Lamb & Blueberry Adult Dry Cat Food

Verified Jun 5, 2026

Cat · Dry Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a high-protein, grain-free dry food for adult cats, built around lamb, pork, chicken, and herring as the main animal protein sources. It includes added omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, eggs, and taurine, along with small amounts of fruits, vegetables, and functional fibers to support digestion. The formula is designed for adult maintenance and may suit active cats that do well on richer, meat-focused diets.

KibbleLab Score
8.6 out of 10

N&D Lamb & Blueberry Adult is a very high-protein, high-fat dry food for adult cats, using multiple named animal proteins and fish oils to provide a nutrient-dense, carnivore-leaning diet. It’s complete and balanced for adult maintenance and offers generous omega-3s, taurine, and added L-carnitine. This can be a strong choice for healthy, active adult cats that tolerate lamb, pork, chicken, and fish well and don’t need calorie restriction.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Very high protein (42% as-fed) and substantial fat (20%), coming from multiple named animal sources including lamb, pork, chicken, eggs, and herring, which generally supports good muscle maintenance in adult cats.
  • Grain-free but not pulse-heavy; pea starch and pea fiber are present, but main ingredients are animal-based, and there are no peas or lentils crowding the top of the list.
  • Robust omega profile (omega-6 at 3.4%, omega-3 at 0.9% with EPA and DHA specified) plus added taurine (0.4%) and L-carnitine to support overall health in adult cats.
  • Complete and balanced for adult maintenance according to AAFCO nutrient profiles, with appropriate mineral levels listed (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium).

Considerations

  • Contains several common allergens for cats (lamb, pork, chicken, fish, egg), so it’s not a good fit for cats with known protein allergies or food sensitivities to any of these ingredients.
  • At 410 kcal per cup with 20% fat, this is an energy-dense food; many indoor or less active cats may gain weight quickly if portions are not carefully controlled.
  • Includes pea starch and pea fiber; while they are not dominant ingredients, owners specifically avoiding legumes should be aware of their presence.
  • Grain-free dry diets can sometimes encourage very enthusiastic eating; ensuring good water intake alongside this kibble is especially important for urinary health in cats.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Lamb
Lamb is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a high-quality animal protein that supplies essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins and is often chosen for its palatability or as a “novel” protein in elimination diets. It can be higher in fat and calories than some other meats and may still cause allergic reactions in sensitive animals, so owners of overweight pets or those with food sensitivities should consult a veterinarian and use proper handling/cooking practices if feeding raw or homemade lamb.

It can be higher in fat and calories than some other meats and may still cause allergic reactions in sensitive animals, so owners of overweight pets or those with food sensitivities should consult a veterinarian and use proper handling/cooking practices if feeding raw or homemade lamb.
03
Pea Starch
Pea starch is used in pet foods primarily as a carbohydrate binder, thickener and texture agent to help form kibble and provide readily digestible energy, rather than as a protein or fiber source. It is a gluten‑free, highly digestible starch that can increase calorie density and glycemic load (important for overweight or diabetic pets) and, like other pea/legume ingredients used in high amounts in some grain‑free diets, should be part of a balanced formulation chosen with veterinary guidance for pets with special health concerns.
04
Pork
Pork is used in pet foods primarily as a high-quality animal protein and flavor enhancer, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins (especially B12 and niacin), iron and zinc, plus fat for calorie-dense energy; it can be suitable for both dogs and cats when balanced in a complete diet. Because pork can be relatively high in fat, it may be inappropriate for pets requiring low‑fat diets or those prone to pancreatitis, some animals may have sensitivities to pork, and raw or undercooked pork can carry parasites or pathogens so it should be properly processed or cooked.
05
Pork Fat
Pork fat is a concentrated animal fat commonly added to pet food to boost calorie density, palatability, and texture, serving as a primary energy source and flavor enhancer. It provides mainly saturated and monounsaturated fats and some omega‑6 fatty acids that can support energy needs and skin/coat condition, but because it is calorie‑dense and relatively low in omega‑3s, excessive inclusion can contribute to obesity or pancreatitis risk, and it should be properly rendered and preserved to avoid rancidity; some pets may also have pork sensitivities.
