Key ingredients

🐟 Salmon oil, salmon meal and flax seeds

Generous sources of omega-3. This is the engine of the formula for skin and coat. Cats with skin issues benefit a lot from it.

🍗 Chicken meal and whole eggs

Highly digestible proteins, generally well tolerated by cats with sensitive stomachs.

🌾 Brown rice, rice and pearl barley

A digestible grain base, gentle on the digestive system. The double rice blend (brown + white) helps digestion without overloading on fibre.

💚 Taurine

An essential amino acid for cats, always added by Nutram.

🌿 Chicory root

A natural prebiotic that feeds beneficial intestinal flora. Combined with a simple recipe, it helps keep digestion stable over the weeks.

🌿 Chamomile, peppermint, turmeric and ginger

A blend of soothing herbs (chamomile, mint) and anti-inflammatories (turmeric, ginger), for digestive and overall comfort.

💧 Cranberries and celery seeds

Support for the urinary tract, especially relevant for sensitive cats in general.

Daily feeding guide

Here are guidelines for an adult cat (adjust according to activity level and body condition):

Important: the transition to a new food should always be gradual (7-10 days), especially for a cat with a sensitive stomach. Fresh water should always be available.

Frequently asked questions

How long before I see an improvement?

For digestion (more formed stools, less vomiting), often 2 to 4 weeks after the transition is complete. For skin and coat, expect 4 to 8 weeks for visible changes — omega-3s take a little time to work.

My cat scratches a lot, can this help?

If the itching is linked to dry skin or an imbalance of fatty acids, yes. If it is caused by parasites (fleas) or environmental allergies (mites, pollen), food alone won't be enough — the cause will need to be treated. Contact us, and we can help you figure it out.

Why no peas or lentils in this recipe?

Legumes are widely used in pet nutrition, but can occasionally cause digestive discomfort in sensitive cats. The I19 instead uses digestible grains (brown rice, rice, barley), a profile that is often better tolerated by delicate stomachs.

Is it also suitable for cats without any specific issues?

Yes, it's a very high-quality recipe that can work as a daily maintenance food. But if your cat doesn't have a specific need, the S5 (classic balanced recipe) is also an excellent choice at a more affordable price.

Is it suitable for senior cats?

Yes, and it can even be a good option because senior cats often develop drier skin and a more fragile digestive system.
