Reflex Multicolor Adult Cat Food With Chicken is a complete dry diet for adult cats, designed to support daily health for both indoor and outdoor lifestyles.

The first ingredient is Processed Chicken Protein (35%), providing the primary animal protein to help maintain lean muscle, complemented by chicken fat as an energy-dense, palatable fat source.

At 32% crude protein and 14% fat, the macronutrient profile supports adult maintenance needs, while the inclusion of corn, rice, and corn gluten contributes additional energy and protein from plant sources.

Dried beet pulp and wheat bran raise crude fiber to 8%, offering functional fiber that supports digestive regularity, stool quality, and a feeling of fullness between meals.

Flax seed supplies plant-based omega-3s (ALA) and, together with omega-6s from the diet, helps maintain healthy skin, a glossy coat, and overall inflammatory balance.

Taurine is included (listed at 1500 mg) to support heart and eye function, while antioxidant vitamins provide additional protection: vitamin A 18,000 IU/kg, vitamin D3 1,500 IU/kg, vitamin E 200 mg/kg, and vitamin C 400 mg/kg.

Prebiotic mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), brewer’s yeast, and the recipe’s cited beta-glucans and CitriStim help nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support immune function through yeast-derived components.

Yucca schidigera aids odor and ammonia control and is often used to help improve nutrient utilization in the gut.

Whey powder contributes readily digestible proteins and amino acids to support muscles, organs, and nerve cells, and a liver aroma enhances palatability for finicky eaters.

A low ash level (3%) helps limit overall mineral load, which can be desirable for cats that benefit from moderated total mineral intake.

Pros:

• Animal protein first: Processed Chicken Protein (35%) leads the recipe, supplying species-appropriate protein to maintain lean muscle in adult cats.

• Digestive fiber support: Dried beet pulp and wheat bran contribute to the 8% crude fiber level, promoting regularity and stool quality while enhancing satiety.

• Skin and coat nutrition: Flax seed provides omega-3 ALA, and combined dietary omega-6s help sustain a healthy skin barrier and shiny coat.

• Targeted micronutrients: Taurine (listed at 1500 mg) plus vitamin A 18,000 IU/kg, vitamin D3 1,500 IU/kg, vitamin E 200 mg/kg, and vitamin C 400 mg/kg support vision, cardiac function, and antioxidant defenses.

• Gut and immune modulators: MOS, brewer’s yeast, and the formula’s cited beta-glucans/CitriStim provide yeast-derived components that help stabilize gut microbiota and support immune responsiveness.

• Controlled mineral load: A 3% ash content keeps total minerals modest, which can be helpful when aiming to avoid excessive mineral intake.

Cons:

• High carbohydrate contributors: Corn, rice, and corn gluten add plant-based carbohydrates and proteins, which may not suit owners seeking a lower-carb, all-animal–protein emphasis.

• Elevated fiber level: The 8% crude fiber may be too bulky for some cats, potentially reducing calorie density and increasing stool volume.

• Artificial colorants: Added colors (E110, E104, E124, E133, E102) offer no nutritional value and may be undesirable for those preferring minimally processed formulas.

• Limited transparency on key metrics: No declared metabolizable energy or omega-3/omega-6 quantities, and calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium levels are not provided, making precise dietary management harder.

• Unspecified additives: “Liver aroma” and “preservatives–antioxidants” are not described in detail, which may concern pet parents who want clarity on palatants and antioxidant types.
