Natures Menu Cat High in Meat Grain Free – Salmon, 3kg

Natures Menu Salmon Kibble for Cats – 3kg

Natures Menu build this kibble on deboned Norwegian salmon, with dried peas, chickpeas and potato standing in for the cereal that would normally bulk a dry cat food out. Crude protein comes out at 36% and metabolisable energy at 3,800 kcal per kilo, so a little goes further than it looks.

Dried tuna protein and dried salmon protein add to the fish content beyond the deboned salmon itself, and taurine is added at 1,000mg per kilo — the amino acid a cat cannot make enough of on its own. Carrot, apple, seaweed and rosemary appear in small amounts at the end of the list.

Performance & Benefits

• Deboned salmon 30%, with dried tuna protein 11% and dried salmon protein 5%.
• Crude protein 36%, crude fat 15%, crude fibre 5% and 3,800 kcal per kilo.
• Grain free — dried peas 12%, chickpeas 6% and potato 5% carry the carbohydrate instead.
• Taurine added at 1,000mg per kilo, with vitamin A 27,000 IU, vitamin E 650mg and vitamin C 200mg per kilo.
• Omega 3 at 1.1% and omega 6 at 2% for coat and skin.
• No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Suitable For

• Adult cats on a dry or mixed diet.
• Cats that must avoid cereals, since there is no grain in the recipe.
• Cats that prefer fish to poultry.
• Free-feeding households, where a 3kg bag lasts and stays fresh in a sealed container.
• Not a fish-only food — poultry fat and hydrolysed poultry, pork and fish proteins are all in the recipe, so it is wrong for a strict poultry exclusion diet.

Feeding

• A complete and balanced dry food; feed on its own or alongside a wet food.
• Fresh drinking water must always be available — this matters more on a dry diet than a wet one.
• Measure rather than eyeball the portion; at 3,800 kcal per kilo small errors add up.
• Change over gradually across a week or so from the previous food.
• Natures Menu publish no gram-per-day feeding table for this kibble on their website; follow the guide on the bag and feed to condition.
