Where the calories come from
- Carbohydrate supplies 7.7% of calories, under the 10% line many vets use for diabetic cats.
- The maker’s typical analysis lists phosphorus at 1.23% of dry matter, but not the moisture or dry-matter calories needed to turn that into mg per 100 kcal, so this can isn’t ranked on phosphorus.
- Label states it is complete and balanced for growth (kittens).
