Does your cat drink very little, sometimes leave its water bowl untouched or grow bored with its usual meals? A hydrating soup for cats can provide extra water while adding a little variety to the menu. However, take care: not all liquid recipes are equal, and their presentation can sometimes be misleading.
The Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer’s selection is based on the information shown on product pages: moisture content, ingredients, complementary food status, format and feeding advice. The aim is to help you choose a broth for cats suited to your pet’s habits, without confusing a treat with a complete meal.
A liquid soup for cats can contain a great deal of water without meeting their daily nutritional needs. Several pouches featured in this selection are complementary foods: they supplement a complete diet, whether dry or wet, but do not replace it.
So check the legal designation shown on the packaging. A soup designed to support hydration or serve as a treat should not become the basis of your cat’s meals unless the manufacturer clearly states that it can.
A low-calorie cat treat can be useful, but the amount given matters just as much. If you give your cat one pouch every day, it must be included in their overall daily allowance. In the available product information, some INABA recipes state that they contain 0.2% fat, while the 40 g SHEBA pouch soup contains 19 kcal per serving.
This information helps you compare products, but it does not replace guidance tailored to your cat’s weight, age and activity level.
Individual pouches are convenient, but an opened soup cannot be stored in the same way as an unopened tin. For the INABA and SHEBA recipes featured here, the instructions recommend refrigeration at between 2 °C and 8 °C, followed by consumption within 24 hours. Always refer to the label of the product you have bought and do not leave an opened portion at room temperature for several days.
When choosing water-rich cat food, start by checking the “moisture” line in the analytical constituents. INABA Broth products show 93% moisture, compared with 88.5% for SHEBA soups and 87.5% for FELIX products.
A high percentage indicates the proportion of water in the product; it does not, on its own, guarantee that your cat will enjoy it. Texture, smell and their preferences for chicken, tuna or fish remain decisive.
Compare the ingredients, taking their order of appearance into account. The INABA Broth Chicken with Tuna recipe, for example, lists 68% chicken broth, 15% chicken and 15% tuna. The SHEBA Tuna & Chicken Fillet soup, meanwhile, states that it contains 16% chicken breast fillet and 4% tuna.
If your cat is sensitive to certain ingredients, also check the thickeners, flavourings, any cereals and the different sources of protein. A grain-free recipe is not automatically suitable for every cat: the key is that it matches your pet’s tolerance and usual diet.
A 40 or 48 g pouch is generally suitable for an occasional serving and helps minimise leftovers. Multipacks, such as boxes of 24 or 48 pouches, are more convenient for regular use and allow you to vary the recipes.
Serve the soup at room temperature unless otherwise stated. You can offer it on its own in a small bowl, pour it over dry food or mix it with wet cat food. Fresh drinking water should always be available.
Why this choice suits this profile : Its 40 g pouch makes it easy to introduce gradually, either on its own or mixed with your cat’s usual food, without creating lots of leftovers.
The product page states that this is a complementary food, not a substitute for the main meal. Its stated moisture content is 93 %.
A chicken and tuna recipe, 0.2 % fat according to the product page, and suitable for use as a broth or topping.

The product page states that this is a hydrating treat and recommends always keeping fresh water available.
Stated moisture content of 93 %, 0.2 % fat and a 50 g format.
Why this choice suits this profile : The pack of 24 pouches is ideal for a regular routine, particularly if you want to alternate between a topping and a liquid treat.
The instructions provide for one serving per day for an adult cat weighing around 4 kg and recommend reducing the dry-food allowance by 5 to 10 g if necessary.
88.5 % moisture, 19 kcal per 40 g pouch and stated chicken fillet and tuna content.
We have put together a complete, real-time updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria, as well as European safety regulations.
No. It can contribute to the water content of their diet, but fresh drinking water should always be available. Soup is a supplement, not a solution for staying hydrated on its own.
Follow the instructions on the label. The INABA and SHEBA products featured in this selection generally recommend refrigeration at between 2 °C and 8 °C, followed by consumption within 24 hours. Seal the product carefully and allow it to return to room temperature before serving, if necessary.
Yes, if the product page permits it. Pour a suitable amount over the dry food and serve promptly so that it does not remain wet for too long. If the soup provides additional calories, adjust the daily allowance accordingly.
