Summary

Avantis Pure – Sterilized Cat is a dry food for adult sterilized cats, intended for indoor and outdoor lifestyles and built around everyday weight management after neutering.

Its first ingredient is dehydrated chicken protein, making chicken the clear primary protein source and giving the recipe a more animal-centered amino acid base for muscle maintenance.

A combination of 33% crude protein and 11% crude fat fits the needs of many sterilized adults that benefit from controlled energy intake without cutting protein too low.

Added L-carnitine at 70 mg/kg strengthens that focus by supporting fat utilization, which can help maintain a leaner body condition.

The 4% crude fiber level, supported by beet pulp and cellulose, can help promote satiety and more regular stool quality in cats that tend to be less active after sterilization.

Yeasts alongside MOS and chicory-derived FOS, both included at 0.05%, provide fermentable support for beneficial gut bacteria and may help digestion stay more stable over time.

Taurine at 1,500 mg/kg supports normal heart and eye function, while omega-3 at 0.4% contributes to skin and coat support.

Yucca schidigera adds a practical odor-control feature, making this formula a sensible everyday option for adult sterilized cats that benefit from digestive support and moderate fat levels.

Pros
Expand All
1

Animal-origin protein share

Protein ingredients of animal origin account for 52% of the formula, giving the food a strong animal-based nutritional foundation.
2

No soy or plant protein boosters

The detection results show no soy and no added plant protein concentrates, so the protein profile is not being artificially raised with concentrated vegetable proteins.
3

Natural preservation system

Tocopherol extracts from vegetable oils preserve the food without using BHT, BHA, or ethoxyquin.
4

No artificial colors

The absence of added food colors removes a cosmetic additive that offers no nutritional value to cats.
5

Bone-supporting minerals

Calcium at 1.3% and phosphorus at 1.1% are clearly declared and provide structural minerals needed for bones and teeth.
6

Named fat source

Chicken oil is a specific animal fat source, which is more transparent than an unspecified fat and helps supply palatability and fatty acids.
Cons
Expand All
1

Starch-based plant content

Rice and peas are prominent supporting ingredients, so a meaningful share of the formula's calories comes from carbohydrates rather than animal ingredients.
2

Higher ash level

Crude ash at 8% indicates a fairly mineral-dense food, which may be less suitable for cats that need tighter overall mineral management.
3

Not a reduced-phosphorus formula

Phosphorus is listed at 1.1%, so this recipe is not designed for cats that need phosphorus restriction.
4

Chicken-only animal profile

Because the main animal ingredients are all chicken-based, it is not appropriate for cats that need a novel protein or a chicken-free diet.
5

No chelated minerals

The trace minerals are not identified as chelated forms, which can be a drawback for absorption compared with chelated mineral systems.
6

Incomplete key disclosures

Metabolizable energy, moisture, magnesium, potassium, and omega-6 are not provided, making the formula harder to fully evaluate for calorie density and overall nutrient balance.

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.
