Reviewer's Bottom Line

Castor & Pollux Natural Ultramix contains no by-products, no fillers, wheat, nor corn. I took off points for the brewers rice, which is a cheap protein substitute and also a known allergen. While purists may not approve of the added fruits and vegetables, I took this into consideration, although some of these do provide antioxidant value.

The bottom line is that this is a nutritious maintenance cat food for adult cats, and my cats love it (except for the bananas).

It will be added to my own rotation of premium dry cat foods, which presently includes Wellness Core and Natural Balance.
