Pros

- Seafood. Mussels and shrimp add variety.
- 12% protein.
- Taurine listed.
- No colours.

Cons and what to watch
- Inaccurate description. Tuna is in the recipe, but the mackerel and salmon mentioned on the card are not.
- Fish and seafood only. Not suitable for cats allergic to fish.
- Taurine without units. It is unclear what amount of food the 500 mg refers to.
- Vegetable fats and vitamins not specified.
What shirasu is
Shirasu is the Japanese name for tiny young fish eaten whole. Its share is not stated, but it comes after the mussels and shrimp, so there is little of it. Together with tuna this makes the can entirely fish and seafood: there is no poultry or beef.
A fish diet: why care is needed
Cats love fish and seafood for their strong smell, so cans like these help when a cat eats poorly. But feeding a cat nothing but tuna day after day is not a good idea: the diet should be varied and balanced. Alternate fish cans with meat ones such as VIBRISSE MENU chicken with ham, and combine them with a complete dry food.
How it differs from Vibrisse Jelly with tuna
In Vibrisse Jelly tuna in jelly pouches the fish is set in gum jelly, fat is only 0.3% and taurine is not listed. MENU cans contain vegetable fats (2% fat), tapioca and listed taurine. For a cat that eats mostly wet food, MENU is the more complete option.
Feeding and storage
One can is a meal for a small cat. Keep opened cans in the fridge for up to 48 hours in a closed container so the fishy smell does not spread. Warm the food to room temperature before serving: cold food smells weaker, and your cat may refuse it. Feeding schedules are in how many times a day to feed a cat.
Who it suits
The cans suit adult and senior cats that love fish, fussy eaters and cats that need extra moisture. They do not suit cats allergic to fish and seafood. Other cans are in canned cat food. Wet and dry feeding are compared in what to feed a cat.
Verdict
VIBRISSE MENU tuna with seafood is a steamed fish can: 63% tuna, mussels, shrimp, shirasu, 12% protein, 2% fat, taurine, no colours. The downsides are a description that mentions mackerel and salmon not found in the recipe, taurine without units and unsuitability for cats allergic to fish.
