Purina One 7+ Senior Cat Salmon

An older cat's appetite and digestion can both get fussier at once, which is why a senior recipe usually leans on a single easily-recognised protein rather than a long ingredient list, on the theory that a cat is more likely to actually eat what it's given.

Purina ONE 7+ is built around salmon (17%) — including head, bone and meat — with dried poultry protein, wheat, corn, soya meal, wheat gluten and dried chicory root as a prebiotic. Protein is 37%, fat content 13%, crude ash 7.5% and crude fibre 2.5%, with omega-3 at 0.1% and omega-6 at 2.0%, and added taurine at 800mg/kg.

What the label does not say. This is a wheat and corn-based recipe, not grain-free, and Purina's feeding amounts are a starting guide to be adjusted for your own cat's activity, weather and body condition rather than a fixed daily number.

Who it's for: owners of a cat aged 7 or over looking for a complete food built around a single named fish protein, rather than a generic "senior" blend.
