A beef-forward meal with salmon alongside. Beef chuck and top round carry most of the protein; beef heart, skin-on salmon, egg, a little beef liver, and butternut squash complete it. It is built for cats that love red meat, and for cats that never took to chicken: every meat and organ here is beef. The salmon turns a plain beef meal into a feast, so it is the one to reach for when your cat enjoys our Beef Meal and deserves a treat, or when a cat on poultry meals is ready for a complete change of taste. For more variety without leaving red meat, the Beef & Lamb Meal adds lamb and the Beef, Pork & Salmon Meal adds pork. Both cuts have a job: the chuck brings the rich, well-marbled meat and the top round keeps the meal lean. The salmon brings the omega-3 fats and vitamin D that red meat carries little of, so this recipe needs no fish oil and no vitamin D drops. For a cat that has to avoid chicken entirely, choose Adults Only: the Kitten & Adult variation takes its calcium from our bone meal, which is made from chicken bones. Most of the nutrition comes from the whole foods; supplements only complete what they cannot cover. It follows the proportions of a prey diet, mostly muscle meat with a little organ and a calcium source, and meets the FEDIAF, AAFCO, and NRC profiles for both variations.
