My Feline Friend's Spirulina Surprise

I'm excited to share my experience with a new cat food I recently tried for my kitty.

I've been feeding my 5-year-old cat exclusively dry food, mostly PURINA ONE, and just switching up the flavors. When I spotted the new PURINA ONE Nature's Health for Adult Cats with High Chicken Content at the store, I had to give it a try.

The new product was only available in smaller 180g packets, which was a bit inconvenient, but I was eager to see how my cat would like it.

PURINA ONE Nature's Health contains natural spirulina, which supports your cat's natural immune system. The combination of two textures will delight your cat with an amazing taste. As a cat parent, it's reassuring to know that Purina One is a complete and balanced diet developed by veterinarians and Purina nutritionists.

I was really interested in trying this product because of the spirulina - it's an amazing thing! So, what is spirulina? It's a blue-green algae that grows in warm waters of the tropics and subtropics. It's known for its unique natural properties that have a positive impact on health.

The ingredients list is impressive, with chicken (17%*) as the first ingredient, followed by dried poultry protein, whole wheat barley*, corn*, corn gluten, soy flour, animal fat, wheat gluten, glycerol, dried chicory root*, minerals, dried pork protein, flavor enhancer, preservatives, yeast*, fiber, vitamins, amino acids, spirulina (0.2%*), xylitol, and natural antioxidants.

Here are the vitamins and minerals per kilogram:

Vitamin A: 33760 IUVitamin D3: 1100 IUVitamin E: 670 IUVitamin C: 140 mgIron: 57 mgIodine: 1.4 mgCopper: 8 mgManganese: 27 mgZinc: 91 mgSelenium: 0.08 mgAnd here are the macronutrients per 100 grams:

Protein: 34%Fat content: 14%Crude ash: 7.5%Crude fiber: 2.5%Omega-3 fatty acids: 0.1%Omega-6 fatty acids: 2%Taurine: 0.16%The packaging includes guidelines for the recommended daily intake of the food based on the cat's weight category.

I appreciate the convenience of the zip-lock closure and the clear instructions on how to open the package.

When I opened the package, I was greeted by a pleasant aroma that hinted at the tasty flavor inside.

The croquettes are a nice shade of brown, triangular in shape, and look quite appetizing.

I was pleasantly surprised by the texture of these croquettes - they weren't crunchy and hard like I expected, but soft. My cat even ate them without chewing, I didn't hear any crunching sounds at all.

I also appreciated that they weren't overly salty, they tasted pretty good overall. My cat enjoyed them.

My cat's stool didn't change after eating this food, and there's no unpleasant smell.

I'll definitely continue buying this food, but I'll be mixing it up with other types because my cat needs to eat a variety of textures - including crunchy ones - for their dental health.
