Product Summary

Acana First Feast Kitten is a nutrient-dense dry cat food specially crafted for kittens’ growth and development needs. It features 70% animal ingredients, with fresh chicken as the primary source of protein (37%), supporting muscle growth. The recipe includes DHA for brain development and Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to maintain skin and coat health. This formula also contains taurine for eye and heart health, providing a well-rounded diet for young cats.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein: The food provides 37% crude protein, supporting the rapid growth needs of kittens.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Fresh chicken is the first ingredient, ensuring high-quality protein and palatability.
  • DHA Enrichment: DHA from fish oil promotes brain development, crucial for young cats.
  • Essential Fatty Acids: Omega-3 (0.9%) and Omega-6 (2.8%) aid in coat shine and skin health.
  • Taurine Boost: Contains 0.1% taurine, essential for cognitive and eye health in kittens.

 

Cons:

  • Elevated Fat Content: At 18% crude fat, it may not be ideal for less active kittens, potentially leading to weight issues if not monitored.
  • Moderate Fiber: 4% fiber may not provide enough bulk for kittens needing higher fiber for digestive health.
  • Calcium-Phosphorus Ratio: The ratio is relatively high and may not be suitable for long-term growth and skeletal health if not carefully balanced.

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.
