What sets Avant Furst apart from everyday cat foods is its commitment to palatability backed by data: an independent 8-week study conducted with 50 adult cats demonstrated that an impressive 94% of participants fully consumed their daily food allotment, reflecting exceptional acceptance even among notoriously selective feline palates. The formula delivers complete nourishment through a thoughtfully selected blend of high-quality animal protein sources, digestible carbohydrates, omega-fatty acids from marine fish oil, urinary-support botanicals, and a full spectrum of essential micronutrients everything your cat needs in every single bowl. With Avant Furst, you can trust that you are offering your furry companion the very best in adult cat nutrition
Ingredients:
- Tuna Meal: The star ingredient and primary protein source of this formula. Tuna meal is a concentrated, dried form of tuna flesh that delivers high biological-value protein, essential amino acids, and naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids. It is rich in EPA and DHA, which support cardiovascular function, joint health, and cognitive performance. With a minimum crude protein content of 30%, this formula ensures that adult cats receive the amino acid building blocks they need to sustain lean muscle mass, support metabolic processes, and maintain daily vitality.
- Soybean Meal: A plant-based complementary protein source that supplements the amino acid profile of the formula. Soybean meal provides lysine and other essential amino acids, helping to optimise the overall protein matrix of the diet. It also contributes to the kibble's structural integrity and energy density.
- Cassava: A highly digestible, grain-free starchy carbohydrate derived from the cassava root. Cassava provides a sustained and gentle release of energy, making it an excellent choice for adult cats that may have grain sensitivities. It supports steady metabolic energy without causing sharp blood glucose fluctuations, contributing to consistent activity levels throughout the day.
- Corn: A source of easily digestible carbohydrates and an additional energy substrate for active adult cats. Corn also provides naturally occurring carotenoids and linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) that contribute to coat health and skin barrier function.
- Poultry Meal: A concentrated source of high-quality animal protein derived from clean poultry tissue. Poultry meal is rich in essential amino acids particularly arginine, which cats require in higher amounts than most other mammals and supports the maintenance of lean body muscle mass, organ health, and immune system integrity.
- Corn Gluten Meal: A protein-dense fraction derived from corn processing, corn gluten meal provides additional digestible protein and contributes to the formula's amino acid completeness. It also acts as a binding agent, improving kibble texture and durability during manufacturing.
- Wheat Bran: A source of dietary fibre that supports healthy gut motility, promotes regular bowel movements, and feeds beneficial gut flora. Wheat bran helps regulate transit time in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing the likelihood of constipation or irregular digestion in indoor cats.
- Cat Palatant: A specially formulated flavour-enhancement additive designed to make the kibble irresistible to cats. Cat palatants mimic the taste signals cats seek in prey-based foods, ensuring high acceptance rates and consistent meal completion even in fussy, picky eaters.
- Poultry Fat: A concentrated source of dietary fat that provides essential fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins, and a highly palatable energy-dense component. Poultry fat supports healthy coat condition, skin suppleness, and provides the caloric density necessary for active adult cats to maintain an ideal body weight.
- Marine Fish Oil: Cold-pressed from deep-sea fish, marine fish oil is the primary source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in this formula. These long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids play a critical role in maintaining a healthy skin barrier, promoting a lustrous coat, reducing systemic inflammation, and supporting cognitive function and cardiac health in adult cats.
- Salmon Hydrolysate: A highly bioavailable protein and flavour-enhancing hydrolysate derived from salmon. Salmon hydrolysate provides pre-digested peptides that are rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, contributing to both the nutritional completeness of the formula and its exceptional palatability profile.
- Choline Chloride: An essential nutrient that supports fat metabolism in the liver, preventing abnormal accumulation of hepatic lipids. Choline chloride also plays a structural role in cell membranes and is vital for the proper function of the nervous system, including neurotransmitter synthesis.
- Taurine: An indispensable conditionally essential amino acid for cats. Unlike dogs, cats cannot synthesise adequate taurine from dietary methionine and cysteine, making dietary supplementation absolutely critical. Taurine is essential for normal cardiac contractility (prevention of dilated cardiomyopathy), retinal photoreceptor health (prevention of feline central retinal degeneration), bile acid conjugation, and reproductive success. Avant Furst's inclusion of taurine reflects its commitment to feline-specific nutritional science.
- L-Lysine: An essential amino acid that serves as a critical building block for protein synthesis, collagen production, and immune cell proliferation. L-Lysine also has antiviral properties and supports recovery from illness, making it particularly beneficial for cats that live in multi-cat households or high-exposure environments.
- Methionine: A sulphur-containing essential amino acid that supports the biosynthesis of keratin the structural protein that forms the coat and claws as well as the methylation cycles necessary for healthy cell division. Methionine also contributes to urinary health by helping to acidify the urine, thereby reducing the risk of struvite crystal formation.
- Beta-Glucan: A soluble dietary fibre and prebiotic compound derived from yeast cell walls. Beta-glucan stimulates the innate immune system by activating macrophages and natural killer cells, enhancing the cat's first-line defence against pathogens. It also acts as a prebiotic, selectively nourishing beneficial gut bacteria and improving the microbiome diversity associated with optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Organic Acid: Included as a natural preservative and digestive health support agent. Organic acids help maintain an optimal pH environment in the digestive tract, suppressing the growth of pathogenic bacteria while supporting the survival of beneficial probiotic flora.
- Cranberry Extract: A botanical with well-documented benefits for urinary tract health in cats. Cranberry contains proanthocyanidins (PACs) that prevent the adhesion of uropathogenic bacteria (particularly E. coli) to the epithelial lining of the bladder and urethra. This mechanism of action reduces the frequency of urinary tract infections and supports the long-term health of the feline lower urinary tract a particularly important consideration for adult domestic cats prone to FLUTD.
- Vitamins (A, D3, E, K3, B1, B2, B6, B12, Pantothenic Acid, Nicotinic Acid, Folic Acid, Biotin): A complete vitamin complex supporting immunity (Vitamin A, E), calcium and phosphorus metabolism and bone density (Vitamin D3), coagulation cascade function (Vitamin K3), energy metabolism from macronutrients (B-complex), red blood cell synthesis (B12, Folic Acid), and healthy skin and coat (Biotin).
- Minerals (Iron, Copper, Manganese, Zinc, Iodine, Selenium): A full trace mineral profile supporting oxygen transport in red blood cells (Iron), enzymatic reactions and antioxidant defence (Copper, Manganese, Zinc, Selenium), thyroid hormone synthesis and metabolic regulation (Iodine), and immune system competence.
- Preservatives with Vitamin C and E: Natural antioxidant preservatives that extend the shelf life of the kibble by neutralising free radicals and preventing oxidative rancidity of dietary fats, ensuring that every bag of Avant Furst delivers fresh, nutritionally intact food from first use to last.
