavy impression: it reads what the label actually prints — the ingredient list, guaranteed analysis and AAFCO adequacy statement — and runs it through the same algorithmic rubric as every other product. No brand pays for placement, and there are no affiliate links on reviewed products.

Tips

  • Protein is Super High (72% dry matter) on our label-based comparison range. Cats generally need more protein than dogs, but diagnosed kidney disease or other medical needs should still be managed with your vet.

    Understanding Super High Protein (≥ 50% Dry Matter)

    Species-Specific Range This bucket uses dry-matter label math. Cats use a higher protein threshold than dogs because cats generally have higher protein needs, so a value that is super high for a dog may only be high for a cat.

    Health Context Matters Healthy adult and senior pets still need enough high-quality protein to maintain lean tissue. Pets with chronic kidney disease or other medical conditions may need adjusted nutrient targets, so those cases should be managed with veterinary guidance.

  • Fat is Medium (13% dry matter) on our label-based comparison range. This is a moderate energy-density signal for many cats, but total calories and body condition still matter.

    Understanding Medium Fat (10% - 16% Dry Matter)

    Moderate Energy Signal This bucket suggests a moderate fat level on a dry-matter basis. It may suit many adult pets when calories, protein, and the adequacy statement also fit.

    Still Check the Whole Diet Fat percentage does not show total calories by itself. Treats, feeding amount, body condition, and life stage can make the same food work well for one pet and poorly for another.
