Summary
Farmina Vet Life Struvite is a veterinary-formulated dry cat food designed specifically to dissolve struvite urinary crystals and support urinary tract health in adult cats.
The first listed ingredient is corn gluten, a plant-based protein concentrate that contributes to the overall protein content but is less biologically complete than animal-based proteins.
Dehydrated chicken protein, hydrolyzed fish protein, and dehydrated fish protein provide high-quality, animal-derived amino acids that support muscle maintenance and overall health.
DL-methionine (7000 mg/kg) and calcium sulfate dihydrate (5000 mg/kg) are included as urine acidifiers to help lower urinary pH, which is essential for dissolving existing struvite stones and preventing recurrence.
With a magnesium content of just 0.06%, the formula minimizes one of the key minerals involved in struvite crystal formation, supporting long-term urinary tract health.
The food contains 34% crude protein and 16% fat, offering a nutrient-dense profile that supports energy needs while maintaining lean body mass.
Omega-3 (0.4%) and omega-6 (3.1%) fatty acids, including EPA (0.10%) and DHA (0.15%), contribute to anti-inflammatory support and promote healthy skin and coat.
Added L-carnitine (250 mg/kg) supports fat metabolism and may assist in maintaining a healthy weight, which is important for urinary health.
The inclusion of inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides provides prebiotic support for gut health, which can enhance nutrient absorption and immune function.
High levels of vitamin E (550 mg/kg), vitamin C (250 mg/kg), and selenium from selenized yeast offer antioxidant protection, helping to reduce oxidative stress and support immune resilience.

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.
