Product Summary

Alleva Equilibrium: Sterilized Chicken is a dry cat food formulated for adult sterilized cats and suitable for indoor and outdoor environments.

The primary ingredient is chicken, comprising 80% dehydrated and 20% fresh meat, accounting for 50% of the total composition.

The formula includes brown rice to enhance digestibility and provide quick energy release.

Enriched with natural antioxidants and soluble fibers from dried fruits and vegetables, it supports overall feline health.

The low-grain content focuses on animal-derived proteins and fats, aligning with the dietary needs of sterilized cats.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 35% crude protein, primarily sourced from chicken, supporting muscle maintenance in adult sterilized cats.
  • Digestive Health Support: Including chicory root, a source of inulin and FOS, promotes beneficial gut bacteria, aiding digestion.
  • Natural Antioxidants: Enriched with dried fruits like blueberries (0.4%) and cranberries (0.4%), providing antioxidants that support the immune system.
  • Balanced Omega Fatty Acids: This supplement provides omega-6 (1.3%) and omega-3 (0.4%) fatty acids, which contribute to healthy skin and coat.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: Contains 12% crude fat, which may be lower than some cats’ energy requirements, potentially necessitating additional fat sources.
  • Carbohydrate Inclusion: The use of brown rice and pea starch increases carbohydrate levels, which may not align with cats’ obligate carnivorous nature.
  • Ash Content: Crude ash is at 8%; while it provides essential minerals, excessive amounts might burden the kidneys over time.

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.
