Bountiful Catch (EMEA) (APAC)
Summary
Acana Bountiful Catch is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats, featuring wild-caught fish as its primary protein source, with fresh whole salmon listed as the first ingredient.
The formula provides 34% crude protein, primarily from fish such as salmon, herring, and trout, catering to the dietary needs of both indoor and outdoor cats.
Rich in omega fatty acids, it supports skin and coat health, while added prebiotics aid digestion.
This nutrient-dense recipe also includes taurine, EPA, and DHA to help maintain eye and heart health.
Pros:
- High Animal Protein Content: With 34% crude protein, primarily sourced from whole fish, it supplies essential amino acids necessary for muscle maintenance and overall health.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Containing 0.8% omega-3 fatty acids, the formula promotes a healthy coat and skin, contributing to a shiny appearance and reduced shedding.
- Low Carbohydrate Level: At 30% carbohydrates, it is beneficial for cats with sensitivities to carbs, aligning with their natural dietary preferences.
- Added Taurine: Inclusion of 400 mg/kg taurine supports heart health and vision, addressing essential feline nutritional requirements.
Cons:
- Moderate Fat Content: The product contains 16% crude fat, which may not be ideal for cats prone to obesity or those requiring a low-fat diet.
- Low Fiber Content: With 4% crude fiber, it might not provide sufficient fiber for some cats’ digestive health, potentially affecting stool quality.
- Inclusion of Legumes: Ingredients like lentils and chickpeas are present, which some cats may find difficult to digest, possibly leading to gastrointestinal discomfort.

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.

Note 1: These foods are very special, there are many different meat and fish ingredients in them, both in fresh and dried forms, but an amount of each one of them is relatively small. In order to make an evaluation I combined some of these ingredients into groups. So the score calculation is not that straightforward as in most other cases.
