Boreal Original Chicken is a grain-free dry cat food formulated to provide a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet for everyday feeding.

The primary ingredient is deboned chicken, supported by chicken meal and salmon meal, which contribute a minimum of 33% crude protein for muscle maintenance.

With 18% crude fat from chicken, turkey, and salmon oils, the recipe supports sustained energy levels and a healthy coat.

Peas, northern white pea beans, and pea starch are alternative carbohydrate sources. Avoid grains like corn, soy, and white rice.

Prebiotic ingredients such as chicory root and yeast extract promote digestive health and nutrient absorption.

Essential amino acids like taurine and DL-methionine contribute to heart health and well-being.

Propath minerals, including zinc and copper, are included to support skin health and may help reduce dander.

Pros:

• High-quality animal protein: Deboned chicken, chicken meal, and salmon meal provide essential amino acids for lean muscle maintenance.

• Supports skin and coat health: Omega-6 fatty acids (3.5%) and omega-3 fatty acids (0.4%) promote a shiny coat and healthy skin.

• Grain-free formulation: Peas and northern white pea beans replace grains, reducing potential allergens in sensitive cats.

• Prebiotic support for digestion: Chicory root extract and yeast extract contribute to gut microbiome balance and nutrient absorption.

• Amino acids for heart health: Taurine and DL-methionine support cardiovascular function and overall vitality.

Cons:

• Moderate carbohydrate content: The inclusion of pea starch and legumes may increase the overall carbohydrate load, which might not be ideal for all cats.

• Omega-3 content is relatively low: While present at 0.4%, a higher level of omega-3 (EPA & DHA) could further benefit skin, coat, and cognitive health.

• Ash content at 8% is slightly high: Some cats may require a diet with a lower ash content for optimal kidney health.

• Single animal protein source: While beneficial for digestion, cats with chicken sensitivities may require a more varied protein source.
