Real Chicken Protein
Hairball Management
Helps Maintain Healthy Weight
For Overweight, Less Active Adults

MAX® CAT products are made with select ingredients and the vitamins and minerals your cat needs for its health and wellness. With the taste of real chicken, your cat will find MAX® CAT irresistible! MAX® CAT provides rich sources of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids to help provide for a rich, glossy coat and supple skin.

 
Antioxidants
Vitamin E, Taurine, Vitamin C, Tomato Pomace, Cranberries, and Blueberries provide excellent sources of antioxidants for a healthy immune system. Taurine is also essential for your cat’s vision and heart function.
 
Real Chicken Protein
The #1 ingredient in MAX® CAT is chicken meal, made from real chicken with most of the water and fat removed.  Additionally, we then add chicken to enhance the flavor your cat loves! MAX® CAT never uses chicken heads, feet or intestines, which may be found in products containing chicken by-product meal.
 
Helps Maintain Healthy Weight

MAX® CAT Indoor Weight Control contains L-Carnitine to help your cat’s body burn fat. L-Carnitine combined with decreased levels of fat (vs. MAX® CAT Indoor Adult) helps keep less active cats at ideal weight.

 
The Natural Nutrition Difference
Highly digestible natural ingredients — fortified with essential vitamins, minerals and taurine — truly make the difference. MAX® CAT products are naturally preserved — no artificial chemicals like BHA, BHT or ethoxyquin. We do not add artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. MAX® CAT uses easy to digest ground whole wheat and ground rice; never any sorghum or ground corn, whole grain corn, corn meal or corn grits — which can be more difficult to digest.
 
Guaranteed Great Taste
Our quality ingredients, unique kibble shape and natural flavors guarantee love at first bite! In fact, we’re so sure your cat will love MAX® CAT that we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back!
 
MAX® Products Add Variety to Your Pet’s Diet
Does your cat enjoy wet food? MAX® CAT offers a variety of irresistible flavors. Looking for a special treat? Our Gourmet Kitty treats will delight your feline friend. And don’t forget NUTRO® MAX® Dog dry formulas, canned foods, moist pouches, and treats for the canine members of your pet family!
