Ingredient concerns

• Wheat Gluten (medium concern): Like corn gluten meal, wheat gluten serves as an inexpensive plant protein that inflates the total protein percentage. It was also at the center of the 2007 pet food recall when melamine-contaminated wheat gluten from China caused widespread kidney failure in pets.
• Sodium Selenite (low concern): Sodium selenite is an inorganic form of selenium with a narrower safety margin than organic forms (such as selenium yeast). It has lower bioavailability and higher potential for toxicity at elevated levels compared to organic selenium sources. Some premium pet foods use selenium yeast instead as a safer alternative.

Guaranteed analysis (dry-matter basis)

On a dry-matter basis (water removed for a fair wet-vs-dry comparison): protein 53%, fat 12.6%, fiber 7.1%, ash 35.4%, carbohydrate 0%. By calories: 63.4% from protein, 36.6% from fat, 0% from carbohydrate.

AAFCO compliance

This food meets the AAFCO growth cat nutrient minimums we can verify — protein 53% vs 30% minimum, fat 12.6% vs 9% minimum.
