Furry PI's verdict

Our investigation turned up real problems with Evolve Classic Crafted Meals. It contains powdered cellulose. To be fair, deboned chicken 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 powdered cellulose, a lower-quality ingredient.

What works

Deboned chicken leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.
Carbohydrate load stays close to what a cat would eat in nature.

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.
