Burgess Adult Cat Food British Chicken and Duck - 1.5 kg

Burgess Adult Cat Food – Rich in Chicken with Duck, 1.5kg

Burgess build this recipe around poultry meal at 20.5%, of which chicken accounts for 18.5%, with duck meal adding a further 4%. It is a complete dry food for cats between twelve months and seven years, and the 1.5kg bag is the smallest of the three sizes Burgess make — a sensible amount for one or two cats, since kibble is best used up within a few weeks of the bag being opened.

The declared analysis runs to 29.5% crude protein and 11% fat, with taurine added at 1000mg/kg for heart and vision and short chain fructo-oligosaccharides at 0.3% as a prebiotic. Burgess put the predicted energy at 390.5 kcal per 100g, which is worth knowing if you weigh portions rather than guess them.

Performance & Benefits

• Poultry meal at 20.5%, including chicken at 18.5%, with duck meal at 4%.
• Crude protein 29.5% and crude fat 11%, formulated for adult maintenance rather than growth.
• Taurine added at 1000mg/kg — the amino acid cats cannot make in sufficient quantity themselves.
• Short chain fructo-oligosaccharides at 0.3% as a prebiotic for gut bacteria.
• Vitamin E at 150mg/kg alongside a full trace element pack including zinc at 100mg/kg.
• Predicted energy 390.5 kcal per 100g, so portions can be measured accurately.

Suitable For

• Adult cats from twelve months to seven years.
• One- and two-cat households, where a 1.5kg bag is finished while still fresh.
• Cats that do better on poultry than on fish.
• Feeding dry alongside a wet meal, or as the whole ration.
• Kittens under a year need the higher protein and fat of Burgess Kitten Dry Food with Chicken, not this recipe.

Feeding

• Burgess give the daily amount on the pack, adjusted for appetite, environment and activity level.
