At a Glance

Real whole meat as the first protein ingredient ▾

When whole meat tops the ingredient list, it means protein is the star of the recipe, not an afterthought.

Fewer fillers than 68% of similar foods ▾

Fillers like corn gluten and soy bulk up the recipe without adding much nutrition. Cats are obligate carnivores, so fewer fillers means more room for the animal protein they need.

Marine omega-3 source (EPA/DHA direct) ▾

This food includes a marine omega-3 source like fish oil or salmon oil, which delivers EPA and DHA directly. Plant sources like flaxseed only provide ALA, which pets convert very poorly.
