so sorry for the long delay --- I am not sure... I likely bought this based on past experience and trust of the brand....

the list of ingredients is very long. the first few are: chicken, corn gluten meal, rice, brown rice, corn, chicken fat...many of the ingredients seem to be vitamins of various types. my 14 year old cat does very well on this food, which I mix with the intense hairball food for her.

I do not see any by-products mentioned. The entire list of ingredients appears on the bag. This isn't a complete list but the top ones: chicken, corn gluten meal, rice, brown rice, corn, chicken fat, soy isolate, natural chicken flavor, chicken meal, pea fiber, pearled barley, dried beet plug (sugar removed), soya oil, rice hulls, anchovy oil, etc. All I can tell you is that our cat is 15 years old now, and we started her on the regular formula and switched to the "mature" one. She is like a kitten, and this is all she eats. It's expensive but worth it!!

Royal Canin has their own website which will have the info you are looking for. You may need a hypoallergenic version and they have several offerings. Hypoallergenic items, just like if you buy it at a vet, runs $75-$90 for a 6-8 lb bag. Tip given to me by my two different Burmese breeders: never buy any pet food you can get in a grocery store or a mass merchandiser (like Walmart, Target, Costco) as they are not federally regulated and almost always have by products and even diseased animals included in their contents (but are not required to reveal on the labels).

Sheri, I no longer use Mature 27 as our ancient rescue cat has died. I still have a 5 lb. bag, which I am donating to a local cat shelter. The ingredients are printed on the side of the bag. The list starts with "chicken," followed by a lot of other stuff - mostly grains. Interestingly, the Indoor Adult 27 I am using for my two ten year old cats and one year kitten old starts with "chicken meal." (Hmmmm....) I always blend RC with another brand to try to cover all nutritional bases. I use a grain-free brand, but with older cats too much protein can cause problems.

The US Royal Canin web site has all the nutritional information for it, with a complete ingredients list at:http://www.royalcanin.us/products/products/cat-products/feline-health-nutrition/indoor-mature-27You'll probably need to copy that link and paste it into your browsers' URL line rather than just clicking on it.

Welactin does sell an unflavored vs fish flavored. My cat prefers this but I can't seem to find it except at my local vet for twice as much. So until I can find it cheaper, I use the fish flavored & mix with some Fancy Feast with broth. She seems to like it better when the flavor is "hidden" in brothy yumminess.

It shows cans of cat food and one open can in the corner showing solid looking contents. Most of the cans in the box were as shown, but a few were pieces in gravy. My cat loves this cat food.

perhaps you should ask the maker and producer? I use the limited ingredient cat kibble; ask Natural Balance your question, it's the best way to get an answer

This is a completely natural product; dirt and seeds. ... and, I just checked the package and right on front it says "no wheat gluten", so, I think there is your answer. My cats enjoy this product very much and it is a constant part of their diet. My cats do not have special dietary needs however and I think you would need to check with your vet to see if this is a good product for your cat if they do have special needs. I love this product from it's simple packaging to the fact that it is 100% American Made, to the fact that it distracts my cats from the plants I don't want them near and also gives them a healthy natural boost. My cats are indoor only, so I think this rounds out their diets.

S&C;'s customer service is very helpful and knowledgeable. I have called a couple of times with different questions not your question though. My young cats did not eat the food wet but they are quite a bit older now. I have to crumble a couple of the "kibble" as they like it "loose". Each cat gets about 3 kibble which is about .4 grams - not much, but they free feed other kibble. With the food fed dry - drinking water is a very important. Sorry did not answer your question, but customer service would be a good source. Would like to know what they say.

i think you'll have to contact the company for that information. i think it's the only cat food without by-products or fillers and my cat is doing great on it.

I'm not familiar with that brand of cat litter but just a couple lessons I've learned with my unit: Clumping type litter is a must and making sure you keep enough fresh litter in the unit is important and the type of food your cat eats can also make a big difference. Mine only eat dry kibble (Science Diet mostly) and I only have to change mine 1-2 times per week max. If you're doing these things and if your cat is covering properly, I'd say your unit is defective. Hope this helps!

It's like a loose version of pate since it has broth in it, so it's a nicer consistency and doesn't stick to the spoon, unlike the others in this line. My Maine Coon was 17 lbs, but after being put on this food, she's now 13.6 lbs! She loves it! Suggest buying one can at the pet supply store and try it. Better that way than ordering a case online only to find out your cat may not like it.

Recently my one cat has been very finicky about this food, too. Sometimes it has a much thinner texture as well as the stronger smell, and she isn't a fan.I never had that issue with this food coming from the local pet store, but I've had it off and on with shipments from Amazon. Maybe it's being subjected to disparate temperatures in shipping?

It doesn't have a carb. percentage. Most cat food doesn't. If you want the full nutritional analysis you can contact the company, but be forewarned they will ask you to sign an NDA.

No it is not a pate. It is your basic wet cat food. ...a very good one according to my cat! :)

Our senior cat liked this food, and it was the last dry food he had during the last years of his life (sadly, he passed away last May, at the age of seventeen). We tried many others, which eventually he refused to eat, or didn't agree with him. He seemed to tolerate this well, and it wasn't too hard for his teeth. I hope your cat likes it, and has many years of health.

My cat prefers cat food. I've been using this system for years and I've never seen her even attempt to eat a pellet. Maybe it's because I don't portion control my cat's food. If you do, and your cat attempts to eat one, I would stop using it. Though, I can't see a cat preferring to eat something that they poop and pee on.

I use Science Diet prescription and regular. One has extremely small pieces and the other is more medium. I just have to find the balls to replinish each morning. The balls go under most of my furniture. Both of my cats really seem to enjoy dispensing their own cat food.
