Plant protein is worth closer review for cats: Soybean Meal may raise the listed protein percentage without meaning there is more meat.
Higher-priority ingredients to review: Soybean Meal, Sodium Bisulfate.
Higher-caution ingredients: Sodium Bisulfate have caution notes in the ingredient database.
Possible allergy triggers: Corn, Wheat, Soybean Meal, and 2 more have allergen notes; review them if your pet has sensitivities.
