Overview
Boreal produces a Canadian-Made Line of wet cat food — 13 recipes across multiple can sizes — all made in Canada using primarily Canadian-sourced proteins. Like the dog food wet line, these recipes contain 95% protein from meat and fish, with no grains, no gums, no artificial colours, no thickeners, and no potato. The cat line shares the same Availa-Pet chelated mineral package and low-glycemic philosophy as the dog line, adapted for feline nutritional requirements including supplemental taurine in every recipe.
Our Assessment
Cats.com gives Boreal wet cat food a B+/A- overall (47/60), noting the Canadian-made credentials, 95% meat content, gum-free formulation, and strong ingredient transparency. Cat Food Advisor rates the wet range as above-average, with all 13 recipes earning a positive recommendation. The main trade-off reviewers note is the presence of beans and peas — which contribute plant-based protein to the overall protein count. This is a standard consideration in premium Canadian wet cat food and not unique to Boreal.
Available can sizes — 80g (2.8oz), 156g (5.5oz), and 369g (13oz) — give owners flexibility for single-cat households, multi-cat homes, and meal toppers. The 80g format is particularly useful as a daily topper over dry food. Calorie content is consistent across the line at approximately 105 kcal / 100g or 387 kcal / 369g can.
