Is this complete food or a topper?

It is formulated as 100 percent complete and balanced nutrition for adult cats, so it can be fed as a full meal. Many owners also use it as a topper over dry food.

It is made for adult cats. Kittens have different nutritional needs, so choose a food labeled for growth.

How much should I feed?

Feeding amounts depend on your cat's weight and whether you feed wet only or mix with dry. Follow the feeding guide on the can and adjust to keep your cat at a healthy weight.

Does it contain artificial colors or preservatives?

No. The recipe is made without artificial colors or preservatives.

How does it compare with Friskies pate?

Same adult-cat nutrition in a different form. Shreds in gravy suit cats that prefer chunks and sauce; pate is smoother and denser.
