Furry PI's verdict

Almo Nature HQS Complete doesn't hold up well under the magnifying glass. It contains menadione sodium bisulfite complex. To be fair, tuna 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 menadione sodium bisulfite complex — an ingredient our database flags as genuinely problematic for cats.

What works

  • Tuna leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
  • A strong share of its calories comes from protein.
  • As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.

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.
