Two Evie Dry Cat Foods with Different Jobs
Evie makes two grain-free dry cat foods that look similar — small heart-shaped kibble, UK-made, 1.5 kg and 5 kg bags — but they are formulated for different cats. One is built for sterilised, indoor, or weight-conscious adults. The other targets skin, coat, and hairball trouble. Choosing between them depends on your cat's current condition and what you want the food to do.
Protein and Fat at a Glance
-
Evie Adult Chicken, Tuna & Salmon: 70% chicken, tuna and salmon; crude protein 44%; crude fat 11.5%; metabolisable energy 370 kcal/100g. Higher protein and lower fat suit cats that need to maintain muscle while managing weight. The recipe includes L-carnitine to support fat metabolism.

Evie Skin, Coat & Hairball Care: Primary protein is hydrolysed salmon; crude protein 28%; crude fat 16.5%; metabolisable energy 383 kcal/100g. Lower protein, higher fat, and hydrolysed salmon peptides are easier to digest and less likely to trigger skin reactions. Fatty acid spectrum (EPA, DHA, GLA) supports skin barrier and coat condition.

What Each Recipe Is Designed to Address
- Evie Adult Chicken, Tuna & Salmon: Formulated for sterilised and neutered cats whose appetite increases and activity decreases. Lower fat (11.5%) and added L-carnitine help manage body composition. Joint support (glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM), prebiotics (FOS, MOS), fibre for hairballs (beet pulp, cellulose), and urinary tract support (cranberry, balanced minerals).
- Evie Skin, Coat & Hairball Care: Formulated for cats with dull coat, dry skin, excessive shedding, or recurring hairballs. Hydrolysed salmon peptides reduce immune-related skin issues. Collagen (3.6%) supports skin structure. Multiple omega sources (salmon oil, algae, borage, soya) improve coat softness and reduce inflammation. Fibre from beet pulp and cellulose helps hairballs pass through.
Which Cat Needs Which Food?
If your cat is sterilised, indoor-only, senior, or has been told to watch its weight, the Adult Chicken, Tuna & Salmon formula is the closer match. Its 44% protein and 11.5% fat support lean body mass without excess calories. The added joint and urinary ingredients are bonuses for older cats.
If your cat has dry, flaky skin, a patchy or greasy coat, or keeps bringing up hairballs, the Skin, Coat & Hairball Care formula addresses those directly. The hydrolysed salmon is the key difference — smaller peptides are absorbed efficiently and less likely to cause dermatological reactions. The 16.5% fat provides the fatty acids needed for skin repair and a glossy coat.
Both foods are grain-free and use natural fibre sources. Neither is a medical treatment; they are complete, balanced dry foods designed to support specific body systems. If your cat has both weight and coat issues, consider which problem is more urgent and talk to your vet.
What the Supplied Information Does Not Confirm
- Evie Adult Chicken, Tuna & Salmon: The record states this food is developed with sterilised and neutered cats in mind, but does not specify a target age range or confirm suitability for kittens. Kittens have different nutritional needs. This food is described as adult cat food, but the catalog does not give a minimum age or life stage label.
- Evie Skin, Coat & Hairball Care: The record mentions a feeding trial where 95% of owners saw coat improvement, but does not specify the trial duration, number of cats, or control conditions. The claim is owner-reported and not a controlled clinical study. Results may vary between cats.
