Furry PI's verdict

Our investigation turned up real problems with Addiction Highland Meats Recipe. It contains cobalt sulfate. To be fair, lamb leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

  • Contains cobalt sulfate — an ingredient our database flags as genuinely problematic for cats.
  • An elevated carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.
  • Several other ingredients on the label raise quality questions — the full flagged list is in the app.

What works

  • Lamb leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
  • No grains on the label.
  • Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as lamb and beef.

The grade is only the cover of the case file. The free app shows the full 100-point breakdown, every flagged ingredient, and better-graded alternatives for your cat.
