HT: Adult Salmon & Rice is a superpremium dry food formulated for adult cats from one year and older.

It features a fish meal with 16% salmon as the primary protein source, supported by dehydrated chicken proteins to provide a high level of digestible animal protein.

The formula contains 70% protein of animal origin, ensuring a diet rich in essential amino acids for muscle maintenance and overall health.

Carbohydrates are sourced from corn and rice (5%), contributing to energy levels and increasing overall carbohydrate content.

The recipe includes beet pulp and fish oil, providing fiber for digestion and omega fatty acids for skin and coat health.

Functional ingredients such as brewer’s yeast and chicken protein hydrolysate enhance palatability and amino acid balance.

Natural extracts of blueberry, pomegranate, bioflavonoids, and rosemary contribute to antioxidant support and immune function.

The food is fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, including 1,800 mg/kg of taurine, which is crucial for heart and eye health.

Pros:

• High protein content: 33% crude protein from animal sources supports lean muscle mass and overall vitality.
• Rich in omega fatty acids: Fish meal, fish oil, and corn oil provide essential fatty acids that promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
• Increased fiber content: 4% crude fiber helps support digestion and may aid in hairball reduction.
• Antioxidant support: Blueberry, pomegranate, and bioflavonoids contribute to cellular protection and immune system health.
• Taurine enrichment: 1,800 mg/kg of taurine helps maintain cardiovascular and ocular function.

Cons:

• Grain-based carbohydrates: The inclusion of corn and rice increases carbohydrate levels, which may not be ideal for obligate carnivores.
• Use of mixed protein sources: While salmon is present at 16%, the inclusion of dehydrated chicken protein reduces the exclusivity of a fish-based diet.
• Moderate fat content: At 10.50% crude fat, the formula may not be suitable for cats needing a lower-fat diet.
• Presence of sodium chloride: Added salt may not be necessary for some cats and could be a concern for those requiring a low-sodium diet.
• Use of hydrolyzed chicken protein: While improving digestibility, hydrolyzed proteins are more processed than whole meat sources.
