Ingredient concerns

• Pea Protein (medium concern): Plant-based protein concentrates like pea protein can artificially inflate the total protein percentage on guaranteed analysis without providing the same amino acid profile as animal proteins. Associated with the FDA investigation into grain-free diets and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs, though a causal link has not been definitively established.
• 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 50%, fat 18.2%, fiber 9.1%, ash 11.4%, carbohydrate 11.4%. By calories: 47.3% from protein, 41.9% from fat, 10.8% from carbohydrate.

AAFCO compliance

This food meets the AAFCO adult cat nutrient minimums we can verify — protein 50% vs 26% minimum, fat 18.2% vs 9% minimum.

Wet food, grain-free, for the adult life stage.

Cost to feed

About $5.75 per day to feed (ultra-premium price tier); $23.01 per 1,000 kcal (calorie estimate).
