It contains no oats, barley, rice, wheat, or corn, making it a suitable option for adult cats on grain-free diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: Does this food contain L-carnitine, and what does it do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAns: Yes. L-carnitine is included at a minimum of 150 mg\/kg. It is a nutrient that helps the body convert fat into energy and supports the development and maintenance of lean muscle mass, which is important for healthy weight management in cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: How many calories does this food contain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAns: This formula contains 3,430 kcal\/kg and 396 kcal per cup, making it a lower-calorie option than the standard Wilderness adult chicken dry food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ5: What is the carbohydrate content of this formula?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAns: This recipe contains approximately 30.11% carbohydrates on an as-fed basis. Owners of cats with diabetes or other carbohydrate-sensitive conditions should consult their veterinarian before switching diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ6: How do I know whether to use the weight reduction or weight maintenance amounts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAns: Use the weight reduction column if your cat is currently overweight and needs to lose weight. Once your cat reaches their target weight, switch to the weight maintenance column to help them stay there. Your veterinarian can advise on the right target weight and feeding goal for your cat's individual situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ7: Does this food contain taurine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAns: Yes. Taurine is included as an essential amino acid that cats cannot synthesize. It supports healthy heart function and vision throughout a cat's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ8: Does this food contain artificial flavors or preservatives?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAns: No. In line with the Blue Buffalo True Blue Promise, this recipe contains no artificial flavors or preservatives. It is naturally preserved with a blend of tocopherols and rosemary oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ9: Is this food suitable for a cat that is already at a healthy weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAns: This formula can be used for healthy-weight cats at risk of weight gain — such as spayed, neutered, or less active indoor cats — by following the weight maintenance feeding amounts. For cats at an ideal weight with no weight concerns, the standard adult Wilderness chicken recipe may be more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ10: Can this dry food be mixed with wet food?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAns: Yes. When mixing, adjust total daily calorie portions from both foods to stay within the recommended daily calorie target and avoid unintentional overfeeding.
