Tips

Protein is Super High (56% dry matter) on our label-based comparison range. Cats generally need more protein than dogs, but diagnosed kidney disease or other medical needs should still be managed with your vet.

Understanding Super High Protein (≥ 50% Dry Matter)

Species-Specific Range This bucket uses dry-matter label math. Cats use a higher protein threshold than dogs because cats generally have higher protein needs, so a value that is super high for a dog may only be high for a cat.
Health Context Matters Healthy adult and senior pets still need enough high-quality protein to maintain lean tissue. Pets with chronic kidney disease or other medical conditions may need adjusted nutrient targets, so those cases should be managed with veterinary guidance.

Fat is Low (8% dry matter) on our label-based comparison range. This may lower calorie density, but cats still need enough essential fatty acids and overall calories.

Understanding Low Fat (< 10% Dry Matter)

Lower Energy Density Lower fat can be useful when a pet needs fewer calories or a veterinarian recommends a lower-fat diet. It is not automatically better for every pet.
Energy and Essential Fats Still Matter Very active, growing, pregnant, or nursing pets may need more energy. Complete diets still need to provide essential fatty acids, so check the adequacy statement and use veterinary guidance for medical diets.
