Key benefits and features

• Elimination diet: Based on hydrolyzed fish protein, which allows control of common food allergies and is perfect for cats with sensitivities to certain ingredients.
• High digestibility: The low molecular weight of the fish protein (1.85 kDa) makes it easier for the cat to digest and utilize the nutrients.
• Supports digestion: Contains probiotics, prebiotics, and selected fibers that promote healthy digestion, which is especially important for cats with impaired intestinal function.
• Highly palatable: Contains animal protein and fat, and has a taste your cat will enjoy, for optimal compliance during elimination or long-term use.
• Healthy skin and coat: Contains a balanced composition of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids that contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat.
