KibbleLab Score
8.6 out of 10

This is a nutrient-dense adult cat food with a strong emphasis on high-quality animal proteins and added freeze-dried raw components, which many cats find very palatable. The protein and fat levels are appropriate for most healthy adult cats, and the inclusion of taurine, omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, and a probiotic is a nice nutritional plus. It’s a good fit for active adult cats without specific protein allergies who do well on a grain-containing but legume-heavy formula.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • High protein level (38% as-fed) from multiple named animal sources including deboned turkey, chicken meal, turkey meal, and trout, which supports lean muscle maintenance in adult cats.
  • Includes several freeze-dried raw components (chicken, organs, necks) that increase animal-derived nutrients and may enhance palatability for picky eaters.
  • Contains added taurine and a guaranteed level of probiotics (Bacillus coagulans), along with prebiotic chicory root, which together can support digestive health in many cats.
  • Provides omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids from chicken fat and flaxseed, which help support skin and coat health in adult cats.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken and turkey in multiple forms, so it is not suitable for cats with poultry allergies or intolerances.
  • Legumes (chickpeas and lentils) are fairly prominent carbohydrate sources; while generally safe for cats, some owners prefer formulas that rely more heavily on animal ingredients and less on legumes.
  • Calorie density is relatively high at 432 kcal per cup, so portion control is important, especially for indoor or less active cats to help prevent weight gain.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Deboned Turkey
Deboned turkey is commonly used in pet foods as a high-quality, lean animal protein that provides essential amino acids, B vitamins, and contributes to palatability and digestibility for both dogs and cats. It supports muscle maintenance and growth but can be an allergen for some animals, so owners of pets with food sensitivities should monitor reactions; additionally, complete diets must be formulated to meet species-specific needs (for example, adequate taurine for cats).
02
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.
03
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.
04
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.
05
Oat
Oats are commonly used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber (beta‑glucans), plant protein, B vitamins and minerals, which can support healthy digestion and help moderate blood glucose and cholesterol. They are generally well tolerated by dogs and can be included sparingly for cats, but owners should avoid flavored or sweetened preparations (and ingredients like xylitol or raisins), be mindful of possible grain sensitivities or cross‑contamination with gluten, and prefer cooked oats for better digestibility and portion control due to caloric content.
