N&D Ancestral Grain Chicken, Spelt, Oats, and Pomegranate is formulated to support the nutritional needs of neutered adult cats.

The first ingredient is fresh chicken, ensuring high-quality animal protein that accounts for 94% of the total protein content.

The formula provides 38% crude protein and 10% crude fat, aligning with the reduced energy needs of sterilized cats while maintaining muscle mass.

Organic ancient grains such as spelt and oats provide balanced, low-glycemic carbohydrates to promote stable blood sugar levels.

Rich in natural antioxidants from dried pomegranate, spinach, and blueberries, it supports immune system resilience and oxidative balance.

Omega-3 fatty acids at 0.40% and Omega-6 at 1.80% enhance skin, coat, and cellular health, supplemented with taurine and L-carnitine.

The recipe incorporates prebiotics and fiber sources, such as inulin, FOS, and psyllium husk, to support digestive health and hairball control.

Pros:

• High-Quality Animal Protein Source: Contains 94% of protein from animal ingredients, supporting lean body mass maintenance.

• Optimized for Neutered Cats: Lower fat at 10% and fiber at 5.5% help prevent weight gain while enhancing satiety.

• Ancient Grains for Digestive Support: Spelt and oats provide easily digestible, slow-releasing energy with a low glycemic impact.

• Antioxidant-Rich Fruits and Vegetables: Dried pomegranate, spinach, and blueberries deliver a natural defense against cellular damage.

• Heart and Muscle Support: Fortified with 400 mg/kg of L-carnitine and 5000 mg/kg of taurine to maintain cardiovascular and muscular health.

• Comprehensive Micro and Macronutrient Profile: Includes DHA (0.25%) and EPA (0.15%) to promote cognitive and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Cons:

• Moderate Ash Content: Ash at 8.3% may be slightly elevated, requiring monitoring for cats with pre-existing kidney concerns.

• Grain-Containing Formula: The Presence of spelt and oats may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or strict grain-free dietary needs.

• Lower Fat May Not Suit Highly Active Cats: Cats with high physical activity might require higher-fat diets for sufficient energy.

• Limited Single Protein Focus: While primarily chicken-based, the inclusion of herring could be unsuitable for highly sensitive cats.

• Moderate Fiber Could Impact Palatability: The higher fiber content at 5.5% might affect texture and acceptance among picky eaters.
