Purina ONE
Junior 1-12 (Kitten) Chicken
Summary
Purina ONE Junior 1-12 (Kitten) Chicken is a dry cat food formulated to support the rapid growth and development needs of kittens from 1 to 12 months of age, providing high energy density and essential nutrients for early life stages.
The first ingredient is fresh chicken, including bone, meat, and skin, offering a natural source of high-quality animal protein and essential amino acids to support muscle development and overall growth.
With a crude protein content of 41% and fat at 20%, the formula delivers the elevated macronutrient levels required for kittens’ high metabolic demands and energy needs.
Dehydrated poultry protein further boosts the protein density, ensuring a consistent supply of digestible animal-based nutrients critical for tissue repair and immune development.
Fish oil contributes DHA (0.05%), a key omega-3 fatty acid that supports brain and vision development during the early stages of life.
Chicory root provides a natural source of prebiotic inulin, which helps promote a healthy gut microbiome and supports digestive health in young kittens.
Vitamins A (33,000 IU/kg), D3 (1,000 IU/kg), and E (460 IU/kg) are included at levels that support immune function, bone development, and antioxidant protection.
The inclusion of Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Lactobacillus fermentum, even in small amounts (0.025%), may contribute to gut flora balance and digestive resilience.
Calcium and phosphorus are both present at 1.3%, supporting optimal skeletal development during the critical growth phase.
With a metabolizable energy of 4024 kcal/kg, the formula is energy-dense, helping kittens meet their caloric needs in smaller meal volumes.

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.
