N&D Ancestral Grain Lamb, Spelt, Oats, and Blueberry is designed as a complete and balanced diet for adult cats, supporting long-term health and maintenance.

The first ingredient is fresh lamb, which contributes to a 94% animal-based protein profile, supporting muscle growth and maintaining optimal amino acid balance.

This formula provides 36% crude protein and 20% crude fat, making it suitable for maintaining an active and healthy adult cat.

Whole spelt and oats provide slow-release energy with a low glycemic index, helping to maintain steady blood glucose levels.

Essential nutrients from fruits like blueberries, sweet oranges, and pomegranates provide natural antioxidants for immune health.

With omega-6 fatty acids at 3.4% and omega-3 at 0.9%, the diet supports skin integrity and a glossy coat, enhanced with DHA and EPA.

Digestive health is maintained through inulin, FOS, and psyllium seed husk, while taurine and L-carnitine aid heart and metabolic function.

Pros:

• High Animal Protein Content: Features 94% of protein from animal ingredients, ensuring bioavailable nutrients for muscle and tissue repair.

• Rich in Healthy Fats: Provides 20% crude fat, including DHA (0.5%) and EPA (0.3%), vital for brain, vision, and anti-inflammatory support.

• Natural Antioxidant Blend: Incorporates blueberry, orange, and pomegranate for oxidative protection and immune support.

• Functional Grains for Energy: Organic spelt and oats offer digestible, low-glycemic carbohydrates for sustained energy.

• Heart and Metabolic Health: 300 mg/kg of L-carnitine and 4000 mg/kg of taurine assist in cardiovascular and weight regulation.

• Enhanced Skin and Coat: High omega-6 (3.4%) and omega-3 (0.9%) fatty acids promote dermal health and reduce inflammation.

Cons:

• Moderate Ash Content: The ash level of 8.1% is on the higher end, which may require caution in cats with kidney sensitivity.

• Presence of Multiple Protein Sources: In addition to lamb, it contains chicken fat and herring, which could affect cats with specific protein allergies.

• Includes Grains: Although ancient grains, spelt and oats may not be suitable for cats that require a strictly grain-free diet.

• High Fat May Not Suit All Cats: At 20% crude fat, this may not be ideal for overweight or less active adult cats.

• Fiber Level on the Lower Side: Crude fiber is limited to 1.9%, which may be less effective for hairball control in long-haired breeds.
