Indoor Vitality Chicken Formula
Summary
1st Choice Indoor Vitality Chicken Formula is a dry food designed for adult indoor cats, formulated to support weight control, digestion, and urinary tract health in lower-activity felines.
The primary protein sources are chicken and chicken meal, delivering lean, animal-based protein to maintain muscle tone without excess fat accumulation.
The recipe includes rice, brown rice, pearled barley, and oat groats as carbohydrate sources, while L-carnitine is added to help convert fat into energy and support healthy weight maintenance.
Prebiotic support comes from yeast extract and chicory root, which provide MOS and FOS fibers to nourish beneficial gut bacteria and promote digestive balance.
Urinary health is supported through controlled mineral levels (calcium 1.1%, phosphorus 0.9%, magnesium 0.1%) and pH regulation to help reduce the risk of crystal formation.
The guaranteed analysis lists 28% crude protein, 18% fat, 3% fiber, and 8.5% ash, with taurine at 2,100 mg/kg and a robust vitamin profile, including vitamin A (34,000 IU/kg) and vitamin D3 (2,000 IU/kg).

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.
