Summary

Addiction: Duck Royale Entrée is a premium dry cat food designed to provide a balanced, nutrient-rich diet for cats of all life stages.

The recipe features New Zealand duck as the primary ingredient, a novel protein source known for its digestibility and suitability for cats with common protein sensitivities.

This formula is enhanced with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for skin and coat health, aloe vera for its antioxidant properties, and inulin to support digestive wellness.

With its holistic approach, Duck Royale Entrée is crafted to deliver optimal nutrition while catering to cats with unique dietary needs.

 

Pros:

  • High-Quality Protein Source: The first ingredient, New Zealand duck, offers a novel protein that supports muscle development and may benefit cats with food sensitivities.
  • Skin and Coat Health: Enriched with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
  • Digestive Support: Includes inulin, a natural prebiotic that fosters healthy gut flora and digestion.
  • Antioxidant-Rich Formula: Aloe vera provides phytonutrients and antioxidants that support overall health and vitality.
  • Nutritional Balance: Designed as a complete and balanced diet suitable for all life stages, ensuring essential nutrients for growth and maintenance.

 

Cons:

  • Potential Allergen Risks: The formula includes chicken and chicken meal in addition to duck, which may trigger allergies in sensitive cats.
  • Legume Content: Ingredients such as fava beans, peas, and potatoes could cause sensitivities in some cats.
  • Moderate Fiber Level: With up to 6.5% crude fiber, it might not be ideal for cats requiring lower fiber intake for digestive ease.
  • Fish Meal Presence: Includes fish meal, which could be unsuitable for cats with fish allergies or sensitivities.
  • Natural Flavors: Contains natural flavors, which some pet owners may prefer to avoid despite their general safety.

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.
