Key Health Benefits

The recipe is formulated to address the common health concerns of adult cats, particularly those with a more sedentary lifestyle. The benefits can be broken down into several key areas:

Weight Management: It has an optimized energy balance (high protein, controlled fat and carbs) to help maintain an ideal body weight. It includes L-carnitine (540 mg/kg) to help preserve muscle mass and limit fat storage .
Urinary Health: The high animal protein content stimulates thirst, increasing urine volume to support a healthy urinary system. Ingredients like chitosan help maintain a healthy urinary pH .
Digestive Health: With low starch and a blend of prebiotics (like FOS and beet pulp) and probiotics (inactivated Lactobacillus), it is formulated to be highly digestible and support healthy intestinal flora .
