The recipe starts with boneless chicken (30%) and dried chicken protein (28%); the carbohydrate source is sweet potato. For sterilized cats, the fat content is lowered to 11% and the crude fiber raised to 5.1%. Crude protein is 46% and metabolizable energy 3,643 kcal/kg, which is clearly lower than the range's standard adult recipe. The formula also contains egg, herring, fish oil, pomegranate, apple and blueberry, and is supplemented with taurine and L-carnitine.
How to feed
Work out the daily portion from the table on the back of the bag according to your cat's weight and activity. Switch to the new food over 7–10 days, mixing it in gradually with the old food; make sure fresh water is always available.

Frequently asked questions
Why should a sterilized cat eat a separate food?
After sterilization, cats' energy needs fall while their appetite often increases. Formulas with less fat and fewer calories and more fiber make weight control easier.
How is it different from the adult Prime chicken food?
It uses the same chicken and pomegranate recipe base, but the fat content is 11% instead of 20% and the energy 3,643 instead of 4,204 kcal/kg; the fiber content is also higher.
