Analysis
FOOD FOR CARNIVORES
Your cat is an obligate carnivore and shares her anatomy with the Near Eastern wildcat – which means her body, teeth and jaws, and short digestive tract are designed for a diet rich in meat, protein, and fat.
Based on this biological fact, and to produce a nutritional analysis that mirrors the diet Mother Nature would provide for your cat, ACANA Meadowland is rich in nourishing proteins and oils from meat, all the while limiting unwanted carbohydrates and synthetic additives.
