PLUS Urinary Tract Health Dry Cat Food

CatDry

Whole ground corn and corn protein meal take the first two spots in this adult dry cat food, so poultry by-product meal, third, is the first animal ingredient. It's 30% protein, about 33% with the water out, and 355 calories a cup. 9Lives says it's formulated to meet AAFCO's adult maintenance profile for cats.

Nutrition

Labels print these numbers with the water still in, which makes a can look weak next to a bag. The dry-matter column takes the water out, so the two compare fairly.

Manufacturer values are the label guaranteed analysis (minimums for protein and fat, maximums for fiber and moisture), not a typical analysis. Dry-matter figures are PawFYI estimates calculated from the moisture value. Ash assumed 6% (dry food, not published). Carbohydrate calculated by difference from the label values.

Where to buy

Store links go to each retailer’s own product page. PawFYI isn’t paid for them, and a store never changes the numbers. If that changes, anything paid will be labeled “Sponsored”. How we make money
