Wild Islands - Island Birds
Summary
Addiction’s Wild Islands Island Birds is a dry cat food formulated to emulate a cat’s natural, protein-rich diet.
The primary ingredient is fresh chicken, complemented by duck and turkey, providing highly digestible protein sources.
The formula contains a crude protein content of 45% and a crude fat content of 15%, supporting muscle development and overall health.
Nutrient-dense organ meats, such as chicken liver, enhance palatability and nutritional value.
Additionally, the inclusion of Green-lipped Mussel, Manuka Honey, and Kiwifruit offers antioxidants and supports joint health and immunity.
This grain-free recipe excludes potato, corn, soy, and wheat, catering to cats with specific dietary sensitivities.
Pros:
- High Protein Content: Contains a crude protein level of 45%, aligning with the feline requirement for a protein-rich diet.
- Quality Protein Sources: This product features fresh chicken as the first ingredient, along with duck and turkey, offering highly digestible proteins essential for muscle maintenance.
- Nutrient-Dense Organ Meats: Inclusion of chicken liver provides essential vitamins and enhances the food’s palatability.
- Joint Health Support: Green-lipped Mussel is rich in glucosamine and chondroitin, which aid in maintaining healthy joints.
- Immune System Support: Manuka Honey and Kiwifruit are rich in antioxidants, promoting overall immune health.
Cons:
- Moderate Fat Content: With a crude fat content of 15%, it may not be suitable for less active or overweight cats requiring lower fat intake.
- Fiber Content: The crude fiber content is 5%, which might be higher than necessary for some cats and could lead to digestive issues.
- Inclusion of Legumes: Ingredients like peas and fava beans are present, which are plant-based protein sources and may not be ideal for all cats, especially those with sensitivities.
- Use of Tapioca: Tapioca is included as a carbohydrate source, and while grain-free, it offers limited nutritional benefits to cats.

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.
