This is a dry adult cat food designed for cats with sensitive stomachs, using deboned chicken, chicken meal, and turkey meal as its main protein sources. It includes a blend of grains plus fermentable fibers, prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotic components to support gut health and stool quality. The recipe is complete and balanced for adult maintenance, with added taurine and omega-3 and -6 fatty acids for overall wellness.

KibbleLab Score
8.6 out of 10

This is a high-quality adult dry food with a strong focus on digestive support, built around named poultry meals and deboned meats that provide good-quality protein at 35% as-fed. The inclusion of prebiotics, probiotics (Bacillus coagulans), and multiple fermentable fibers makes it a thoughtful option for cats that tend to have mild digestive upset or irregular stools. It’s best suited for adult cats who tolerate chicken and turkey well and don’t need a diet appropriate for growth, pregnancy, or lactation.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • High protein level for a dry adult cat food (35% as-fed) from named animal sources like deboned chicken, chicken meal, turkey meal, and deboned turkey.
  • Formulated specifically for digestive support, with fermentable fibers (miscanthus grass, chicory root, yeast) plus pre-, pro-, and postbiotic ingredients to help support gut health and stool quality.
  • Contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from flaxseed and salmon oil, which can support skin, coat, and overall health.
  • AAFCO complete and balanced for adult maintenance, with added taurine and a full complement of essential vitamins and minerals.

Considerations

  • Contains multiple poultry ingredients (chicken and turkey), which are common allergens for some cats; not ideal if your cat has known poultry sensitivities.
  • Uses pea protein as an additional plant-based protein source, which slightly dilutes the proportion of protein coming from animal ingredients, though overall animal protein content is still strong.
  • Formulated only for adult maintenance, so it is not appropriate as the sole diet for kittens, or for pregnant or nursing cats.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Deboned Chicken
Deboned chicken is a common primary animal protein in pet foods, providing highly digestible essential amino acids and nutrients such as B vitamins and iron that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health in both dogs and cats. It is generally palatable and relatively lean, but can be a common food allergen for some animals and its nutritional and fat content varies with inclusion of skin or fat—ensure proper sourcing and handling to reduce contamination risk and consult a veterinarian if you suspect a food sensitivity.
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
Sorghum
Sorghum is a cereal grain commonly used in pet foods as a source of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber and modest plant protein, often chosen as a gluten‑free alternative to wheat or corn. It can provide fermentable fiber and antioxidant compounds that may support digestion and glycemic control, but is generally less digestible than some grains unless properly processed and certain tannin‑rich varieties can reduce nutrient availability, so quality sourcing and appropriate formulation are important—particularly for cats, whose diets should remain primarily animal‑based.
05
Millet
Millet is a small, gluten-free cereal grain used in pet foods primarily as a carbohydrate and fiber source that also contributes modest amounts of protein, B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and may be used in some cat recipes, but because cats are obligate carnivores and millet is relatively high in carbohydrates and contains phytic acid (an anti‑nutrient), it is usually cooked/processed for better digestibility and should be part of a formula that meets species‑specific protein and taurine needs; pets with specific grain sensitivities may still react, so consult your veterinarian if concerned.
