Ultima Hairball with Turkey is a dry cat food designed for cats that tend to form hairballs, using a targeted fiber-rich recipe to help swallowed hair pass through the digestive tract instead of being vomited back up.

Turkey (17%) is the first ingredient and the main named animal ingredient, giving the formula a clear poultry base that supports palatability and contributes animal protein for muscle maintenance.

With 33% crude protein and 14% crude fat, the food supplies enough protein to support muscle maintenance while also providing fat as a concentrated source of daily energy and flavor.

Hairball control is supported by 5% crude fiber plus powder cellulose (3.8%) and pea fiber (0.8%), which add bulk to the diet and can help carry ingested hair out in the stool.

The formula is positioned as a veterinarian-developed functional diet, meaning the ingredient selection is geared toward a specific daily concern rather than a generic maintenance recipe.

Skin and coat care is built around 2.2% omega-6 along with added biotin and zinc, nutrients that help support the skin barrier and a shinier coat in cats that groom frequently.

The inclusion of ammonium chloride at 5 g adds urinary-support value because this ingredient is used to help acidify urine and support mineral balance in the urinary tract.

This formula is best suited to indoor or outdoor cats whose main nutritional need is ongoing hairball management and who benefit from added fiber and coat support.

Pros:

• Taurine support: Added taurine at 1,100 mg supports normal heart function, vision, and bile acid metabolism, all of which are essential in cats.

• Antioxidant fortification: Vitamin E at 400 mg, vitamin A at 24,300 IU, and selenium help protect cells from oxidative stress and support immune resilience.

• Hydrolyzed proteins for taste and digestion: Hydrolyzed animal proteins are broken into smaller components that can improve flavor acceptance and make the protein fraction easier to digest.

• Trace mineral coverage: Added iron, iodine, copper, and manganese support red blood cell production, thyroid hormone activity, and multiple enzyme-driven metabolic functions.

• Intestinal flora support: The brand states the recipe includes natural prebiotics to help maintain intestinal flora balance, a useful feature for digestive stability and natural defenses.

Cons:

• Grain and legume emphasis: Whole wheat (15%) and dehydrated peas (12%) appear immediately after turkey, so a substantial share of the recipe comes from plant ingredients that also increase starch content.

• Plant protein concentrate: Maize protein adds concentrated plant protein, which can lift the crude protein figure without matching the amino acid quality of named animal tissue.

• Not a limited-ingredient formula: Turkey, pork, poultry, fish, and beef all appear in the recipe, making it harder to use for cats with suspected food sensitivities or for elimination-style feeding.

• Limited source transparency: Animal fat from poultry and pork, plus hydrolyzed animal proteins, are only partly specified, which makes the exact fat and protein sourcing less clear.

• Moderate ash content: Crude ash at 7.5% indicates a notable total mineral load, which may not be ideal for cats already eating a tightly mineral-managed diet.
