Fromm PurrSnickitty Salmon Splendor Recipe Dry Cat Food

Fromm PurrSnickitty Salmon Splendor Recipe Dry Cat Food

PurrSnickitty Salmon Splendor is the fish lover's pick in Fromm's PurrSnickitty line. Fromm describes it as a blend of salmon and eggs with added probiotics, made grain-free for the choosy cat who perks up at the smell of fish.

What's actually in it

Salmon leads the list, followed by eggs and dehydrated salmon, which is salmon with the water removed so it adds concentrated protein. Pork liver comes in at number seven. Instead of chicken fat, this recipe uses salmon oil and sunflower oil for its fats. Protein is a 33% minimum and fat a 17% minimum.

There are no grains. Chickpeas, peas, tapioca starch, pea protein and pea flour make up the base. Fromm cooks the PurrSnickitty line with what they describe as a lower-and-slower process, which makes a smaller kibble with a gentle crunch that softens quickly as a cat chews. Fromm says that's meant to bring out aroma and flavor and give the mouthfeel cats like... good news if you share your home with a picky eater. Salmon oil and flaxseed add omega fatty acids, which Fromm includes to support skin and coat, and Fromm adds taurine, dried chicory root and a probiotic blend, which they include to support digestion. The preservatives are mixed tocopherols and sorbic acid.

Who it suits, and who it doesn't

It suits a picky cat or kitten who prefers fish, and it's one of the few Fromm cat recipes with no chicken on the ingredient list, which helps a household that's steering around chicken. Because the AAFCO statement covers all life stages, kittens and adults can share it.

It isn't for a cat avoiding fish, egg or pork, and the peas and chickpeas near the top of the list are worth noting for a cat avoiding legumes. If you're unsure, our Personal Pet Consultant is happy to help ... call 732-938-4470.

AAFCO statement

Fromm® PurrSnickitty™ Salmon Splendor Recipe Food for Cats is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages.

Calorie content

3,804 kcal/kg ... 1,729 kcal/lb ... 415 kcal per cup. A cup means a standard 8-fluid-ounce dry measuring cup, filled level. It measures volume, not 8 ounces by weight, so scoop it rather than weigh it.

Feeding guidelines

Fromm's published daily amounts, by your cat's current weight. Use the growth column for kittens and the adult maintenance column for grown cats. Split the total across two or more meals.

These are starting points, not prescriptions. Fromm notes that kittens weighing less than four pounds and/or younger than six weeks should be fed free choice, cats that are pregnant or nursing may need two to four times more food, and spayed or neutered cats may need up to 25% less. Check your cat's body condition after two or three weeks... ribs easy to feel under a thin layer, a gentle waist visible from above... and adjust. Always keep fresh water out.

Switching over

Change foods gradually over about a week. Start with roughly a quarter PurrSnickitty Salmon Splendor mixed into the old food, move to half, then three quarters, then all PurrSnickitty Salmon Splendor. Going slowly gives your cat's stomach time to adjust, and cats in particular tend to accept a new food more readily when it's introduced a little at a time.

Sizes, and how many cups you get

4 lb bag, which holds roughly 17 level cups. For a 10 lb adult cat eating ½ cup a day, that's about five weeks. Cup counts are worked out from Fromm's published calorie figures and are close estimates, since kibble settles as a bag is handled.

Storage

Keep the food in its original bag, rolled down tight, somewhere cool and dry. If you use a bin, put the whole bag inside it rather than pouring the kibble in, so the lot number stays with the food.
