Furry PI's verdict

The label tells a weaker story than the front of the pack suggests for Purina Plus Healthy Kitten Formula. Grains crowd the top of the ingredient list. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

  • Chicken leads, but grains — corn gluten meal and rice flour — dominate the rest of the list.
  • Contains phosphoric acid — an ingredient our database flags as genuinely problematic for cats.
  • Artificial colours or preservatives on the label — caramel color.

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.
