Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a complete meal or a topper?
This is a complete and nutritionally balanced meal formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, including growth (kittens) and maintenance (adult cats). No supplementation is needed.

Why are three fish species used instead of one?
Herring, anchovy, and sardines are used together to create a broad amino acid profile while still qualifying as a single protein category (ocean fish). This approach maximizes nutritional completeness without introducing multiple protein types.

Is this formula safe for cats with chicken allergies?
The formula contains chicken fat, which is a rendered fat source. Cats with confirmed chicken protein allergies should consult a veterinarian before feeding, as trace proteins may be present in rendered fats. The formula contains no chicken meal or chicken meat.

Why is low magnesium important for cats?
High dietary magnesium has been associated with struvite crystal formation in cats. A low-magnesium formula like this one helps reduce that risk, making it a practical choice for cats with a history of urinary issues.
