Supplemental food (topper). A topper or side dish, not a complete meal — feed it alongside a complete food, never as your cat's only food. There's no overall grade for it — Furry PI grades complete diets — but the label read below still shows what's inside.

Furry PI's verdict

Almo Nature HQS Natural is a supplemental food — a topper or side dish to serve alongside a complete diet, not a meal on its own. That is also why it carries no overall grade: Furry PI grades complete diets only. On the label itself, chicken leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. Worth noting: pumpkin sits high on the list without being animal protein. The app reads the full ingredient list for you.

What's concerning

Among its leading ingredients, pumpkin isn't counted as animal protein, and the top of the list is where cats need meat most.

What works

Chicken 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.

A topper has no overall grade — but the free app still reads its label in full: every ingredient identified and explained, plus complete foods worth serving it on top of.
