Furry PI's verdict
Fromm Pate Indoor Cat Hairball Control earns its grade honestly. Chicken leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. It isn't flawless — it contains dried beet pulp. Even so, the overall picture is good for everyday feeding.
What's concerning
- Contains dried beet pulp, a lower-quality ingredient.
- A modest share of calories comes from protein.
What works
- 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.
