How to feed
Skin and coat problems can have many different causes; if you see itching, redness or heavy shedding, talk to your vet first. Dietetic foods don't replace treatment. Use the feeding chart on the bag for the daily amount and transition over 7–10 days.

Both recipes follow the same functional approach. This version's protein is herring, and its omega-3 level (2.4%) is noticeably higher than the quail recipe (1.2%).
Can I feed it to a healthy cat?
