Josera Naturelle Adult Sterilized Grain-Free is a dry cat food formulated specifically for adult sterilized cats, offering a grain-free recipe that supports weight control, urinary health, and dental hygiene.

The first ingredient, dried poultry protein, serves as the primary animal protein source, providing essential amino acids to maintain lean muscle mass in sterilized cats with lower energy needs.

With a crude protein content of 35% and a moderate fat level of 12%, the formula supports muscle maintenance while helping to prevent weight gain in less active or neutered cats.

The inclusion of dried trout protein adds variety to the animal protein sources and contributes omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin and coat health, although specific omega levels are not disclosed.

Pea flour, sweet potato, and red lentils provide digestible carbohydrates and plant-based protein, contributing to energy supply while maintaining a grain-free profile suitable for cats with grain sensitivities.

Beet fiber, plant fiber, and chicory root (a natural source of inulin) support digestive health by promoting beneficial gut bacteria and improving stool quality.

The formula includes sodium tripolyphosphate (0.33%) to help reduce tartar formation by binding calcium in saliva, supporting long-term dental health.

A controlled mineral profile—phosphorus at 0.95%, magnesium at 0.09%, and sodium at 0.5%—helps maintain a urinary pH between 6.0 and 6.5, reducing the risk of urinary stone formation.

Added L-carnitine (200 mg/kg) supports fat metabolism, aiding in weight management for sterilized cats prone to weight gain.

Vitamins A, D3, E, and B-complex, along with trace minerals like zinc and selenium, contribute to immune function, skin integrity, and overall vitality.

Pros:

• Grain-free formulation: Suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or those on a grain-free diet, using alternative carbohydrate sources like sweet potato and lentils.

• Urinary health support: Controlled levels of phosphorus (0.95%) and magnesium (0.09%) help maintain optimal urinary pH and reduce the risk of urinary stones.

• Dental health benefit: Sodium tripolyphosphate helps bind calcium in saliva, reducing tartar buildup and supporting oral hygiene.

• Digestive support: Chicory root (inulin), beet fiber, and plant fibers promote healthy gut flora and improve stool consistency.

• Weight management aid: Moderate fat content and added L-carnitine help support fat metabolism and prevent weight gain in sterilized cats.

• High-quality protein sources: Dried poultry and trout proteins provide essential amino acids for muscle maintenance and overall health.

Cons:

• Undisclosed omega fatty acid levels: While trout and poultry fat may contribute omega-3 and omega-6, the actual content is not specified, limiting assessment of skin and coat benefits.

• High carbohydrate content: At 32.1%, the carbohydrate level is relatively high for a carnivorous species, which may not align with low-carb feeding preferences.

• Use of plant-based protein fillers: Ingredients like pea flour, lentils, and potato protein may dilute the proportion of animal-derived protein.

• Moderate ash content: At 6.7%, the ash level may be a consideration for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities.

• Multiple protein sources: The inclusion of both poultry and trout proteins may not be ideal for cats requiring single-protein diets due to food sensitivities.
