Furry PI's verdict
Our investigation turned up real problems with Halo Holistic Grain Free Kitten. It contains brewers dried yeast. 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 brewers dried yeast, 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
- Deboned chicken leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
- No grains on the label.
- Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as deboned chicken and pork.
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.
