Furry PI's verdict
The label tells a weaker story than the front of the pack suggests for Farmina N&D Quinoa Neutered. It contains dried beet pulp. To be fair, duck 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 dried beet pulp, a lower-quality ingredient.
- 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
- Duck leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
- No grains on the label.
- Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as duck and dehydrated duck.
