Some tuna now and then probably won't hurt. But a steady diet of tuna prepared for humans can lead to malnutrition because it won't have all the nutrients a cat needs. And, too much tuna can cause mercury poisoning.
Thanks to a SmartBlend® of high-quality ingredients, Purina ONE® True Instinct Tuna Wet Cat Food Recipe in Sauce nurtures your cat's whole-body health. It's also made with real tuna, and the great taste will keep your cat coming back meal after meal.
The Bottom Line Giving your cat a bit of tuna every once in a while is not a big deal. However, due to the dangers of mercury poisoning, you really should not give your feline canned tuna fish on the daily. The recommended SAFE allowance is no more than 1 tablespoon per week.
Tuna should be only a sometimes-treat for your cat, and it's best to mix it in with your cat's regular food. A full can of tuna is far too much for a single serving. One teaspoon of tuna a few times a week should be enough. It should not make up a significant portion of their diet.
Mayonnaise, harissa, yuzu kosho, and Dijon mustard are examples. They also label preserved pickles, relishes, capers, chopped jalapeños, and chili flakes as excellent additions. Anything sweet, spicy, or fragrant is a good addition. Just remember to chop your mix-ins so that the tuna is spreadable.
If you'd like extra veggies in your tuna salad, go for it! Try a 1/4 cup or so of chopped cucumber, red bell pepper, carrots, celery, or even fresh greens, such as spinach or arugula. You may have to add more mayo or cottage cheese to get the consistency you want, but it works!
Plain Greek yogurt Nice! Greek yogurt works as a mayo substitute for tuna, chicken, egg, pasta, or potato salad too. You can swap out all the mayo if you're ready for a big change or start with halfsies and take it slow.
Grain-free refers to a pet food recipe has been produced without any grains included in the ingredients. If you select a Fromm formulation that is grain-free, that means the food won't contain any wheat, rice, rye, barley, or oats.
What is a grain-free diet? Grain-free diets exclude all grains including wheat, bulgur, spelt, farro, quinoa, rice, millet and products made from grains like pasta, crackers, breads, cereals, some plant milks, and more. Many grain-free plans also consider corn and corn products off limits.
There are a lot of dog and cat foods sold as grain-free with marketing suggesting that feeding no grains is healthier. This is not true and can, in fact, cause illness for some dogs and cats. There is no medical or physiologic basis to feed dogs or cats a grain-free diet.
Grain-free dog food does not contain wheat, rice, or other types of grains. Grains are usually substituted for legumes, which could cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). When you cut out grains, dogs can miss out on fiber, fatty acids, and protein.
Tuna is a species of saltwater fish that ranges in habitat from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to Indonesia. The most commonly known species of tuna in the United States are Skipjack, also known as “light” tuna, and Albacore, also known as “white” tuna.
Tuna is incredibly nutritious and packed with protein, healthy fats and vitamins — but it should not be consumed every day. The FDA recommends that adults eat 3–5 ounces (85–140 grams) of fish 2–3 times a week to get enough omega-3 fatty acids and other beneficial nutrients ( 10 ).
Tuna in all forms represents more than one-third of the total fish and seafood segment in the U.S. and more than half of the finfish segment. Canned tuna is the second most popular seafood product in the U.S. after shrimp.
Kirkwood Animal Hospital recommends that you feed your cat a 50-50 mixture of dry and canned food. When feeding the adult indoor cat we recommend 1/4 of an eight ounce cup of dry cat food each day fed with 2.5 ounces of canned food (about 1/2 of a normal can of cat food).
