TLC Whole Life Cat Food Ingredients:
Chicken Meal, Chicken, Whole Brown Rice, Whole Grain Barley, Chicken Fat, Pea Fiber, Salmon Meal, Oatmeal, Chicken Liver, Salmon Oil, DHAsalmon oil is likely the source , Whole Dried Egg, Potassium Chloride, Phosphoric Acid, Yeast Culture, Choline Chloride, Flaxseed, Lecithin, Kelp, Cranberry, Apple, Vitamins, Vitamin E, Vitamin C , Niacin, Inositol, Vitamin A, Thiamine Mononitrate, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Vitamin K, Beta Carotene, Vitamin D3, Folic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin B12, Minerals, Zinc Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Iron Proteinate, Copper Proteinate , Manganese Proteinate, Manganous Oxide, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite, Taurine, DL-Methionine, L-Lynsine, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Thyme, Cassia, Anise, Chamomile, Horseradish, Juniper, Ginger, Rosemary Extract herbs have a place IMHO in medicine not feeding

Guaranteed Analysis %

Crude Protein (min) 32.00%
Crude Fat (min) 21.00%
Crude Fiber (max) 5.00%
Moisture (max) 10.00%
Ash (max) 6.50%
Magnesium (max) 0.10%
Magnesium (min) 0.07%
within range on the min but the max is a bit high
Calcium (min) 1.10%
Phosphorus (min) 0.90%
both are a bit high for Uti health
Copper (min) 24 mg/kg
Zinc (min) 170 mg/kg
Vitamin A (min) 14,000 IU/kg
Vitamin D3 (min) 1,800 IU/kg
Vitamin E (min) 150 IU/kg
Vitamin B6 (min) 8 IU/kg
Taurine (min) 1500 mg/kg
* Omega 3 (min) 0.40%
* Omega 6 (min) 3.40%

Omega 6 is nice the ratio of 6 to 3 is 10 to 1 okay but not great
Is it worth trying ?
2 meats 3 grains and two accessory grain /grain likes ... decent but if it is $$$$ I would like pass

I wouldn't... too much grain, and too much fiber - cats don't need that much grains or fiber. I would get either a grain free or a 1-grain food. This is my opinion only...

Thanks sharky for your breakdown of the ingredients! I respect your opinion.

Thank you too carolinalima. I try to find supplemental foods to add to the present rotation. They get Taste of the Wild, California Natural dry and a variety of canned food.

I don't think TLC is worth the expense. Thanks for your help.
