Performance notes

The crunchy kibble format is standard, and the inclusion of pumpkin among the special ingredients points to an added fiber source that can support digestion alongside the core chicken and turkey protein blend. Because it's formulated for all life stages, portion sizing matters more than formula switching as your cat ages.
