This salmon entrée delivers total omega-3 fatty acids at 1.32% on a dry matter basis, compared to the chicken entrée, which provides 0.63%. The salmon formula also contains taurine at 0.53% dry matter and a distinct ingredient profile built around pork liver and salmon as primary protein sources.

Q2: What age range of cats is this savory salmon canned food designed for?

Ans: This formula is designed exclusively for adult cats between 1 to 6 years. It is not appropriate for kittens, pregnant cats, or nursing cats, as these groups require different levels of nutrients to support growth, reproduction, or elevated energy demands that this entrée does not provide.
