Dried ground peas add plant protein. Spinach, carrots, pumpkin, tomato, broccoli, cranberries, blueberries, kale and parsley round out the recipe, and menhaden fish oil and ground flaxseed bring omega fatty acids. The gravy is thickened with guar, cassia and xanthan gums rather than carrageenan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits, and who it doesn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits a healthy cat of any age that enjoys poultry and a flaked, gravy-style texture, and it's a nice way to add variety to a rotation of Instinct flaked cans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause chicken is a major ingredient, it isn't a good choice for a cat that needs to avoid chicken, and it also contains egg, fish oil and peas.

Kittens, and cats that are pregnant or nursing, usually need more, and if you also feed dry food, cut back the cans to match. Check your cat's body condition after two or three weeks... ribs easy to feel under a thin layer, a waist visible from above... and adjust.
