- Your cat needs a lighter wet food. At 2.5% fat and 119 kcal per can, it's the leanest Chunks & Shreds recipe.
Maybe not the best choice if:
- You're feeding a kitten. This recipe is for adult maintenance, so try ORIJEN Chunks Chicken & Tuna Kitten Entrée instead.
- Your cat is sensitive to any of the proteins listed above, or to eggs.

Feeding and Switching Foods
How much to feed: Use the feeding guide on the can as a starting point. Each can has 119 kcal. You can feed it as a complete meal, or mix it with dry food. If you do both, cut back the dry food so your cat doesn't get too many calories. Adjust to keep a healthy weight.
Switching foods: Cats can be particular, so mix the new food into your cat's current food over 7 to 10 days, adding a little more each day. A slower switch helps avoid an upset stomach and food refusal.
Storage: Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, cover and refrigerate any leftovers, and keep fresh water available at all times.
