The Nutram Ideal Solution Support I17 is a dry food with wholesome grains formulated specifically for indoor cats. Lower in fat (indoor cats are less active), rich in special fibers (psyllium, cellulose, pumpkin, peas) to help the natural elimination of hairballs, and generous in omega-3 for skin and coat. The winning combo for the reality of a cat that spends its days at home.
🧢 How do fibers help against hairballs?
When a cat grooms itself, it swallows hair. Normally, it passes through the digestive tract and is eliminated naturally in the stool. But if digestion is slow, the hair builds up in the stomach and ends up being regurgitated (the famous cat “a-r-r-r-rgh”). The fibers in I17 (psyllium, cellulose, pumpkin, pea fiber) speed up and regulate digestion : the hair comes out the bottom rather than the top.
🏠 Why a specific indoor cat formula?
An indoor cat burns fewer calories than a cat that hunts outside. A lower-fat formula helps prevent weight gain. Added to that are the typical needs of indoor cats: less stimulation = more grooming = more hairballs, and less natural hydration = more urinary risks. I17 addresses all three issues.
The three special “hair control” fibers. Psyllium is a mucilaginous fiber that helps hair move through the intestines. Cellulose adds bulk. Pumpkin gently supports digestion.
In 3rd place on the ingredient list: a complete protein with an ideal amino acid profile and highly digestible.
Sources of omega-3. For an indoor cat, this is essential for maintaining a healthy coat (so less dead hair to swallow) and healthy skin.
An essential amino acid for cats, always added by Nutram.
Preventive urinary support: indoor cats often drink less and are at risk.

Here are some guidelines for an adult indoor cat (adjust as needed based on activity level and body condition):
| Cat weight | Daily ration (approximate) |
|---|---|
| 3 kg (6,6 lb) | 1/3 cup |
| 4 kg (8,8 lb) | 1/2 cup |
| 5 kg (11 lb) | 5/8 cup |
| 6 kg (13 lb) | 3/4 cup |
| 7 kg (15 lb) | 7/8 cup |
Important: fresh water should always be available, ideally in several places around the home. Indoor cats often drink very little — a water fountain can help encourage them to drink.
Occasionally, yes. But if it happens regularly (once a week or more), or if your cat seems uncomfortable, a recipe like I17 can help a lot. Regular brushing is also an excellent addition, especially for long-haired cats.
After the transition period (7-10 days), most owners notice an improvement within 2 to 4 weeks. Stools often become a bit larger (that’s the effect of fiber and it’s normal).
No. I17 is also a very good fit for cats with limited outdoor access. If your cat is very active outside, take a look at S5 instead (classic balanced recipe), which provides a bit more energy.
Yes, especially for indoor seniors who are slowing down. The lower-fat formula suits them well.
