Digestive Care
Brewers rice edges out chicken by-product meal for first place in this dry food, which Royal Canin aims at adult cats' digestion. It's 36% protein on the label (about 39% with the water out) and 333 calories a cup, and the maker says it meets 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.

| Crude protein | 36.0% | 38.9% |
| Crude fat | 13.0% | 14.1% |

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
