Cennamo Starcat Adult Sterilized Blue Fish is a dry cat food formulated for sterilized adult cats requiring controlled weight management.

The primary protein source is dehydrated animal protein at 30%, with a minimum of 10% derived from herring, contributing to a crude protein level of 26.5%.

Durum wheat, corn, and rice serve as carbohydrate sources, offering caloric support while reducing fat and energy density.

Crude fat content is 10.5%, which is moderate and supports energy needs without promoting excessive weight gain.

Including carob and yeasts, alongside 3.5% crude fiber, promotes digestive function and satiety in sterilized cats.

The 9% crude ash content reflects the overall mineral presence in the food, which may need monitoring in sensitive cats.

The formula is fortified with vitamin A (12,000 IU/kg), D3 (800 IU/kg), E (85 mg/kg), and taurine (450 mg/kg) to support vision, immunity, and heart function.

Sodium tripolyphosphate and antioxidants are included as technological additives to support dental health and preserve food quality.
