Product Summary

Alleva Holistic’s Hairball Chicken & Duck formula is designed for adult cats, offering targeted hairball management with a high protein content of 42% from chicken and duck. It includes unique ingredients like sugarcane fiber and aloe vera, which support digestion and hairball reduction. Fresh deboned chicken as a primary ingredient provides a high-quality protein source, while additional fiber aids in digestion.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content at 42%, mainly from animal sources, supporting muscle health and overall nutrition.
  • Includes omega-3 (1.2%) and omega-6 (2.4%) fatty acids, promoting skin and coat health.
  • It contains fiber-rich ingredients like psyllium and sugarcane fiber, which aid in hairball control.

 

Cons:

  • Crude fat content is 18%, which might be higher than necessary for less active cats.
  • Crude fiber is 8%, which could be excessive for cats that don’t require intensive hairball control.
  • The ash content is 8.9%, slightly elevated and may contribute to urinary health issues if not balanced with adequate hydration.

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.
