Canagan Tuna Cat Soup – 140g

Canagan Tuna Cat Soup – 140g

A cat soup is a hydration product first and a treat second. This one is 95% moisture, 3% crude protein and 0.1% crude fat — barely any calories in the pot — and it exists because cats descended from desert animals drink badly and a cat on dry food is often mildly short of water all the time.

What makes them drink it is the tuna: 89% tuna soup with 5% whole tuna loin, so there are real pieces to fish out rather than flavoured broth. Canagan list it for kittens as well as adult cats, and it is designed to go over food as a topper or to be offered on its own between meals.

Performance & Benefits

• 95% moisture — the point of the product is fluid intake, not nutrition.
• 89% tuna soup with 5% whole tuna loin, so there is solid fish in the pot.
• Taurine at 300 mg/kg, vitamin E at 100 mg/kg and biotin at 2 mg/kg.
• Crude fat 0.1%, so it adds almost nothing to a cat's daily calories.
• Thickened with tapioca starch rather than cereal, with seaweed and tuna oil.
• 140g pot, enough to split across two or three servings for one cat.

Suitable For

• Cats on dry food, which is where low water intake usually shows up.
• Cats being encouraged to drink more on veterinary advice.
• Fussy cats, where a soup poured over kibble restarts interest in the bowl.
• Kittens as well as adults — Canagan list it for both.
• Not a food and not a meal replacement. Pair it with a complete diet such as Canagan Fresh Chicken 75g cans or Canagan Country Game Dry Cat Food; a cat avoiding fish is better served by Canagan Chicken Cat Soup 140g.

Feeding

• Complementary food. Serve between meals as a snack, or spoon it over wet or dry food as a topper.
• It does not replace drinking water — Canagan are explicit that fresh water must still be available.
• Serve at room temperature; straight from the fridge it loses most of its smell.
• Refrigerate any unfinished pot and use it the same day.
