Purizon
Original Grain-Free Duck with Fish
Summary
Purizon Original Grain-Free Duck with Fish is a high-protein, grain-free dry food formulated as a complete diet for adult cats of all breeds, emphasizing animal-sourced nutrition and digestive support.
Its first ingredient, Fresh Duck Meat (26%), provides highly digestible animal protein as the primary building block for maintaining lean muscle.
Additional duck and herring proteins raise the amino acid density, while salmon oil (1%) supplies marine omega-3s that support skin, coat, and a healthy inflammatory balance.
At 43% crude protein and 20% fat, the recipe is energy-dense and suited to active cats or those that thrive on higher-calorie nutrition.
A mineral profile with calcium at 1.2% and phosphorus at 1.0% supports bones and teeth with an appropriate Ca:P balance for adult maintenance.
L-methionine (5000 mg) is included to help maintain a favorable urinary pH, reducing the likelihood of struvite crystal formation.
Taurine (2000 mg) supports heart function and vision, while vitamin E (750 IU) and vitamin A (18,000 IU) contribute antioxidant and ocular health.
MOS and FOS prebiotics, together with pumpkin, apple pulp, carrots, spinach, and psyllium (0.3%), offer fermentable fibers that aid digestion and support normal stool quality.
Chelated trace minerals (zinc, manganese, iron, copper) may improve mineral absorption compared with standard inorganic forms.
The formula is grain-free and relies on peas, pea flour, and pea protein for carbohydrates and some plant-derived protein, complementing the animal proteins from duck and fish.

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.
