Complete & Balanced: all your cat needs is in the diet, in the right amounts. No supplementation is needed.
Animal protein based formula: since your cat is an obligate carnivore, only animal proteins provide all the essential amino-acids for your cat’s metabolism. The assimilation of animal proteins will, in a natural way, lead to the proper urinary acidity to prevent bladder stones.
Magnesium content of the diet should be moderate in order to avoid bladder stone formation.
Fat schould also be of animal origin, since cats need the essential fatty acids which are only provided by animal fat sources.
A proper balance of the essential fatty acids omega 6 and omega 3 to help modulate inflammatory processes.
Moderate fermentable fibre sources will stimulate the appropriate intestinal transit typical for a carnivore, and provide the necessary nutrients for the cells lining of the digestive tract. A good fibre source should not capture too much water into the intestine in order to prevent bladder stones.
Highly palatable and digestible for good intake and usage of the nutrients.
Natural antioxidants to protect from free radicals and to stimulate the immune system.
Appropriate kibble size with sufficient abrasive effect for oral health (prevention of plaque and tartar) and a good breath.
The nutritional requirements of your cat are very special. A good quality food is crucial to allow your cat to reach its full potential and to stay healthy and happy for a long time.
Complete & balanced as cats may require this diet for the rest of their life.
Animal protein based as cats are obligate carnivores and need the essential amino acids provided only by animal protein, especially to obtain a good coat quality.
An adequate fibre source which “captures” the ingested hair and moves them safely through the intestinal tract without causing symptoms or discomfort. As increased fibre amounts might also negatively impact the assimilation of nutrients and water from the intestine a high quality fibre source is key.
Quality fat sources, providing all essential fatty acids in the right balance, for optimal skin health and a shiny coat.
Palatability: extra addition of functional fibre sources often results in poor tasting diets.
* With antioxidants: Tocopherol-rich extracts of natural origin (EC additives). ** DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate ** As cupric sulphate, pentahydrate and cupric chelate of amino acids hydrate

Complete & balanced: all your cat needs should be provided by the diet, in the right amounts. No supplementation should be required.
High Energy density: because young kittens have a very small stomach capacity all your kitten needs has to be provided in a small amount of food. Hence the need for much calories in small amounts of food.
Since your kitten is an obligate carnivore only an animal protein based product provides the essential amino-acids for a normal development.
Also the fat is of animal origin to provide for the required essential fatty acids your kitten needs.
Moderate fermentable fibre sources for optimal intestinal health.
Highly palatable and digestible for good intake and usage of the nutrients.
Natural antioxidants for protection against free radicals and to support the immune system.
Appropriate kibble size with sufficient abrasive property for the prevention of tartar build-up, hence stimulating oral health.
Complete & Balanced: It is crucial that your cat now receives a carefully designed diet, providing her all she needs in the right amounts and proportions.
Animal protein based formula: your cat still needs the proper protein sources providing her with all amino-acids she cannot miss for the maintenance of her muscle tissue and for the proper acidity of the urine.
Only animal fat sources can provide the Essential Fatty Acids your cat needs.
A proper ratio of omega 6 and omega 3 Fatty Acids should help modulate inflammatory processes.
Moderate fermentable fibre sources are crucial to maintain a proper intestinal health, a good intestinal transit and a well balanced intestinal flora.
Highly palatable and digestible: this is more and more important as age progresses.
Antioxidants to protect against free radicals and to support the immune system.
Appropriate kibble size, shape and crunchiness with sufficient abrasive effect for the prevention of tartar build-up, hence stimulating oral health and a good breath.
Ground corn, poultry meal, ground rice, corn gluten meal, poultry fat, beet pulp, whole dried eggs, fish meal, pea fiber, natural flavours, cultured yeast, calcium chloride, salt, lecithin, potassium chloride, choline chloride, taurine, vitamins (vitamin A, thiamin B1, riboflavin B2, pyridoxine B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D3, vitamin E, vitamin K, niacin, pantothenic acid, inositol, ß-carotene, folic acid, biotin), minerals (zinc oxide, zinc proteinate, iron sulphate, iron proteinate, copper sulfate, copper proteinate, manganese oxide, manganese proteinate, calciumiodate, natriumselenite), DL-methionine, L-lysin, Yucca schidigera extract. Naturally protected with vitamins C and E and rosemary extract.
Feed a diet that creates an acid urine (pH 6.0 to 6.5), thus preventing crystallization.
The diet should be highly digestible (thus made of the best ingredients) to avoid that water remains within the digestive tract rather than being absorbed from the gut towards the body.
The diet should also contain limited amounts of magnesium, a building block for struvite crystals.
The diet must contain a limited amount of calcium, a building block for oxalate crystals.
Divide the daily ration in multiple small meals consumed throughout the day.
Stimulate water intake by placing several drinking bowls throughout the house. If tap water is used, let it ventilate for about half a day before filling the drinking bowls.
Control overweight (moderate fat content of the diet) and make sure the cat has enough exercise.
Provide an adequate number of litter boxes and keep them clean.
Complete & Balanced: Since feeding amounts are usually reduced during a weight control program it is crucial that all nutrients, vitamins and minerals are provided through this smaller portion of food.
Provide sufficient amount of high quality (animal) protein to maintain lean body mass (muscles) and a lustrous coat (hair is over 90% protein).
Provide less energy from fat. Since cats use carbohydrates less efficiently than fat, the dietary energy should come from carbohydrates rather than from fat.
An appropriate fibre source should help reaching a feeling of satiety while assuring a good intestinal transit, without “binding” water and nutrients in the intestine.
Specific nutritional features can help the cat to burn fat and /or lower the blood glucose level in order to minimize the risk for diabetes.
A proper omega 6 and omega 3 balance (essential fatty acids) and antioxidants should help to control inflammation and protect the immune system.
