Addiction
Viva La Venison Entree
Summary
Addiction’s Viva La Venison Entrée is a dry cat food formulated to provide balanced nutrition for cats of all life stages.
The primary ingredient is free-range New Zealand venison, offering a novel protein source suitable for cats with sensitivities to common proteins.
This grain-free formula includes a blend of fruits and vegetables, supplying antioxidants and phytonutrients to support overall health.
Additionally, the inclusion of probiotics aims to enhance digestive health.
Pros:
- High-Quality Protein Source: Venison is the first ingredient, providing a lean and easily digestible protein that supports muscle maintenance and overall health.
- Grain-Free Formula: The absence of grains makes it suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or allergies.
- Antioxidant-Rich Ingredients: Incorporation of fruits and vegetables delivers essential antioxidants, promoting a robust immune system.
- Digestive Support: Probiotics are included to aid in digestion and nutrient absorption, contributing to gastrointestinal health.
Cons:
- Moderate Protein Content: With a crude protein level of 30%, it may be lower than some other premium cat foods, which could be a consideration for highly active cats requiring more protein.
- Inclusion of Chicken Ingredients: Despite venison being the primary protein, chicken and chicken meals may not be suitable for cats with specific poultry allergies.
- Carbohydrate Sources: Ingredients like fava beans, tapioca, peas, and potatoes contribute to the carbohydrate content, which might concern cats requiring a low-carbohydrate diet.
- Fat Content: The crude fat content is 15%, which may be higher than necessary for less active or overweight cats. If not monitored, this could lead to weight gain.

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.
