Furry PI's verdict
Nulo Hairball Management holds up well under the magnifying glass. Deboned chicken leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. It isn't flawless — the carbohydrate load runs above a cat's natural diet. Even so, the overall picture is good for everyday feeding.
What's concerning
- An elevated carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.
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 deboned cod.
