How it differs from VIBRISSE MENU with ham
The brand has a similar flavour in the MENU line — chicken with ham in pumpkin sauce. It contains pumpkin, tomato, vegetable fats and tapioca, lists taurine and has 2% fat. This can is simpler: just chicken, ham, rice and water. For a cat with sensitive digestion a short recipe can be a plus, while for a cat on wet food only MENU is the better fit.
How to feed it
The cans work well as a tasty complement: one can a day alongside a complete dry food. Serve at room temperature and remove leftovers from the bowl after half an hour. Feeding schedules are in how many times a day to feed a cat.
If your cat cannot have fish
Many wet cat foods contain fish or fish broth even in "meat" flavours. There is no fish here: chicken is the only protein source. That is handy if your cat tolerates fish poorly or fish needs to be cut from the diet. A similar pouch option is VIBRISSE Jelly chicken fillet.
Storage
Cover an opened can and put it in the fridge — the food keeps for up to 48 hours. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Warm the portion to room temperature before serving.
Moisture and weight
The can is 85.5% water and contains almost no fat, so it adds fluid without raising the diet's calories. That suits neutered cats and overweight cats. More in how much water a cat should drink and food for neutered cats.
Who it suits
The cans suit adult cats that cannot have fish, fussy eaters and cats prone to weight gain — as a complement to the main food. They do not suit cats allergic to chicken. Other cans are in canned cat food.
Verdict
VIBRISSE chicken with ham is a simple steamed can: 57% chicken, 3% chicken ham, rice and water, 11% protein, 0.1% fat, with no fish, colours or preservatives. The downsides are no listed minerals, taurine or vitamins, almost no fat and no feeding amounts on the card.
