Ingredient Information

Feeding Instructions

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.

About Dr. Elsey’s

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.

Love the ingredients and low carbs, cats weren't big fans though

I really hoped my cats would love this food but they don't seem too crazy about it. They are slowly eating it, but still prefer their Blue Wilderness hairball formula

No veg. It's hard to find a kibble with no grain or veg ingredients but Dr. Elsy's did. It has some lab made products but it doesnt have high carb fillers. Overall

No veg. It's hard to find a kibble with no grain or veg ingredients but Dr. Elsy's did. It has some lab made products but it doesnt have high carb fillers. Overall I think it's worth it. The size of the kibble is small for cats and my girls enjoy all the flavors thus far

QUALITY CONTROL ISSUES...STILL!

EVERY TIME I purchase Dr. Elsey's Clean Protein kibble (turkey flavor), I never know what to expect when I open the bag. The size of the kibble usually varies from extremely tiny pieces to very irregular shapes and sizes. I am not talking about broken pieces either. The size of the kibble is how the product was manufactured. I have contacted the company on numerous occasions, but still, nothing changes. They continue to have quality control issues with this product. Not sure why they do not take consumer feedback seriously. It is very frustrating to pay top dollarfor a somewhat inferior product as far as uniformity of the kibble goes. I guess I should continue to contact the company and demand that they rectify the matter by providing a replacement bag every time an inferior one is originally received.

Cats love - low carb *NOTE* white on the food? it's a coating! not mold!

My vet recommended this food and the cats love it - i'm carefully watching weight and targeted a low carb diet. I opened a bag and saw white and assumed it was mold, chewy of course helped me return it! The second time it happened i started wondering and called the company... please do this! I sent a picture and they explained the process - they use a coating because of the low carbs that helps hold the kibble together - it was NOT mold! So relieved! Now i don't have to switch away from this food!

My 9 yr old cat loves it.

I use it as a topper. It’s pricier than what I have been buying, however, it’s a great appetite enhancer. Thanks for making a great product.

Generally our cats love this and the nutrition/ingredients are great. But weve had a few quality problems lately - a bag with a large tear so ants invaded it and our kitchen (chewy was very responsive & credited cost) and today, at the bottom of another bag we found mold on 50 or so kibbles, so had to trash the remainder. Hopefully both are unique occurrences not lessened QC. In general recommend for the high meat proteind and low cereal/carb content.

This is by far the best dry cat food on the market, as far as clean ingredients and extremely low carbohydrates (so rare for a dry cat food, even those touting "grain free"). This is a company with integrity, as well. When flax seed (used as a binder) was hard to come by a few years back, this company chose to use more egg to help with the binding vs. cheaper ingredients (like wheat gluten), as not to compromise the stellar nutitional profile. This cat foot is a bit more expensive, but the high quality and care is why. I'm so appreciateinve of Dr. Elsey's and that this rare dry cat food exists in the market place!

Too rich for my cats' tummies...

I was excited for this food due to the clean ingredients and high animal proteins, but I think the pork plasma was too rich for my kitties, as they both vomited

I was excited for this food due to the clean ingredients and high animal proteins, but I think the pork plasma was too rich for my kitties, as they both vomited it up within minutes after eating.
