Original answer

Short answer — many Australian-available cat food brands offer formulas where a named animal protein (e.g., chicken, beef, fish) appears as the first ingredient. Examples (with product-page evidence):

  • Black Hawk — many Black Hawk cat formulas list meat (chicken/poultry) or meat meal first. (blackhawkpetcare.com)
  • Ivory Coat — Ivory Coat’s cat ranges state “meat #1 ingredient” and list chicken/dehydrated poultry first on specific formulas. (ivorycoat.com.au)
  • Applaws — Applaws dry and wet cat recipes show chicken / chicken meal or chicken breast as the top ingredient on several flavours. (applaws.com.au)
  • ORIJEN — ORIJEN cat recipes use fresh poultry/fish as the first ingredients (e.g., “Chicken, turkey, whole herring…”). (shop.vivapets.com)
  • Purina Pro Plan (selected formulas) — some Pro Plan cat formulas explicitly state “real chicken as the #1 ingredient” (check the specific product). (purina.com.au)
  • Hill’s Science Diet (selected formulas) — many Science Diet wet and some dry recipes list chicken (or other meat) first. (hillspet.com.au)
  • Advance (Advance Pet / Mars) — several Advance cat products list chicken or chicken meal / “meat (chicken &/or turkey &/or duck)” as the first ingredient. (petfood.advancepet.com.au)

A couple of important notes:

  • “First ingredient” varies by formula (dry vs wet, flavour, life stage). A brand may have some formulas with meat first and others that start with grains or meals — always check the ingredient list for the exact product you’re considering.
  • “Chicken” vs “chicken meal”: both are animal protein sources. “Chicken meal” (rendered, dried chicken) is concentrated protein and commonly used in dry foods; it is still derived from chicken but is different from fresh/chilled chicken in moisture and nutrient concentration. (Sources: Purina, Pet Food Australia). (purina.com)

If you’d like, tell me one or two specific products or flavours and I’ll check the current ingredient list and confirm whether a named meat is listed first.
