However, it cannot be classified as holistic (fresh and dehydrated meat or fish are used as a source of protein in these foods, there are no vegetable proteins, the fiber content is provided by dried vegetables, fruits or berries) or super premium (these foods do not contain wheat, corn and corn gluten). It roughly corresponds to the composition of premium feeds, but has too much vegetable protein, which is poorly absorbed by the body of a domestic cat.
