Summary

Harringtons Complete Indoor Chicken Dry Cat Food is a dry formula tailored for indoor adult cats, focusing on weight control, digestibility, and hairball management through a meat-rich, fiber-enhanced recipe.
The primary ingredient is chicken and meat meals, including freshly prepared chicken, dried chicken meal, and meat meal, which together contribute 33% of the formula and serve as a highly digestible, animal-based protein source to support lean muscle maintenance.
With a total crude protein content of 30.5%, the food provides sufficient amino acids for muscle repair and overall feline health, while the reduced fat content of 9% supports healthy weight maintenance in less active indoor cats.
The inclusion of plant fibers and beet pulp helps manage hairball formation by promoting gastrointestinal transit and reducing hair accumulation in the digestive tract.
Wholegrain rice, oats, and maize provide digestible carbohydrates and dietary fiber, contributing to energy supply and digestive regularity, though they also increase the carbohydrate load.
Salmon oil and chicken fat supply essential fatty acids, with omega-3 at 0.5% and omega-6 at 1.9%, supporting skin health, coat condition, and anti-inflammatory balance.
Added taurine at 750 mg/kg supports heart function and vision, though the level is on the lower end of the recommended range for adult cats.
Vitamins A (20,000 IU/kg), D3 (1,800 IU/kg), and E (150 IU/kg) contribute to immune function, bone health, and antioxidant protection.
Natural antioxidants from tocopherol-rich extracts help preserve freshness and provide additional oxidative stress protection.
Yucca extract and dried chicory root (inulin) support digestive health and may help reduce litter box odor through prebiotic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Cons
Expand All
1

High ash content

At 9%, the ash level is elevated, which may be a concern for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities.
2

Low taurine level

Taurine at 750 mg/kg is on the lower end of the optimal range for adult cats, especially for those with higher cardiovascular needs.
3

Use of plant-based fillers

Ingredients like ground maize and maize protein increase carbohydrate content, which may not align with a carnivorous feline diet.
4

Lack of detailed mineral profile

Absence of declared phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium levels limits assessment of urinary health suitability.
5

Limited omega-3 content

At 0.5%, omega-3 levels are modest and may not provide robust anti-inflammatory or cognitive support benefits.

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
