The Nutram Sound S5 Balanced Wellness is dry food with healthy grains for healthy adult and senior cats. It’s the everyday recipe: chicken and salmon, added taurine (essential for cats), specific urinary tract support thanks to cranberries and celery seed, and omega-3 for skin and coat.
💧 Why is urinary health so important in cats?
Cats drink little water and are predisposed to urinary problems (crystals, infections, especially in neutered males). A recipe that helps maintain balanced urinary pH, combined with plenty of fresh water, is a preventive investment. Cranberries act as a natural acidifier and celery seeds have a mild diuretic effect.
🌿 What is the "Sound Balanced Wellness" range?
It’s Nutram’s healthy-grain line (oats, brown rice, barley): balanced holistic nutrition for everyday wellness. It’s different from the Total line (grain-free, higher in protein).
The trio of animal proteins at the top of the ingredient list. Cats are strict carnivores: they need abundant protein from animal sources.
An essential amino acid for cats (unlike dogs, cats cannot synthesize enough on their own). A deficiency can cause heart problems (cardiomyopathy) and vision problems. Nutram adds it systematically.
The two pillars of urinary support. Cranberries naturally acidify urine (limiting crystal formation), and celery seed has a mild diuretic effect.
Sources of omega-3 (“Optimum Combinations”) for healthy skin and a shiny coat. Long-haired cats benefit especially.
Powerful antioxidants to support immunity and vitality, especially useful for senior cats.
Natural anti-inflammatories and a calming herb: useful for overall comfort and nervous cats.

The exact guaranteed analysis values and the detailed feeding guide are listed on the package. For the right dosage for your cat, contact our team.
Here are guidelines for an adult cat (adjust according to age, activity, and body condition):
| Cat weight | Daily ration (approximate) |
|---|---|
| 3 kg (6,6 lb) | 1/3 to 1/2 cup |
| 4 kg (8,8 lb) | 1/2 to 5/8 cup |
| 5 kg (11 lb) | 5/8 to 3/4 cup |
| 6 kg (13 lb) | 3/4 to 7/8 cup |
| 7 kg (15 lb) | 7/8 to 1 cup |
Important: fresh water should always be available, ideally in several places around the home. Cats drink little and need this intake for urinary and kidney health.
Unlike dogs, cats do not synthesize enough taurine and must get it from their diet. A deficiency can cause heart problems (cardiomyopathy) and vision problems (blindness). Nutram systematically adds taurine to its cat recipes.
Yes. The formula is designed to cover the needs of both adult cats AND active senior cats. If your senior cat has special needs (kidney issues, significant muscle loss), contact our team for personalized advice.
Yes, and it’s especially beneficial for him: neutered males are more prone to urinary issues, and the built-in urinary support (cranberries, celery seed, balanced pH) is a preventive plus.
S5 is with healthy grains (oats, brown rice, barley) and more affordable. T22 is grain-free and higher in protein, ideal for cats sensitive to grains or owners who prefer that approach.
Chicken and salmon are highly palatable for most cats. If you’re transitioning from another food, we recommend doing it gradually over 7 to 10 days. Our team can help if needed.
Nutram is a Canadian brand we like for its holistic approach. Sound S5 is our go-to recommendation for a healthy adult or senior cat: balanced, added taurine, urinary support as a bonus. Have a question about the transition or the right size? Our team will be happy to help.
