Sanabelle Urinary is a dry cat food specifically formulated for adult cats aged 12 months and above, designed to support urinary tract health and reduce the risk of urinary stone formation.

The first ingredient is fresh poultry meat, a high-quality animal protein source that contributes to muscle maintenance while being easily digestible for cats with sensitive systems.

With a moderate protein content of 24.5% and reduced levels of calcium (0.7%), phosphorus (0.65%), and magnesium (0.06%), the formula helps minimize urinary degradation products and supports a stable urinary pH, which is essential for preventing struvite stones.

The inclusion of cranberries, blueberries, and lingonberries provides natural antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress and support immune function.

Animal fats and salmon oil provide essential fatty acids that contribute to skin and coat health, while flax seeds offer additional support for omega-3.

Digestive health is promoted through the use of beet pulp, pea fiber, and chicory, which provide both fermentable and non-fermentable fibers to aid in nutrient absorption and improve stool quality.

Yeast derivatives, including mannanoligosaccharides and beta-glucans, support gut health and immune modulation.

With a metabolizable energy of 3983 kcal/kg and 21.5% fat, the food offers a high energy density suitable for active adult cats or those needing extra calories.

Green-lipped mussels and marigold blossoms are included for their anti-inflammatory and joint-supportive properties, adding functional value beyond basic nutrition.

The formula is gluten-free but not grain-free, using rice and rice flour as digestible carbohydrate sources that are gentle on the digestive tract.

Pros:

• Urinary tract support: Reduced levels of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium help lower the risk of struvite stone formation and support urinary pH balance.

• High antioxidant content: Cranberries, blueberries, and vitamin E (600 mg/kg) provide strong antioxidant protection to support immune health and cellular defense.

• Digestive health support: Beet pulp, chicory, and yeast derivatives promote gut health, nutrient absorption, and stool quality.

• High animal protein proportion: 78.6% of the total protein is from animal sources, supporting species-appropriate nutrition and muscle maintenance.

• Joint and anti-inflammatory support: Green-lipped mussels and marigold blossoms contribute compounds that may benefit joint health and reduce inflammation.

• Energy-dense formula: With 3983 kcal/kg and 21.5% fat, the food is suitable for cats with higher energy needs or those requiring weight maintenance.

Cons:

• Moderate protein level: At 24.5%, the protein content may be lower than ideal for highly active or muscle-maintenance-focused adult cats.

• Contains rice and rice flour: While these carbohydrate sources are gluten-free, they may not align with preferences for low-carb or grain-free diets.

• Limited omega-3 disclosure: Omega-3 and omega-6 levels are not quantified, making it difficult to assess the balance of essential fatty acids.

• High fat content: At 21.5%, the fat level may be excessive for sedentary or overweight cats without portion control.
