In Stock
Sheba Maguro Pate Rich Premium Adult Fine Cat Wet Food by Sheba, a flagship brand of Mars Petcare, is a gourmet-grade complete wet food crafted to honour the discerning palate and precise nutritional needs of adult cats aged 12 months and above. Where many wet foods settle for generic protein blends, this recipe places Maguro the celebrated Japanese bluefin tuna at the centre of a carefully orchestrated ingredient profile that also features chicken meat, chicken liver, and tuna, all brought together in Sheba's signature silky-smooth fine pate texture. Maguro is prized both for its depth of umami flavour and its exceptional protein quality, making it one of the most compelling protein inclusions available in premium feline nutrition. With 88% moisture content, no added artificial colours or preservatives, and a targeted fortification of taurine, vitamins, and minerals, this product addresses not just palatability but the full spectrum of adult feline health. As an obligate carnivore, your feline friend thrives on high-quality animal protein delivered in a format that simultaneously supports hydration a benefit that a beautifully textured, moisture-rich pate is uniquely positioned to provide. Animeal is proud to offer Sheba Maguro Pate Rich Premium Adult Fine Cat Wet Food as part of our curated selection of exceptional feline nutrition.
Ingredients:
Water: Water forms the dominant component of this formulation at approximately 88% moisture content, delivering direct, bioavailable hydration at every meal. For cats particularly indoor cats with low natural thirst drive wet food is one of the most effective tools available for maintaining adequate daily fluid intake, directly supporting renal filtration efficiency and urinary tract health at the cellular level.
Chicken Meat: Chicken meat provides a clean, highly digestible source of complete animal protein, supplying all 11 essential amino acids that the feline body requires for lean muscle synthesis, enzymatic activity, immune protein production, and metabolic energy. As a light-coloured muscle meat with a high protein-to-fat ratio, it serves as the foundational protein base of the recipe, supporting lean body composition in adult cats.
Chicken Liver: Chicken liver is among the most micronutrient-dense ingredients in any carnivore diet. It delivers preformed Vitamin A (retinol) critical for feline vision, epithelial cell integrity, and immune surveillance; Vitamin B12 and riboflavin for neurological function and cellular energy metabolism; haem iron for efficient oxygen transport via haemoglobin; and copper, which is essential for connective tissue formation and iron utilisation. Liver also provides naturally occurring arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid cats cannot convert from linoleic acid and must obtain directly from animal tissue.
Tuna By-Products and Tuna: Tuna contributes marine-sourced protein alongside naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which support cardiovascular health, coat lustre, skin barrier integrity, and cognitive function. The deep, savoury umami character of tuna is highly stimulating to feline olfactory receptors, reinforcing voluntary food intake and making the recipe particularly effective for cats with reduced appetites.
Chicken By-Product: Chicken by-products represent nutrient-rich organ and tissue components that provide a concentrated source of bioavailable protein, essential amino acids, and naturally occurring micronutrients including zinc and B vitamins. In feline nutrition, organ-derived proteins deliver nutrient density that closely mirrors the composition of prey animals in a cat's ancestral diet, supporting the metabolic requirements of obligate carnivores.
Maguro: Maguro refers to bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis), one of the most prized fish in both human culinary tradition and premium pet nutrition. Maguro is exceptionally rich in high-quality marine protein and naturally occurring EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids, which modulate inflammatory pathways, support retinal photoreceptor maintenance, and contribute to healthy cardiac muscle function. Its intensely savoury, clean flavour profile provides a compelling palatability driver that sets this variant apart, making it particularly suited to cats who are drawn to bold, fish-forward flavours or who may be transitioning away from a less palatable diet.
Wheat Flour: Wheat flour functions as a structural binder in the pate formulation, enabling the characteristic smooth, fine-textured consistency of the product. It is incorporated at low levels for its physical texturising properties rather than as a macronutrient contributor, and does not serve a primary nutritional role in this recipe.
Gelling Agents: Gelling agents are responsible for the cohesive, sliceable pate texture that defines this product. They are used in minimal quantities, are nutritionally inert, and exist solely to achieve and maintain the precise mouthfeel and visual presentation that characterises Sheba's fine pate format.
Taurine: Taurine is an essential dietary amino acid for cats, as the feline liver lacks sufficient cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase activity to synthesise adequate quantities endogenously. At the physiological level, taurine is indispensable for maintaining the structural integrity of retinal photoreceptor cells, supporting the contractile function of cardiac myocytes, conjugating bile acids for efficient fat digestion, and sustaining reproductive health. Chronic dietary taurine deficiency is the leading nutritional cause of feline dilated cardiomyopathy and progressive retinal atrophy, and its explicit inclusion as a fortified ingredient in this recipe reflects a veterinary-grade understanding of obligate feline nutritional requirements.
Vitamins and Minerals: A targeted blend of vitamins and minerals is incorporated to ensure the recipe meets complete and balanced nutritional standards for adult cat maintenance. This micronutrient matrix addresses the inevitable gaps in meat-based diets and supports immune competence, skeletal mineral density, antioxidant defence, and the enzymatic processes underlying everyday cellular function in your feline companion.
