Kibble
BalanceDiet kibble requires a bit of an explanation as it is neither wet nor dry cat food. The food is semi-moist, and is processed with fermentation rather than cooking. BalanceDiet claims to be the most hypoallergenic cat food available, and cats are said to require 40% to 60% less food, because of the nutritional value. For more information on the fermentation process, see the manufacturer's web site.
It is interesting to note that the kibble variety contains no grain. Other varieties are coming soon, and this section will be updated at that time. BalanceDiet appears to be only available through the manufacturer's web site and distributors.
