Purina Cat Chow Indoor Dry Is It Safe? Food Review

Welcome to this Purina Cat Chow Indoor Dry Food Review. Specifically for hairball and weight control. It does its advertised job. Reviews on the Amazon page state that their cats no longer produce hairballs. Furthermore, most people say that their cats like this food. But be warned there is a large amount of grains in this food. Which will not be suitable for cats who can’t have them. The food contains no artificial flavors and tastes like chicken.

Purina Chow is relatively safe compared to other cat foods. Most budget-friendly cat food options will have drawbacks. That being said this cat food is safe in my opinion as there has never been a recall for this cat food specifically. Furthermore, it is good for certain things for your cat as long as it does not have conditions affecting its diet. It’s important to consult a vet about changing your pet’s diet.
