Chicken Kitten Dry Cat Food (UK)
Summary
Applaws Chicken Kitten Dry Cat Food (UK) is a grain-free, complete and balanced dry diet formulated to support healthy growth and digestive comfort in kittens.
The first ingredient is chicken at 49% (predominantly chicken meal), providing concentrated, highly digestible animal protein, and the brand states the recipe uses a minimum 80% animal protein.
With 38% crude protein and 17% fat at 4075 kcal/kg, the recipe delivers energy-dense nutrition appropriate for kittens’ rapid growth and high activity.
Calcium at 1.3% and phosphorus at 1.0% give an approximate Ca:P ratio of 1.3:1, supporting proper bone mineralization and tooth development.
Poultry fat and salmon oil supply essential fatty acids, with omega-6 at 3.9% and omega-3 at 0.6% to support skin and coat condition and a healthy inflammatory balance.
Beet pulp and 0.2% chicory extract (a source of prebiotic FOS) provide fermentable fibers that help maintain regular stools and nourish beneficial gut bacteria.
Egg powder offers a highly digestible supplementary protein source that complements chicken’s amino acid profile for balanced growth.
Dried brewer’s yeast and yucca schidigera extract are included as functional ingredients commonly used to support digestive comfort and help reduce stool odor.
Added taurine (1000 mg) and DL-methionine (250 mg) bolster essential sulfur amino acids for heart and vision support and help maintain appropriate urinary pH.
Seaweed and cranberry powder contribute natural phytonutrients and trace minerals, while vitamin E at 640 mg provides antioxidant protection during development.

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.
