Summary

Addiction’s Salmon Bleu is a premium grain-free dry cat food made primarily from New Zealand King Salmon, which provides a high-quality, easily digestible source of protein (30%).

This formula supports skin, coat health, and overall well-being, with added Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids (1% and 2.5%, respectively).
The inclusion of cranberries and blueberries contributes antioxidant benefits, while chelated minerals enhance nutrient absorption.

The food is enriched with essential vitamins and taurine, making it suitable for cats of all life stages.

 

Pros:

  • It contains 30% high-quality protein from New Zealand King Salmon, an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids that promote healthy skin and a glossy coat.
  • Grain-free and gluten-free formula, ideal for cats with sensitivities to grains or gluten.
  • Antioxidant-rich ingredients such as cranberries and blueberries support immune health and combat oxidative stress.
  • Chelated minerals are included to improve nutrient absorption, helping cats get the most out of their diet.
  • It contains taurine, an essential amino acid for cats, supporting heart health and vision.
  • Omega-6 fatty acids at 2.5% help maintain coat and skin health.

 

Cons:

  • The fat content is relatively high, at 15%, which may not be ideal for overweight or less active cats and may increase the risk of weight gain.
  • Includes pea protein as a secondary protein source, which is less bioavailable than animal proteins and may not be ideal for all cats.
  • Crude fiber content of 4% might be excessive for some cats, potentially causing digestive issues in those who require lower fiber intake.
  • While the grain-free formula is beneficial for some cats, it may not be necessary for all, and the presence of peas and potatoes as carbohydrate sources may not suit every cat’s digestive system.

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.
