Vet Formulated with Quality Ingredients

This high-protein food naturally optimizes your cat’s body mass and appetite levels through simple, high-quality ingredients. With added vitamins, minerals, and other trace nutrients, cleanprotein helps support cats in all stages of life.

Dr. Elsey’s cleanprotein

Dr. Elsey’s cleanprotein was inspired by the protein levels found in natural prey. By excluding plants commonly found in other cat diets, it has low oxalate to help ensure healthy kidney function and an active lifestyle.

The Kibble Cats Love

Protein is an important nutritional profile in your cat’s diet, with animal proteins having the highest biological values (BV) compared to grains, fruits, and vegetables. Dr. Elsey’s cleanprotein helps promote a healthy, active lifestyle for all cats.

The Proof is in the Protein

As cats age, they absorb and metabolize protein less efficiently. That’s why it’s so important to feed high-quality protein. High protein can help maintain lean body mass and support a healthy immune system.

Dr. Elsey’s is a veterinarian-owned brand dedicated to meeting the complex needs of cats. Founded in 1987 with the first all-natural clumping cat litter, their line has since grown to include a variety of products for cats at every stage of life.

Questions & Answers

10 Customer Questions

What is the carbohydrate content?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 02, 2022
This recipe contains approximately 7.36% carbohydrates on an as-fed basis (approximately 8.56% carbohydrates on a dry matter basis).

I see this product is made in the U.S. Are the ingredients also sourced in the U.S.?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 08, 2018
Dr. Elsey's ingredients are carefully sourced and chosen based on quality. All proteins are sourced in the US. Dr. Elsey's tries to source as many ingredients from the United States, but many vitamins and minerals included in pet food aren’t manufactured in the US. While nearly 90% of their ingredients are from the US, they source others from Switzerland, Germany, France, China, Scotland and Canada. They are extremely careful with the selection of each vendor to ensure they stick to equal or greater manufacturing standards that we have here in the US.

What is the phosphorus content?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 03, 2022
This variety contains approximately 0.79% Phosphorus content on an as fed basis (0.92% on a dry matter basis).

How many cups are in a 6.6lb bag?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 23, 2020
There will be approximately 4 cups of kibble per pound. The 2 pound bag will have close to 8 cups and the 6.6 pound bag close to 26.4 cups.

Great kibble for diabetic cats

My cat was recently diagnosed with diabetis and I was told she should be on a high protein kibble. I switched to this one and she loves it!!!

No peas or carrots, etc...

My cat is allergic to cat food that doesn't contain anything but meat and nutrients, vitamins and such. Once they add peas, carrots, rice, etc it throws up. Since

My cat is allergic to cat food that doesn't contain anything but meat and nutrients, vitamins and such. Once they add peas, carrots, rice, etc it throws up. Since I've switched to this my Booboo kitty has held it down and is actually gaining some weight. Plus no surprises to step in when I wake up in the morning getting out of bed!

I have a cat with diabetes. It's been a struggle to find a low carb high protein food. Dr. Elsey's has shown noticeable results in our cat to the point to where the diabetes is managed and he no longer requires daily insulin. Definitely a fan. The quality is great and all my cats love it.

My cats didn’t care for it

They prefer the chicken samples I received in your cat litter. Didn’t care much for the pork, but nibbled a little more on the salmon flavor more often.

Great ingredients but cat doesn't like it

My cat was newly diagnosed diabetic and this is one of the few low carb hard foods out there. The nutrition and ingredients are great but sadly my cat won't eat

My cat was newly diagnosed diabetic and this is one of the few low carb hard foods out there. The nutrition and ingredients are great but sadly my cat won't eat it. After 4 days of trying we cut our losses and onto trying to find another kibble to feed alongside her wet food. Still gave a three because I think it is a high quality food, but my girl didn't like it.

high protein, low ingredient

My cat loves it--I wish he didn't. I read in the reviews about the stinky poop, and I thought it can't be that bad, so we tried it... My cat's farts alone will run

My cat loves it--I wish he didn't. I read in the reviews about the stinky poop, and I thought it can't be that bad, so we tried it... My cat's farts alone will run my husband and I out the house for a solid 30 minutes. They are something special! I've tried the rabbit and the salmon. I will keep buying it, because he is mostly an outdoor cat, so I don't have to live with the smell full time.

Supposedly The Salmon With The Mostest

Thought the kitties would act like little savages while devouring this much sought-after kibble, but, no, they took it in their stride, like not even a prized Dr. Elsey's product, so I shall not be reluctant to bring out another new brand of salmon kibble I've had tucked away when this is gone.
