Summary

Affinity Advance: Sterilized Hairball is a complete dry food designed for sterilized adult cats.

It combines hairball control with weight management.

The formula contains 15% turkey as its primary protein source.

It also has a high fiber content (6%) from powdered cellulose and beet pulp, which helps reduce hairball formation and promote the natural excretion of ingested fur.

Balanced mineral levels help maintain optimal urinary pH, supporting urinary tract health in sterilized cats.

Enriched with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and zinc, it enhances skin health and promotes a shiny coat.

The moderate fat (12%), calorie content, and high protein (36%) support weight control while maintaining lean muscle mass.

 

Pros:

  • Hairball Control: High fiber content reduces hairball and facilitates fur excretion through digestion.
  • Weight Management: Moderate fat and calorie levels support healthy weight maintenance, especially for sterilized cats with reduced energy needs.
  • Urinary Health: Balanced mineral content helps regulate urinary pH, reducing the risk of urinary tract issues.
  • Skin and Coat Health: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, along with zinc, improve coat condition and skin vitality.
  • Digestive Support: Contains chicory inulin (0.6%), a natural prebiotic that supports gut health and nutrient absorption.

 

Cons:

  • Grain Inclusion: Contains maize, wheat, and barley, which may not suit cats with grain allergies or sensitivities.
  • Low Omega-3 Levels: At 0.5%, the omega-3 content is sufficient but lower compared to fish-based diets that emphasize anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Moderate Fresh Protein Content: Relies on dehydrated proteins rather than fresh sources, which could impact flavor and digestibility.
  • Limited Fat Content: While beneficial for weight control, the 12% fat level may not meet the energy needs of more active cats.

Notes

The score is calculated after relocation of fresh meat or fish ingredient(s) as explained in the calculation rule #7 in Chapter 1.
Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

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.
