Fit & Trim Dry Cat Food
Verified Jun 9, 2026
This is a high-protein, moderate-fat dry food for adult cats, designed to support lean body condition. It uses multiple animal protein sources including chicken, turkey, eggs, herring, flounder, sardine, and cod, with added omega-3s, L-carnitine, and probiotics. The recipe also includes legumes and fiber sources to help with satiety and digestive support while keeping calories in a controlled range for weight management.
Nutritionally, this is a very strong option for adult cats, especially those who need to maintain or gradually achieve a leaner body condition. It offers a high level of animal-based protein, moderate fat, and slightly higher fiber, which can help cats feel fuller on fewer calories. This suits healthy adult cats who do well on a grain-free, legume-containing dry diet and do not have known food allergies to chicken, fish, or eggs.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Very high animal-based protein (42% minimum) from a wide variety of named sources including chicken, turkey, eggs, and multiple fish, which supports muscle maintenance in adult cats.
- Moderate fat (14%) with relatively high fiber (6%) and L-carnitine, aligning well with weight management goals and helping with satiety.
- Good omega-3 and omega-6 levels, including EPA and DHA from fish, which support skin, coat, and overall health.
- Includes a probiotic (Bacillus coagulans) and prebiotic sources like chicory root, plus WholePrey-style organs, which can support digestion and provide a broad micronutrient profile.
Considerations
- Contains several potential allergens—chicken, turkey, eggs, and multiple fish—so it is not a good fit for cats with sensitivities to these proteins.
- Relies heavily on legumes (lentils, beans, peas, chickpeas) as carbohydrate and fiber sources; while this is common in grain-free foods, some cats with sensitive digestion may not do as well on legume-rich diets.
- Calorie density is relatively high for a weight-management food (about 444 kcal per cup), so accurate portion control is important to avoid overfeeding, especially in indoor or less active cats.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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.
02
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
03
Herring
Herring is commonly used as a high-quality, palatable fish protein and oil source in dog and cat foods, supplying digestible protein along with beneficial long-chain omega-3s (EPA/DHA), vitamin D, B vitamins and trace minerals. It can support skin, coat and joint health, but may be an allergen for some pets and raw fish can contain thiaminase (typically destroyed by commercial cooking); owners should also consider fat content for pancreatitis-prone animals and look for responsibly sourced, low-contaminant products.
04
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.
05
Turkey Giblet
Turkey giblets (commonly hearts, livers, gizzards and sometimes neck) are used in pet foods as a flavorful animal protein source and palatability enhancer, supplying concentrated protein, B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and other trace minerals. They are nutrient-dense for both dogs and cats but should be included in balanced amounts because liver is very high in vitamin A and can cause hypervitaminosis if overused, may trigger poultry allergies in sensitive animals, and must be properly processed to minimize bacterial contamination.
