Furry PI's verdict

Canidae Skin & Coat Formula doesn't hold up well under the magnifying glass. It contains sage extract. To be fair, salmon 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 sage extract — 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.
A modest share of calories comes from protein.

What works

Salmon leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as salmon and chicken fat.

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.
