Furry PI's verdict

The label tells a weaker story than the front of the pack suggests for Purina LiveClear Sensitive Skin & Stomach Formula. It contains phosphoric acid. To be fair, turkey 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 phosphoric acid — an ingredient our database flags as genuinely problematic for cats.
  • An elevated 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

  • Turkey leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.

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.
