Wild Islands - Pacific Catch
Summary
Addiction’s Wild Islands Pacific Catch is a dry cat food formulated to emulate a cat’s natural, protein-rich diet.
The primary ingredient is fresh salmon, complemented by mackerel and hoki, all sustainably sourced from New Zealand.
The formula boasts a high protein content of 45% and is free from grains, potato, corn, soy, and wheat, catering to cats with specific dietary sensitivities.
Enriched with New Zealand Green-lipped Mussel, Manuka Honey, and Kiwifruit, it aims to support skin, coat, and immune health.
This food is suitable for cats across all life stages.
Pros:
- High Protein Content: Contains 45% crude protein, aligning with the natural dietary needs of obligate carnivores.
- Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids: Including King Salmon, mackerel, and hoki provides rich sources of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, promoting healthy skin and a glossy coat.
- Joint Health Support: Enriched with Green-lipped Mussel, which is high in glucosamine and chondroitin, nutrients known to support joint health.
- Immune System Enhancement: Incorporates Manuka Honey and Kiwifruit, both rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, to help boost the immune system.
Cons:
- Moderate Fat Content: With 15% crude fat, it may be lower than the fat content found in some other premium cat foods, which could be a consideration for cats requiring higher energy intake.
- Presence of Peas and Pea Protein: Includes peas and pea protein, which, while providing plant-based protein, may not be ideal for cats with sensitivities to legumes.
- Use of Tapioca: Contains tapioca as a carbohydrate source, which offers limited nutritional value compared to other ingredients.
- Potential Allergenic Ingredients: The presence of chicken meal and eggs could be problematic for cats with specific protein allergies.

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.
