What the manufacturer claims

Cons and what to watch
- Error in the description. It mentions tuna, mackerel and salmon, which are not in the ingredients — boilerplate text for the line. The can contains chicken and tilapia.
- Taurine without units. "500 mg" with no reference amount.
- Unknown fat source. The vegetable fats are not specified.
- No vitamin list. As a sole food — only after talking to a vet.
Tilapia and kelp
Tilapia is a freshwater white fish with tender flesh. It is lean, so it supplies little fish omega-3; the description's promises about "tuna, mackerel and salmon" do not apply to this can. Kelp is a brown seaweed added to the sauce. At just 2% it is more of a flavour and texture component than a real supplement.
How to feed it
One 70 g can is a meal for a small cat. It is most convenient to combine the cans with a complete dry food. If you plan to feed only wet food, discuss the diet with your vet — the card has no feeding amounts. More in how many times a day to feed a cat.
Storage and serving
Keep an opened can in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Bring the food to room temperature before feeding. Do not leave the food in the bowl for more than half an hour. If your cat eats only half, do not mix the rest with fresh food from a new can — that makes it easier to track how long it has been stored.
Fish in a cat's diet
Many cats love the taste of fish, but a diet should not be built on fish alone. Here there is less fish than chicken, so the cans work well for regular variety. Rotate flavours and make sure the base of the diet is balanced. Foods are compared in what to feed a cat: dry or wet food.
Who it suits
The cans suit adult and senior cats, fish lovers and cats that drink little. They do not suit cats allergic to chicken or fish. A similar MENU flavour is VIBRISSE MENU chicken with goji and cheese. All cans are in canned cat food.
Verdict
VIBRISSE MENU chicken with tilapia is a steamed 70 g can: 53% chicken, 21% tilapia, kelp, 10% protein, 2% fat, taurine, no colours or preservatives. The downsides are the description's mistaken mention of tuna, mackerel and salmon, taurine without units and unspecified vegetable fats and vitamins.
