LEONARDO focuses on cat food. Its products should not be treated as interchangeable: Adult Duck is dry food containing grains, Adult GF Poultry uses amaranth instead of grains, and its wet pouches or tins contain substantially more moisture. To discuss the brand with verifiable details, this profile examines Adult Duck and compares Adult GF Poultry. “Duck” does not mean that duck is its only animal protein, a crucial detail if a cat must avoid other animal sources.

The published Adult Duck composition starts with fresh poultry meat 30%, dried duck protein 18%, rice and low-ash dried poultry protein 10%. Further down are potato starch, poultry fat, hydrolysed poultry liver, rye, egg, sea fish meal, krill, brewer's yeast and chia seeds. Thus the recipe contains other poultry as well as duck, plus fish, crustaceans and egg. For a veterinarian-supervised elimination diet, do not choose it from the animal named in its product title alone.

Read the first ingredient carefully: “fresh poultry meat 30%” is measured before drying, whereas the dried protein ingredient contains much less water. Adding those initial percentages does not directly reveal the final proportion of animal protein. Rice and rye show Adult Duck contains grains. The presence of krill and fish also does not prove the formula is right for every cat with a skin complaint; the label cannot establish a clinical indication. The manufacturer publishes the detailed formula so that you can check each source and the pack of the exact size offered. If the ingredients on a new batch differ from this profile, use the current label and ask the retailer to clarify before feeding it.

If you seek a grain-free LEONARDO option, Adult GF Poultry lists fresh poultry meat 30%, dried poultry protein 22% and amaranth 15%, followed by potato starch, pea flour and poultry fat. “Grain-free” means a particular ingredient group is absent; it does not mean carbohydrate-free or suitable for every elimination diet. GF Poultry also includes fish, krill and egg. Comparing the two ingredient lists helps you ask precise questions about your cat's tolerance without assuming that a marketing phrase establishes universal nutritional superiority.

For Adult GF Poultry the official analysis lists protein 32%, fat 18%, fibre 2.8% and moisture 10%. A dry food offers a different amount of water in the meal than a wet recipe. Fresh drinking water and overall intake matter, particularly for indoor cats. If you mix wet pouches with kibble, compare calories from both and adjust the total serving. The maker's feeding table separates neutered or indoor cats from highly active animals: it is a starting estimate, not a fixed prescription for every cat.

Introduce a new food gradually while monitoring appetite, stools and body weight. Persistent symptoms need veterinary attention. For a cat diagnosed with urinary or kidney disease, do not mistake a regular range's urinary pH marketing claim for a prescribed diet. See our indoor cat hydration guide and pet food dictionary.
