Tips
- Protein is Super High (66% dry matter) on our label-based comparison range. This can suit some active or growing pets, but medical conditions such as kidney disease need veterinary guidance.
- Fat is Super High (24% dry matter) on our label-based comparison range. This is very energy-dense, so suitability depends heavily on species, body condition, activity, and medical history.
