Hairball Care
Pea fiber is the third ingredient in this dry food for adult cats (1 year and older) that get hairballs, and fiber can go up to 8.5%. Chicken by-product meal and corn come first; protein is 32% (about 35% with the water out), and a cup is 342 calories. Royal Canin says it meets AAFCO's maintenance profile.

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
