--PURINA ONE--

"The beauty and behaviour of a cat is a true sign of her overall health. Feeding Purina One, you will see visible results on your cat's health and her outstanding body condition. Our nutritionists and vets have prepared a complete and balanced diet with a high quality and tasty ingredients your cat will love. Purina One is formulated to noticeably enhance your cat's health for today and tomorrow".

I normally feed my cats on IAMS as I have done since they were kittens. They started on Science Plan but seemed to prefer Iams when I tried them on it one day. It is nice to vary their diet every so often so when Purina brought out 'One', complete balanced dietary care I bought them a packet for them to try. All the information on the packaging looked promising and I felt sure that my babies would enjoy it.-


--PURINA ONE--

I was first attracted to the packet as it was in a bright shiny foil packagng in an eye catching shade of blue. Sitting at the top of the packet was a picture of a beautiful white pedigee cat looking extremely healthy, with a glossy coat and bright eyes and the words beside the picture which state, 'Strong immune system'. It seems to be the way these days with the growing popularity of the dried, complete cat food, that the makers concentrate on including ingredients that promote and support a strong immune system, healthy urinary tract and optimal digestion for our furry friends.-


--THE PURINA ONE PRDUCT--

The packet is re-sealable and by tearing the marked strip from the top, the packet snaps together to seal itself. The variety that I have chosen is Adult rich in 'Chicken and Rice' which is written within an a bright orange flash. The package weight is 300g and the price is £1.39 which I purchased from the Co-Op. The actual dried cat food is in the form of small hard nuggets which are pale brown in colouring. My cats like the action of crunching this food as opposed to the wet cat food which they lick and then eat easily. Crunching down the dried nuggets must be quite satisfying for the cat and exercises their jaw, gums and teeth. They seem to enjoy the crunchiness of the nuggets and make quite a racket whilst doing so.


--PURINA ONE--

The Purina One complete cat food promotes a strong immune system supported by a special blend of vitamins and antioxidants. It promotes a healthy urinary tract which is aided by balanced minerals. There is high nutrient absorption for optimal digestion which is promoted by superior quality ingredients. PURINA One provides total oral care for the cat, taking care of their teeth, gums and breath. Their active minerals in the crunchy morsels aids exercise to the cat's teeth and jaw. Purina One promotes healthy joints for easy mobility and a lean body. The fish oils and Omega 3 and 6, zinc and fatty acids in the Purina One maintain the cat's firmness and moisture of their skin also. All in all this is an excellent complete care food for your cats. Remember at all times that a bowl of clean cold water should be on hand for the cat to drink from.-


--FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS--

According to the instructions on the packet, the recommended daily amounts should be judged by the cat's physical condition, the cat's activity level and the weather. Though I am not too sure why the weather conditions should be taken into consideration when considering the portions; this food is targeted at a cat between the ages of 1-7 years old and is complete dietary care. There is no need for any additional supplements or vitamins to be added to their food. Purina One recommend that when switching your cat onto this food, that it should be introduced slowly into their current food, then gradually make Purina One their main diet and this process should be done over a period of 7-10 days. There is a weight chart on the packet which states how much you should feed a cat pertaining to its weight. For storage, this product should be kept in a dry, clean place.-

--SUMMARY--

As an alternative from the dearer Iams or Science Plan I feel that Purina One is an excellent cheaper option. My cats easily adapted to the different mix offered by Purina One and were quite happy to sample this food for a while. It is nice and crunchy and has a nice appetising aroma to it. I didn't go as far as sampling it;) But my cats let me know that they were impressed with its flavour and crunchy texture. They seemed quite taken with it and got quite excited when I came home with this blue bag again. They seemed to recognise it and circled around my legs wrapping their tails around them and purring loudly. High praise I think. So yes I would recommend Purina One. An excellent inexpensive complete cat food with lots of great heath promoting ingredients.-
