Optimanova Light Chicken & Rice is a premium dry cat food specially formulated for adult cats who tend to gain weight.

The recipe features 40% fresh chicken and 30% dehydrated chicken, offering a highly digestible source of animal protein.

With just 10% fat and added L-carnitine (240 mg/kg), it helps metabolize fats efficiently, promoting weight control while maintaining muscle mass.

This grain-inclusive formula includes 7% rice, providing easily digestible carbohydrates for energy without overloading calories.

Prebiotics like FOS (0.1%) and MOS (0.1%) support gut health by promoting beneficial bacteria and reducing harmful flora.

Adding omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids nourishes the skin and supports cardiovascular and immune health.

Enriched with natural antioxidants, citric extracts (1,000 mg/kg), and yucca extract (150 mg/kg), it protects against free radicals and promotes overall well-being.

This diet ensures high-quality nutrition and safety, manufactured with no artificial colors or preservatives.

Pros:

• High chicken content: 40% fresh and 30% dehydrated chicken provides excellent animal protein for muscle preservation.
• Low-fat formula: 10% fat content, complemented by L-carnitine, aids in weight management without compromising energy.
• Digestive support: FOS and MOS improve gut health, supporting a balanced microbiome and nutrient absorption.
• Natural antioxidants: Citric extracts protect cells from oxidative stress, promoting longevity and wellness.
• Omega fatty acid balance: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids promote skin health and a shiny coat.

Cons:

• Moderate protein content: At 31%, the protein level may be lower than in diets designed for highly active cats.
• Use of plant-based ingredients: Rice protein and cellulose may dilute the overall quality of animal protein.
• Presence of maize: While maize provides energy, it may not suit cats with grain sensitivities or allergies.
