Brit Premium Cat Sterilised, 1.5 kg is a premium dry food for spayed and neutered cats from the Brit Premium by Nature line. The main ingredient is chicken (32%), with chicken liver sauce added for flavour. It's high in protein, moderate in fat and very low in magnesium, and contains L-carnitine, prebiotics and yucca extract. It's a good example of a solid everyday food for neutered cats: a clear ingredient list with figures and sensible calories.
What matters for a neutered cat
After surgery, metabolism slows down and appetite often increases. The food should be lower in fat yet satisfying so the cat doesn't gain weight, and it should support urinary health — neutered cats have a higher risk of urinary stones.

How to feed
It's a complete food, given as the main diet. Choose the daily portion from the table on the bag and your cat's weight; it's better to weigh it than to measure by eye, as an extra 10–15 g a day quickly turns into extra weight in a neutered cat. Split it into 2–4 meals. Fresh water is a must: drinking matters more than any urinary formula — see how much water a cat should drink.
Preventing weight gain and urinary stones
Weigh your cat once a month, play with it every day and count treats in the daily allowance — tips in excess weight in cats and dogs. If your cat drinks little, add wet food to the diet. Signs and prevention of stones are covered in urinary stones in cats.
Who it suits
Adult spayed and neutered cats without food allergies that need a balanced food with a clear ingredient list. For comparison: the grain-free 1st Choice Sterilised or the super-premium Brit Care Cat Sterilised Urinary Health. More foods are in the dry cat food section.
