What this means for the bowl
Harringtons Complete Adult Salmon is on the lighter side: at 3,760 kcal per kg it has less energy than 79% of the 20 dry cat foods in our list, so the bowl will look fuller for the same calories.
To show how much the food matters: a 4.5 kg spayed or neutered cat needs about 260 kcal a day. That is 69 g of this food, but 61 g of Purina Pro Plan Kitten Healthy Start Chicken and 73 g of Hill's Science Plan Sterilised Adult with Chicken. Same cat, same day, very different scoops.
