Why it's Great for Your Cat

Indoor and less active cats have special dietary needs. This formula helps keep your indoor cat happy, healthy and lean. It’s also lower in fat and calories for less active indoor cats. If your cat prefers to stick to the great indoors, has packed on some unwanted pounds, or is getting on in years—CANIDAE® Life Stages Indoor Formula is the perfect choice. The higher fiber levels also help with hairball control.  High quality meat and fish meals, delicious flavor, and our scientifically formulated nutrient-rich recipe make this food a great mealtime solution.

In this formula we include natural chicken meal, turkey meal, lamb meal and fish meal—packing it with protein for healthy muscle maintenance—and other healthy ingredients like peas, papaya, and sage. You’ll also find added Taurine, an essential amino acid for cats, powerful antioxidants to help maintain a healthy immune system, and healthy omegas 6 & 3 for beautiful skin and coat. The ingredients in this recipe come together to provide balanced nutrition and a great taste your cat will love!
