Summary

Almo Nature Life Maintenance – with Fresh Oily Fish is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats, suitable for both indoor and outdoor lifestyles, with a focus on maintaining overall health through a balanced nutritional profile.
The first ingredient, fresh anchovy, serves as a high-quality animal protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids, supporting lean muscle maintenance and promoting skin and coat health.
With a crude protein content of 32% and fat at 17%, the formula provides a nutrient-dense energy profile appropriate for active adult cats, helping to sustain energy levels and muscle condition.
The inclusion of dried chicken and hydrolyzed animal proteins enhances the amino acid profile, supporting tissue repair and immune function.
Omega-3 (1.1%) and omega-6 (3.6%) fatty acids are present in beneficial ratios, contributing to anti-inflammatory support, cardiovascular health, and a glossy coat.
Prebiotics such as mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) and chicory inulin (source of FOS) promote digestive health by supporting beneficial gut bacteria and improving nutrient absorption.
Essential vitamins including vitamin E (300 mg/kg), B-complex vitamins, and vitamin A (17,500 IU/kg) contribute to immune defense, vision, and metabolic function.
Calcium (1.4%) and phosphorus (1.1%) are balanced to support bone and dental health, while magnesium at 0.11% helps maintain urinary tract health.
Choline chloride (2730 mg/kg) supports liver function and fat metabolism, which is particularly important in active or overweight-prone cats.
Taurine at 500 mg/kg supports heart health and vision, though the level is on the lower end of the typical range for adult maintenance.

Pros
Expand All
1

High-quality fish protein source

Fresh anchovy provides digestible protein and natural omega-3s for muscle and skin health.
2

Balanced omega fatty acids

Omega-3 and omega-6 levels support anti-inflammatory processes, skin barrier function, and coat shine.
3

Digestive support with prebiotics

MOS and FOS from chicory inulin help maintain a healthy gut microbiome and improve stool quality.
4

Comprehensive vitamin profile

High levels of vitamin E and B-complex vitamins aid in immune function, energy metabolism, and cellular protection.
5

Suitable for active cats

With 3940 kcal/kg and 17% fat, the formula supports the energy needs of both indoor and outdoor adult cats.
Cons
Expand All
1

High ash content

At 8.5%, the ash level may be excessive for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities, potentially increasing mineral load.
2

Use of maize and rice

Multiple grain sources contribute to the 32% carbohydrate content, which may not align with low-carb dietary preferences.
3

Low taurine level

Taurine at 500 mg/kg is at the minimum required level for adult cats, offering a limited margin for cats with higher needs.
4

Multiple protein sources

The combination of fish, chicken, and hydrolyzed animal proteins may not be ideal for cats with food sensitivities or requiring limited-ingredient diets.

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.
