What the manufacturer claims
The card calls the cans a complete food. According to the description, steaming preserves the benefits and natural taste. It also says that whole pieces of salmon are rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that benefit skin and coat, and that seaweed is a natural source of iodine. According to the options, it is flakes in a can for adult cats.

Pros
- Three ingredients. Salmon, rice and water.
- Fish only. No poultry — an option for cats that cannot have chicken.
- No colours or preservatives.
- Steam-cooked. No flavour enhancers.
- Very high moisture. 87.5%.
- Single-serve 70 g can.
Cons and what to watch
- Seaweed from the description. The text promises iodine from seaweed, but there is no seaweed in the recipe.
- An odd fat figure. Salmon is an oily fish, and 0.1% fat with 50% salmon looks implausibly low; check the pack.
- No minerals, taurine or vitamins. That is thin for a complete food.
- 9% protein. Less than the brand's chicken flavours.
What does not add up on the card
The description of these cans is generic text for the line: it mentions seaweed and omega-3 from salmon. But the ingredient line lists only salmon, rice and water. The 0.1% fat figure does not fit an oily fish either, so do not expect a noticeable amount of omega-3 from the can. Go by the ingredients and analysis on the can itself. Label reading is covered in how to read pet food ingredients.
How to feed it
The cans work well as a tasty complement to a complete food: one can a day or as a treat. Fish should not be a cat's only food day after day — rotate flavours. Serve at room temperature: the fish smell comes through more strongly and your cat eats more willingly. If your cat has not had fish before, start with half a can. Schedules are in how many times a day to feed a cat.
Storage
Move the rest of an opened can into a closed container and put it in the fridge — it keeps for up to 48 hours and the fishy smell will not spread. Warm the portion before serving. Throw away leftovers in the bowl after half an hour.
Fish instead of chicken
If your cat tolerates chicken poorly, this flavour is an easy way to vary a wet diet: there is no poultry in the can. For comparison, the brand also has VIBRISSE Jelly tuna with whitebait pouches — also poultry-free. Cats allergic to fish should, of course, avoid these cans.
Who it suits
The cans suit adult cats that love fish, cats that cannot have chicken and cats that drink little — as a complement to the main diet. They do not suit cats allergic to fish. Wet and dry food are compared in what to feed a cat, and other cans are in canned cat food.
Verdict
VIBRISSE salmon in its own juice is a three-ingredient can: 50% salmon, rice and water, 9% protein, no colours or preservatives. The downsides are a description promising seaweed that is not in the recipe, a 0.1% fat figure that looks wrong and no listed minerals, taurine or vitamins.
