Now Fresh Trout, Salmon & Herring is a grain-free dry food tailored for adult cats who prefer fish-based proteins and require a nutrient-rich, minimally processed diet.

The first ingredient is de-boned trout, followed by de-boned salmon and herring, delivering a high-quality, digestible blend of omega-rich animal proteins.

The formula contains 30% crude protein and 19% fat, providing energy and muscle maintenance for active or indoor adult cats.

Omega-3 fatty acids are present at 0.8% and omega-6 at 2.2%, supporting skin hydration, coat sheen, and anti-inflammatory functions.

Taurine (0.24%) and L-carnitine (100 mg/kg) are added to support heart function, vision, and healthy fat metabolism.

The recipe includes probiotics (198 million CFU/kg), dried chicory root, and fiber from pumpkin and peas to support gut flora and stool quality.

Various fruits and vegetables add antioxidants and micronutrients, such as blueberries, broccoli, pomegranate, and sweet potatoes.

With 6% ash and a balanced mineral content including 0.5% phosphorus and 0.09% magnesium, the formula also supports urinary tract health.

Pros:

• Multiple fish proteins: Includes fresh trout, salmon, and herring for a variety of omega-rich, easily digestible animal proteins.

• Skin and coat support: High in essential fatty acids with 0.8% omega-3s and 2.2% omega-6s for dermal health and anti-inflammatory benefits.

• Digestive support: This product features 3.5% crude fiber, probiotics, and dried chicory root to promote healthy digestion and stool formation.

• Heart and metabolic benefits: Added taurine (0.24%) supports cardiac and eye health, while L-carnitine aids fat metabolism and weight control.

• Antioxidant-rich ingredients: Contains fruits and vegetables like cranberries, blackberries, and broccoli for natural immune system support.

• Grain- and gluten-free: Formulated without wheat, corn, or soy to suit cats with grain sensitivities.

Cons:

• Moderate protein content: At 30% crude protein, it may be lower than ideal for highly active cats or those requiring protein-dense diets.

• High use of plant matter: This includes peas, lentils, potatoes, and alfalfa, which contribute non-animal proteins and carbohydrates.

• No organ meats: Relies on muscle meat without including organ ingredients that provide natural vitamins and minerals.

• Limited EPA/DHA detail: While omega-3 is listed at 0.8%, no specific breakdown of EPA or DHA is provided, limiting transparency for neurological support.

• Lengthy ingredient list: It contains a complex blend of over 50 ingredients, which could make it unsuitable for cats with food sensitivities.

• No chelated minerals are clearly stated: Although proteinate forms are used, full chelation for all trace minerals is not confirmed.
