Product Summary

Sanabelle Kitten with Poultry is a complete dry cat food specifically designed for kittens up to 12 months old, as well as for pregnant and lactating queens. The formula features 25% fresh poultry, ensuring high-quality protein to support growth and development. With added salmon oil, this recipe also promotes healthy skin and coat. Its nutrient-dense composition is enriched with vitamins and minerals crucial for strong bones and overall vitality, making it ideal for the early life stages of cats.

Pros:

High protein content (34%): The primary ingredient, fresh poultry, provides quality animal protein to support muscle growth and overall development.
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids: The inclusion of salmon oil ensures essential fatty acids that promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
Balanced for kittens: The formulation includes essential vitamins and minerals like calcium and phosphorus (1.15% and 0.95%, respectively), supporting strong bone development.

Cons:

Higher fat content (21.5%): While beneficial for kittens’ energy needs, it might not be suitable for less active cats or those prone to weight gain.
Low fiber (2%): Some kittens might require more fiber for optimal digestion, and this content could be insufficient for digestive health in some cases.
Crude ash (7%): A slightly elevated mineral content could lead to concerns for long-term feeding, as excess minerals may not always be beneficial in large amounts.

Notes

The score is calculated after relocation of fresh meat or fish ingredient(s) as explained in the calculation rule #7 in Chapter 1.

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.
