ChickenSummary
Acana Indoor Entrée is formulated for adult indoor cats, focusing on weight management, digestive health, and hairball control.
With 65% of its ingredients derived from animal sources, such as free-run chicken and whole herring, it provides a robust 37% protein content for muscle maintenance.
The formula incorporates natural fiber sources, like oat groats and miscanthus grass, to aid digestion and minimize hairballs, while L-carnitine helps support a healthy weight for less active indoor cats.
Pros:
- High Protein Content: This formula contains 37% protein, primarily from chicken, turkey, and herring, which supports lean muscle maintenance in indoor cats.
- Natural Fiber Sources: Ingredients like oat groats and miscanthus grass help manage hairballs and promote digestive health, addressing common indoor cat issues.
- Weight Management Support: This product includes L-carnitine, which is essential for aiding fat metabolism and helping to maintain a healthy weight, especially for less active cats.
- Animal-Based Ingredients: The food’s 65% animal ingredients make it suitable for cats’ carnivorous nature and ensure quality protein sources.
Cons:
- Moderate Fat Content: The formula contains 14% crude fat, which might be on the higher side for cats requiring strict fat management, especially those prone to weight gain.
- Higher Ash Content: With a crude ash content of 9%, it may not suit all cats, particularly those with specific mineral requirements.
- Grain-Inclusive Formula: While oat groats offer fiber, the grain content may not align with the preferences of cat owners seeking a fully grain-free diet.

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.
