Ingredients
Purina(r) gastroenteric wet cat food is designed with science-based recipes crafted by an international network of scientists, veterinarians and nutritionists. Every ingredient is rigorously tested to guarantee it meets the highest quality standards.
This diet is tailored to nutritional management of gastrointestinal tract issues, being energy dense to reduce stress on the gut and maintain proper pH balance, thus decreasing struvite and calcium oxalate crystal formation in cats.
Let’s begin with the ingredients. This cat food begins with chicken by-products, which are dry, ground up parts of poultry carcasses that have been rendered clean.
The next ingredient is ocean whitefish, a source of both protein and fat. However, it should be noted that ocean whitefish has a relatively high water content (more than 60%), so other meat sources must be combined with it in order to provide your cat with enough protein. Finally, sweet potato is used as the top ingredient – an easily digestible carbohydrate source free from gluten.

Preparation
Purina En Gastroenteric Wet Cat Food has been specifically designed with high-protein ingredients to meet the special dietary needs of cats with gastrointestinal conditions. This formula was created in collaboration with nutritionists, researchers and veterinarians to offer great-tasting food that’s energy dense for maximum digestion and nutrient absorption.
This product contains poultry by-products, which are dried ground parts of chicken, turkey and duck carcasses that have been cleaned. While this type of ingredient can provide some quality protein sources like chicken, turkey or duck meat, it should not be the primary source for calories in your cat’s diet.
As a general guideline, poultry by-products are not an essential nutrient but they can add bulk and texture to the final product. Furthermore, this formula also contains fish oil and soy protein isolate which may cause allergic reactions in some cats; hence they should not be the main source of calories in your pet’s diet.
Storage
Purina(r) gastroenteric wet cat food should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it in plastic containers such as garbage cans, zip-top bags or kitchen containers since these contain chemicals, bacteria and fungal mycotoxins which could harm your cat.
