Pros and cons

✓ Pros

  • Affordable for everyday feeding
  • Easy to store and serve
  • Crunch helps with dental health

✗ Cons

  • Lower moisture than wet food
  • Quality varies by brand

Feeding dry food daily doesn’t have to be expensive. Nutricare’s improved formula keeps nutrition solid while keeping the price practical.

What’s changed

The “improved formula” tag typically means updated protein ratios, better palatability, or cleaner ingredients, Nutricare responding to what cat owners actually want. A 1kg bag is a standard starter size, good for testing whether your cat takes to it before committing to a larger bag. The 4.9 rating with high Shopee sales volume suggests cats are eating it consistently.

Gastos

Around ₱113 as of July 1, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. For a 1kg improved-formula dry food that cats actually eat, that’s a strong value-to-nutrition ratio by Philippine market standards. One honest catch: Nutricare doesn’t publish a guaranteed analysis, so the exact protein and fat levels aren’t confirmed on the listing.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want a reliable everyday dry kibble at a budget-friendly price and want to try the improved formula before buying in bulk. See more on our Pet Supplies page.

Alternatives to consider

If your cat prefers fish, the Furlove oceanfish and chicken dry cat food is another 1kg bag at around ₱179 as of July 1, 2026. For a salmon-and-tuna recipe in the same size, the Petlicious salmon and tuna dry cat food runs around ₱121.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it okay for kittens?

No. This formula is listed for adult cats. Kittens need a kitten-specific kibble with higher protein and calories, so keep them on that until they're grown.

How long does a 1kg bag last?

For one adult cat eating dry-only, expect roughly two to three weeks depending on your cat's size and whether you also feed wet food. It's really a starter size for testing acceptance before buying bigger bags.

What's the actual protein content?

Nutricare doesn't publish a guaranteed analysis, so the exact protein and fat levels aren't confirmed on the listing. If that matters to you, ask the seller via Shopee chat or pick a brand that prints its panel.

Is dry food alone enough for my cat?

It can work, but kibble is low-moisture, so make sure fresh water is always available. Many owners mix in wet food a few times a week for hydration. At around ₱113 per kilo as of July 1, 2026, this leaves budget room for that.
