Appetite Control Care
Pea fiber sits right behind chicken meal at the top of this dry food for adult cats that beg or gain weight, and fiber can run up to 10.8%. A cup is 284 calories, and protein is 32%, about 35% with the water out. Royal Canin says it's formulated to meet AAFCO's Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.

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.

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
