HIMALAYA ADULT TUNA & CHIC DRY FOOD (L)
Out of Stock
Himalaya Healthy CAT Food Adult - Tuna and Chicken by Himalaya Wellness Company is a complete and balanced dry kibble formulated to address three of the most persistent health challenges faced by adult cats in Indian homes: hairball formation, digestive disturbance, and progressive kidney stress. Positioned at the intersection of modern feline nutritional science and India's Ayurvedic herbal heritage, this formula uniquely combines animal-derived proteins from tuna and chicken with a targeted herbal blend of Gokshura, Pineapple, and Oats to deliver comprehensive maintenance nutrition for adult cats aged eight months and above. The diet follows the nutritional recommendations of AAFCO and BIS standards, making it one of the few Made-in-India cat foods to meet internationally recognised benchmarks for complete feline nutrition. Animeal is proud to offer Himalaya Healthy CAT Food Adult - Tuna and Chicken as part of our carefully curated selection of trusted, science-backed feline nutrition.
Ingredients:
Tuna (Thunnus spp.): Tuna serves as the primary high-value marine protein in this formula, delivering a rich supply of complete amino acids including taurine, an essential amino acid that cats cannot synthesise endogenously in sufficient quantities. Taurine is critical for retinal photoreceptor function, myocardial contractility, and bile acid conjugation. Tuna also contributes a naturally occurring source of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that support neurological function, skin lipid barrier integrity, and systemic anti-inflammatory pathways at the cellular level.
Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus): Chicken provides a complementary lean animal protein matrix that amplifies the amino acid density of the formula, particularly leucine, lysine, and methionine. Adequate dietary methionine is essential in cats for urinary acidification and the prevention of struvite crystal formation. The chicken fraction also contributes arachidonic acid (ARA), an Omega-6 fatty acid that cats cannot synthesise and must obtain through diet, which plays a key role in inflammatory signalling, reproductive health, and skin barrier restoration.
Chicken Liver: Chicken liver delivers a concentrated source of retinol (preformed Vitamin A), haem iron, Vitamin B12, and folic acid. In cats, dietary preformed Vitamin A is essential because felines lack the enzyme required to convert beta-carotene from plant sources into active retinol. Liver therefore provides a critically bioavailable form of this vitamin that directly supports epithelial tissue integrity, mucosal barrier health across the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, and visual function in low-light conditions.
Rice (Oryza sativa): A highly digestible complex carbohydrate that provides sustained energy release via gluconeogenic pathways, supporting the activity levels and lean body mass maintenance of adult indoor and outdoor cats. Rice is one of the most gastrointestinally gentle cereal grains available and is particularly well tolerated by cats with sensitive digestive systems.
Corn (Zea mays): Provides a source of complex carbohydrates, linoleic acid (Omega-6), and naturally occurring beta-carotene and vitamin precursors. In a complete and balanced formula, corn functions as an energy substrate that spares dietary protein for essential tissue maintenance functions rather than caloric fuel conversion.
Fish Oil: A concentrated source of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These fatty acids are incorporated directly into phospholipid bilayers throughout the body, modulating prostaglandin and leukotriene production to reduce chronic low-grade inflammation, reinforce the dermal lipid barrier for coat gloss, and support cognitive function and visual acuity in adult cats.
Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids (supplemental): The supplemental inclusion of both Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in a precisely calibrated ratio ensures your feline friend receives the correct balance of these essential lipids. The Omega-6 arachidonic acid fraction supports skin renewal and reproduction, while the Omega-3 fraction counterbalances inflammatory responses, together maintaining coat lustre, reducing dry flakiness, and supporting your feline friend's dermal and immune resilience throughout adult life.
Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris): An Ayurvedic herb with over two millennia of documented medicinal use, Gokshura contains active saponins including protodioscin and tribulosin that exert nephroprotective and diuretic actions at the renal tubular level. In cats, which are biologically predisposed to chronic renal stress due to their high-protein metabolism and concentrated urine production, Gokshura actively supports normal glomerular filtration and tubular fluid balance, helping to maintain healthy kidney function over the long term.
Pineapple (Ananas comosus) source of Bromelain: Pineapple is included as a natural source of bromelain, a cysteine protease enzyme complex that actively cleaves protein peptide bonds within the gastrointestinal tract. At the digestive physiological level, bromelain enhances the breakdown of dietary proteins from tuna, chicken, and liver into absorbable peptides and free amino acids, improving overall protein digestibility, reducing digestive burden, and supporting the health of the intestinal mucosa.
Oats (Avena sativa) source of Dietary Fibre: Oats provide soluble and insoluble dietary fibre, including beta-glucans and cellulose fractions. In the context of feline hairball management, the insoluble fibre fraction acts as a mechanical intestinal brush, accelerating the transit of ingested hair through the gastrointestinal tract before it can compact into obstructive hairballs in the stomach or intestine. The soluble fibre fraction additionally supports prebiotic fermentation by Lactobacillus species, producing short-chain fatty acids that nourish colonocytes and reinforce the gut mucosal barrier.
Vitamins and Minerals Complex: A comprehensive supplemental vitamin and mineral profile including Fat-Soluble Vitamins (A, D, E, K) and B-Complex Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12) alongside essential macro and trace minerals (calcium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, iron, copper, manganese, selenium, iodine). Together these cofactors support enzyme catalysis, immune cell production, bone mineralisation, haematopoiesis, and antioxidant defence at the systemic level, ensuring your feline friend's metabolic pathways operate at full capacity through every year of adult life.
Antioxidants: Approved antioxidant compounds incorporated into the formula protect the fat-soluble vitamin fraction and the Omega-rich lipid components from oxidative degradation throughout the product's shelf life, preserving both nutritional potency and sensory quality from the time of manufacture to the moment of serving.
