Furry PI's verdict

The label tells a weaker story than the front of the pack suggests for Almo Nature Life Maintenance. Grains crowd the top of the ingredient list. To be fair, includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as fresh turkey and dried turkey. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

  • Fresh turkey leads, but grains — maize and rice — dominate the rest of the list.
  • Contains menadione nicotinamide bisulphite — an ingredient our database flags as genuinely problematic for cats.
  • A high carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.

What works

  • Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as fresh turkey and dried turkey.
