It includes DHA for brain and vision development, omega-6 fatty acids for skin and coat, and is formulated to reduce the major cat allergen in hair and dander. The recipe uses a mix of chicken, poultry by-products, corn, rice, and soy-based ingredients to provide complete and balanced nutrition during growth and reproduction.

Nutritionally, this is a strong option for kittens and for queens during pregnancy and lactation, especially if someone in the household is concerned about cat-related allergies. It offers high protein and fat levels appropriate for growth, with added DHA for brain and eye development. The diet has been proven in AAFCO feeding trials, which gives extra confidence in its digestibility and overall adequacy.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • High protein at 40% and fat at 18% on an as-fed basis, which is appropriate for growing kittens.
  • Chicken and chicken by-product meal provide concentrated, highly nutritious animal protein sources.
  • AAFCO feeding trials confirm it supports kitten growth and reproduction in real-world feeding.
  • Includes DHA, taurine, and omega-6 fatty acids to support brain, eye, and skin and coat health in kittens.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken, egg, beef fat, soy, and fish, so it is not a good fit for kittens with known food allergies to these ingredients.
  • Multiple soy-based ingredients contribute to the protein level, which may not suit owners looking for an animal-protein–only formula.
  • Dry kibble may not provide as much water intake as wet food, so good access to fresh water is important for kittens on this diet.

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 By-Product
Chicken by-product is a common protein ingredient in pet foods made from edible parts of the bird not typically consumed by people—such as organs (liver, heart), necks and other tissues—and is used to add protein, flavor and nutrient density. It can provide concentrated protein, essential amino acids, B vitamins and minerals (and may contribute taurine when organ meats are included), but composition and quality vary by source, so pet parents concerned about sourcing, higher ash/fat content or chicken allergies should check the manufacturer’s labeling and quality standards.
03
Corn Protein Meal
Corn protein meal is a concentrated plant-based protein ingredient commonly used to raise crude protein and energy in dry kibbles, treats and some wet diets as a cost-effective alternative to animal protein sources. It provides digestible amino acids for dogs but has an incomplete amino acid profile (notably low in lysine and lacking taurine), so it should be balanced with higher-quality animal proteins for growing animals and obligate‑carnivore cats; some pets may also be sensitive to corn and quality/sourcing can affect safety and nutrient content.
04
Rice
Rice is a common carbohydrate source and binder in dog and cat foods, supplying readily digestible energy and often used in formulations for sensitive stomachs or hypoallergenic diets. White rice is gentle and easy to digest while brown rice provides more fiber and micronutrients, but rice is low in essential amino acids, has a relatively high glycemic index, and can accumulate trace arsenic, so it should not be relied on as a primary protein and portions should be considered for diabetic or weight‑management pets.
View ingredient
05
Soybean
Soybean is a common plant-based ingredient in pet foods used as a concentrated protein and fat source (in forms such as soybean meal, soy protein concentrate/isolate, and soybean oil) that supplies essential amino acids, calories, and beneficial polyunsaturated fats. It can be a cost-effective, digestible protein for many dogs but is less ideal as the sole protein for obligate carnivores like cats and may trigger allergies or deliver phytoestrogens and antinutritional factors (e.g., trypsin inhibitors, phytates) that are typically reduced by proper processing, so diets using soy should be balanced and monitored.
