Cats are obligate carnivores — look for foods where animal protein dominates the ingredient list, with taurine added (essential for heart and eye health). Wet food adds hydration; quality dry food like our Tasmanian salmon recipe supports dental crunch and convenience.
Kittens need calorie-dense food 3–4 times daily. Adults do well on two measured meals. Senior cats (11+) benefit from highly digestible protein and joint-support nutrients. Avoid free-feeding — indoor cats gain weight fast.
Every cat food we feature is assessed against Australian standards: named animal protein first on the label, added taurine (essential for feline heart and eye health), and compliance with AS 5812 or AAFCO nutritional profiles. We favour Australian-made recipes, read ingredient panels line by line, compare the cost per feed (not per bag), and have our picks reviewed by Dr Michael O'Brien, BVSc.

A mix of both is ideal for most cats: wet food supports hydration and urinary health, while quality dry food is convenient and helps reduce plaque. Always ensure fresh water is available.
Cats develop strong texture and flavour preferences early. Warm wet food slightly, keep feeding bowls away from litter trays, and transition foods gradually over a week.
Most adult cats need 200–250 calories daily — roughly 50–70g of quality dry food, or one pouch of wet food plus a small handful of dry. Adjust for weight, age and activity.
Yes — salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support skin, coat and joint health, and most cats find the flavour irresistible.
