Anyone looking for cat and dog food with chicken and turkey will quickly notice plenty of packaging boasting words like “natural”, “premium” or “high protein”. These terms don’t always tell you enough about the ingredients, suitability or daily cost. A good choice starts with the species, life stage and the label — not just the flavour on the front.
Check the ingredients list. For example, Felix Double as Nice Junior states that the Y-shaped kibble contains 2% chicken and 2% turkey, while the overall product also includes cereals, plant-based protein extracts and other ingredients. So the name and picture on the packaging don’t automatically reflect the total poultry content.
Pay attention to the order of ingredients: ingredients are generally listed from highest to lowest. Also check whether “chicken” or “turkey” only appears in a specific kibble or sauce.
A product may be labelled as complete and balanced pet food, yet still be intended for a specific life stage. Kitten food has a different composition to food for an adult cat. Puppy food takes growth into account, while senior cat food is tailored to cats from a certain age according to the product label.
Always check the following:
According to the product information, Felix Double the Tasty Senior is intended for cats aged 7 years and over. Felix Double as Nice Junior is, according to the packaging, suitable for kittens from 6 to 52 weeks. Use these descriptions as a starting point and, if in doubt, follow your vet’s advice.
A multipack of pet food can lower the price per portion, but only if your pet actually eats the varieties and the food can be stored properly. Wet food usually needs to be covered, refrigerated and used within a maximum of two days after opening. For dry food, a resealable pack is important to preserve flavour and texture.
So compare the price per kilogram, price per meal and the shelf life after opening. A smaller portion pack can mean less waste for a cat that’s a fussy eater.
Wet food for cats contains a lot of moisture and is often supplied in trays, tins or pouches. Sheba Mini Filets Chicken & Turkey, for example, states a moisture content of 82% and is intended as a complete wet food for adult cats. The 85-gram portion size makes it easy to measure out meals.
Dry food for cats has a longer shelf life after opening and is easy to portion. Felix Double as Nice Inhome Chicken & Turkey is a dry food for adult cats with chicken and turkey flavour. According to the product description, it contains vitamins and minerals among other things and is free from artificial colours. Always check that the nutritional values and feeding guidelines match your cat’s weight and activity level.
Compare at least the following on the label:
A percentage on its own doesn’t tell you everything. Dry food usually contains much less moisture than wet food, which can make a direct comparison of protein percentages misleading. Also look at the recommended daily portion.
Grain-free dog food contains no cereals, but may include pulses, potato or other carbohydrate sources. Orijen Original Prey Dog Food states, according to the product information, a grain-free composition, 38% crude protein and a weight of 11.4 kg. Acana Classics Grasslands, on the other hand, contains oats among other ingredients and states 27% crude protein.
For a dog without a diagnosed intolerance, grain-free isn’t automatically necessary. Look at the full ingredients list, the feeding guidelines and your dog’s reaction. If there’s an allergy or persistent issues, consulting your vet is wiser than constantly switching foods yourself.

The product information explicitly mentions chicken and turkey, the type of food and the target group: adult cats. This makes it easier to compare your choice against the label.

Complete wet food for adult cats according to the product label; variety in portions and sauce; storage advice is clearly stated.
We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
That depends on the portion size, energy content and packaging. Dry food is often efficient per kilogram and stays usable for longer after opening. Wet food contains more moisture and is often packed per portion, but any unused contents must be refrigerated. Compare the price per day, not just the price of the bag or box.
Gradually mix the new food with the current food over several days. The product information for some dog foods recommends a transition of at least seven days. Keep an eye on your pet’s stools, appetite and weight. If problems persist, it’s wise to consult your vet.
Not without checking the life stage on the label. Kitten food has a different nutritional declaration to adult or senior cat food. Choose a product where the correct target group is clearly stated and adjust the daily amount according to weight and activity level.
