Summary

Naturea Barong – North Atlantic Salmon, Cats & Kittens All Breeds is a dry cat food formulated to meet the nutritional needs of cats at all life stages, including kittens and sterilized adults.
The primary ingredient is fresh deboned salmon, which provides a high-quality, easily digestible animal protein source rich in essential amino acids for muscle development and maintenance.
With a total of 75% salmon content—comprising fresh, dehydrated, and hydrolyzed forms—the formula delivers a concentrated source of marine-based protein and omega fatty acids.
The inclusion of fish oil and linseed contributes to a high omega-3 content (4.2%), which supports skin health, a shiny coat, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
At 32% crude protein and 18% fat, the food offers a nutrient-dense profile suitable for active cats and growing kittens, while also supporting energy needs and lean body mass.
Calcium (1.4%) and phosphorus (1%) are balanced to promote healthy bone development and dental health, with added benefits in reducing oral bacteria.
Natural antioxidants such as tocopherols, along with high levels of vitamin E (1000 mg/kg), vitamin A, and vitamin C, help protect cells from oxidative stress and support immune function.
Brewer’s yeast and added B vitamins contribute to healthy skin, coat, and nervous system function, while taurine (970 mg/kg) supports heart and eye health.
Functional ingredients like yucca schidigera may help reduce stool odor, and cranberries offer potential urinary tract support.
With a metabolizable energy of 3993 kcal/kg, the formula is energy-rich, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cats with varying activity levels.

Pros

3

Balanced mineral ratios

Calcium and phosphorus are proportioned to support bone health and dental hygiene.
4

6

Functional botanicals

Ingredients like cranberries and yucca schidigera provide added support for urinary health and odor control.
Cons
Expand All
1

High carbohydrate content

At 32.5%, the carbohydrate level is relatively elevated for a carnivorous species, which may not align with low-carb feeding preferences.
2

Use of dehydrated potato and potato protein

These plant-based ingredients increase starch content and offer limited nutritional value for obligate carnivores.
3

Moderate taurine level

Taurine at 970 mg/kg is adequate but lower than levels often targeted in premium formulas for cardiac and retinal support.
4

High fat content

At 18%, the fat level may be excessive for sedentary or overweight cats without portion control.
5

Not grain-free

Despite the absence of traditional grains, the inclusion of starchy vegetables may not suit cats with sensitivities to carbohydrates.
6

Elevated ash content

At 7.5%, the ash level may be a concern for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities.

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.
