Silver is Tiki Cat’s line made especially for cats ages 11 and up. It consists of six wet recipes, one dry recipe, and one meal topper. All recipes are made with high-quality proteins such as chicken, tuna, mackerel, salmon, and/or duck to maintain weight and muscle mass, and are low in phosphorus to support kidney health. 

They also contain ingredients such as pumpkin to aid in digestion, turmeric and green tea extract to help fight inflammation, chicken or duck liver to increase appetite, and vitamins to support the immune system.

Dr. Georgia Jeremiah, pet nutrition expert and one of Wag!’s veterinary consultants, says, “Tiki Cat cat food is known for high-quality, human-grade ingredients, focusing on natural, whole foods, rich animal proteins, limited ingredient options for sensitive cats, grain-free, low-carb recipes, and palatable flavors for picky eaters.”

“Weruva cat food offers a variety of recipes and flavors suitable for different life stages and palates, always ensuring high-protein, real-meat ingredients without grains, gluten, or non-nutritive thickeners such as carrageenan. They are committed to quality and their formulations exclude antibiotics, hormones, and artificial additives, while also providing a low-phosphorus, high-protein prescription diet option with high moisture content to cater to specific medical needs," says Dr. Jeremiah.

While Weruva doesn’t have any senior-specific products, it does offer dozens of wet foods that are suitable for all life stages, including the golden years. 

From its classic recipes to its low-phosphorus formulas, Weruva cat foods are made with premium proteins like chicken, salmon, tuna, turkey, and beef, with a few containing veggies such as pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots, and peas as well.

Additionally, Weruva recipes are high in moisture which can be helpful for cats with renal or urinary tract issues, and come in various textures that are suitable for delicate teeth and gums. 

Raised Right makes home-cooked style, human-grade cat food that’s high in protein and low in carbohydrates. Though there are no senior-specific recipes, Raised Right’s offerings are suitable for all adult cats and are a great choice for pet parents who want to feed their kitties fresh food. 

Crafted with a veterinarian and pet food formulation expert, each whole food recipe contains a single source of animal protein (chicken or turkey) and other healthy ingredients such as carrots, blueberries, flaxseed oil, cod liver oil, and kelp.

“Raised Right cat food offers a whole-food diet with real meat as the initial ingredient, ensuring a high-protein meal. Including organ meats for vital nutrients and antioxidants, their recipes often feature limited ingredients for simplicity and digestibility. Notably, they exclude grains, potatoes, and preservatives while prioritizing safety with batch testing and traceable ingredients," noted Dr. Georgia Jeremiah.

Open Farm may not have any senior-specific recipes, but it does offer a variety of products for all life stages. Options for older felines include high-meat, low-carb dry foods; 100% human-grade wet foods; freeze-dried raw recipes and freeze-dried raw blends; and collagen-rich bone broth meal toppers. 

Regardless of format, all Open Farm recipes are made with sustainable and ethically sourced ingredients; premium proteins such as chicken, turkey, salmon, lamb, and beef are paired with non-GMO fruits and veggies like chickpeas, pumpkin, cranberries, apples, and spinach to help cats thrive. 

Dr. Jeremiah notes, “Open Farm offers grain-free, high-quality protein diets using human-grade wet ingredients. Their sourcing emphasizes ethical practices and humanely raised meats, whilst their non-GMO, antibiotic and hormone-free recipes with freeze-dried raw and wet options provide a tasty and nutritious alternative to most commercial diets.”

“Nulo is known for its high-quality, animal-based protein recipes and offers low-carb, grain-free options that are free from artificial additives and fillers. Rich in essential amino acids, it supports lean muscle development and is specially formulated to meet the unique nutritional needs of cats," says Dr. Jeremiah.

Nulo offers two dry food recipes for senior cats, both of which are high in animal-based protein to provide the ideal amino acid profile. They feature deboned turkey or pollock as the first ingredient, followed by chicken meal, turkey meal, yellow peas, and green lentils. 

Both grain-free and low-carb recipes also contain L-carnitine for fat metabolism, vitamin A and taurine for clear vision, antioxidants for cellular health, omega-3 and omega-6 for a beautiful coat, and patented probiotics for digestive and immune health.
