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.
