THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE, BALANCED FOOD. IT IS MEANT TO BE USED AS A SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD, NOT FED BY ITSELF.

Here’s a few important points to consider for this particular line:

Meat is the first, and in some cases, the only ingredient
There are not enough added vitamins and minerals to be considered a complete and balanced food by AAFCO, who sets the industry standards for pet food
This is a supplemental food ONLY. It is not to be fed without feeding your cat another “complete and balanced” food
No fillers whatsoever

The Almo Nature Natural product line includes 21 wet recipes/flavors.

Each recipe below includes its related AAFCO nutrient profile when available on the product’s official webpage or packaging: Growth (G), Maintenance (M), All Life Stages (A), Supplemental (S) or Unspecified (U).

The star rating is a rough average of all of the flavors in a single line of food. If an individual recipe scored lower or higher, we will mark that below, next to the flavor.

Ingredient Breakdown

The first ingredient in this cat food is chicken. Good.

While quality of the individual ingredient can vary, chicken is a good protein source for cats.

It’s also important to note that chicken contains about 70% water, so when it is processed and cooked for use in cat food, it will become a smaller part of the total recipe.

After water sufficient for processing, the second ingredient is liver. Good.

Liver is an important organ meat that your cat would eat in the wild to get extra protein, vitamins, and minerals.

This is usually a sign of a high quality food.

The Catological Verdict on Almo Nature Natural Wet Cat Food

Remember – this is a Supplemental food.

That means it must not be the only food you feed your kitty.

It does not include enough vitamins and minerals, nor does it include enough fat to be biologically appropriate for an all-the-time food.

It is an above average wet product.

Meat is the first, and in many cases only, ingredient.

We can assume that this is a meat-based cat food, without enough meat to make it biologically appropriate for your cat’s dietary needs. But again, it should be used as an add-on to another complete and balanced cat food.

To review, on a dry matter basis, this food is 90% protein, 4.5% fat, and 0% carbs.

As a group, the brand has an average protein content of 85%, and average fat content of 4.4%, and an average carb content of 0%.

Compared to the other 2000+ foods in our database, this food has:

Above average protein.
Below average fat.
Below average carbs.

Because it is almost entirely made up of meat, as a supplemental dish, our average rating for this brand is 5 stars.

Recommended.

Almo Nature Cat Food Recall History

We do not believe that a recall indicates a low quality food or company, and we respect the fact that sometimes things happen that cause a manufacturer to recall a food.

Usually these things are non-life-threatening, and we think it’s important to take a moment to be thankful about just how few recalls there really are in the industry, considering the enormous volume of food produced.

However, we do believe that a history of recalls may point to a larger issue with a company, and that discerning consumers want to know who they’re buying from, especially when it comes to something as important as the food you feed your beloved cat.

Here is a list of recalls that have affected the Almo Nature brand in the past:

We could not find any evidence of a recall in Almo Nature’s history.

If you want to stay up to date on the latest recall information affecting your cat’s food, sign up to our email list and receive an email every time a recall is announced. We’ll also let you know about any updated ratings, recipe changes, or new cat foods on the market. (Our alert system will be launched shortly, check back soon.)
