MR.VET cat pouch 70g nutrient-rich wet food review

At around ₱188 as of August 1, 2026 for a combo of six or twelve 70g pouches. This listing names its additions, which is unusual and useful, and one of them deserves a closer look.

The lysine is the weakest part of the recipe

L-lysine appears in the title, and it is the addition most cat owners recognise. It was adopted widely because in a laboratory, herpesviruses need arginine to replicate and lysine interferes with arginine, and feline herpesvirus is what causes the recurring sneezing people call cat flu.

The trials did not support it. A 2015 systematic review in BMC Veterinary Research concluded that lysine does not prevent or treat feline herpesvirus, found no effect on viral replication in cell culture, and noted that some cat studies reported more frequent infection and more severe disease in supplemented animals. The authors recommended stopping its use.

It is not a reason to avoid this pouch. It is a reason not to pay extra for that word, and not to rely on it if your cat has flare-ups.

The omega-3 is the part with evidence

EPA and DHA, the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil, have the best support of anything in this pouch: skin and coat condition, and inflammation generally.

What the listing does not give is an amount. That is the number that separates a meaningful dose from a trace inclusion, and without it there is no way to tell which this is. Worth asking the shop, since it is the claim most likely to be doing something.

Salmon and tuna as the base is a sensible pairing for the same reason: the fish is where the fatty acids come from.

Seventy grams is a topper

A 4kg adult cat needs roughly 200 to 250 kcal a day, and a gravy-style pouch this size carries a small share of that.

So this is part of a meal rather than a meal. The listing publishes no guaranteed analysis, so it should sit on top of a complete and balanced food rather than replace one.

Six or twelve pouches at this price is under a fortnight of daily topping for one cat, which is worth knowing before the combo looks like a stock-up.

Where a fortified pouch earns its place

For a cat recovering from illness and eating poorly, a small, strongly flavored, nutrient-dense pouch is a genuinely good tool. Warm it slightly to lift the aroma and offer small amounts often.

That is a better reason to buy this than any of the words on the front.

Who this pouch suits

Buy this if you want a fortified topper from a brand with a veterinary positioning, your cat likes salmon and tuna, and you have asked about the omega-3 amount.

Skip it if you are buying it for the lysine, and skip it as a complete diet.

What else to compare

For the highest published protein of any wet food here at a lower price per gram, see the Maxwell real tuna 400g can. For the same brand’s kibble with a published 30% protein, the Mr.Vet T2 50g sachet is the trial size.
