Furry PI's verdict
Our investigation turned up real problems with Nulo Cat & Kitten. Grains crowd the top of the ingredient list. To be fair, includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as deboned chicken and chicken fat. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.
What's concerning
- Deboned chicken leads, but grains — millet and oats — dominate the rest of the list.
- 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
- Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as deboned chicken and chicken fat.
