Guide Review - Innova Dry Cat Food

Innova comes close to being the "Mercedes" of premium dry cat foods. The recipe includes turkey, chicken meal, chicken, selected vegetables, fruit (whole raw apples), along with other ingredients carefully chosen from the five basic food groups, to ensure a nutritionally complete and balanced diet. Like its simpler counterpart, California Natural, Innova does not contain chemical preservatives, corn, or by-products. The fat is from chicken fat, not animal fat, which is rendered from uncertain origins. Innova also contains Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids, which help keep the immune system healthy, along with probiotics, which are believed by some experts to assist digestive tract health. If I had to choose one dry cat food only, for my cat, Innova would probably be my pick. However, because of its substantially higher caloric count, owners of rotund cats might use it sparingly.

Natura Pet Products sold its line of pet foods to Proctor and Gamble in May, 2010. Although this food is still on my rotation list of premium dry cat foods, I will be watching closely for any changes in the formula of this food.

My new kitten loves Inova Dry!, Member jrbales

I've been feeding my adult cats Inova Dry cat food for two years and they are healthy and beautiful! I recently adopted a 3 month old kitten. Within two weeks I happened to notice she was bypassing her 'kitten' formulas and going straight after the Inova. She loves it (along with her Wellness Kitten formula wet food). I've done a lot of research on cat foods, particularly dry, and have come to the conclusion Inova Dry is one of the best out there. It's even worth ordering online if you can't find it locally. It may also seem expensive at first but due to the high quality of the ingredients, cats don't have to eat as much to be satisfied! I'd recommend this food without reservation!
