Why do Adult Cats need a specific recipe?

From 12 months old, cats need a complete and balanced diet formulated for them to help support their everyday health & well-being and provide everything they need throughout their adult years. Cats, unlike dogs, cannot synthesize all amino acids within their body and so it is essential that these are provided in their diet to maintain their health.

Hilltop’s Super Premium Adult Cat Duck with Rice recipe is a great source of quality protein, rich in essential amino acids including taurine and vitamin A to help support the heart & vision, along with omega 3 which also promotes good coat & skin condition. Added cellulose and beet pulp, sources of insoluble fibre help to reduce the formation of hairballs. This complete diet provides the confidence that the cat has everything they require to lead a happy and healthy life.

How does Freshtrusion™ compare to cold pressed?
Unlike cold-pressed foods, which blend pre-made meat meals (which may have involved high temperature cooking) with ingredients before cold-pressing, our Freshtrusion™ process uses freshly prepared meat that is gently cooked at a low temperature (82°C) to protect nutrients and enhance digestibility. This method locks in natural flavour, supports better nutrient absorption, and produces a highly palatable, safe and consistent kibble — giving your cat the benefits of fresh ingredients with optimal nutritional integrity.
