Alleva Holistic
Kitten Chicken & Duck
Summary
Alleva Holistic Kitten Chicken & Duck is a grain-free dry cat food formulated to support the rapid growth and development of kittens.
Dried chicken (45%) is the primary ingredient, followed by fresh deboned chicken (20%) and dried duck (12%), combining for 77% animal-sourced meat ingredients that deliver concentrated protein.
With 44% crude protein and 20% fat, this formula exceeds standard kitten protein needs and provides ample energy for their high activity levels.
Chicken fat and fish oil are the main lipid sources, contributing to 2.5% omega-6 and 1.3% omega-3 content, including 0.4% DHA and 0.7% EPA, supporting cognitive and skin health.
Sweet potato and pea starch are the primary carbohydrate sources, contributing to a dry matter carbohydrate content of approximately 18.6%, above the 5% target of a natural feline diet.
Prebiotic fibers, such as chicory root (FOS), brewer’s yeast (MOS), psyllium, and pea fiber, enhance gut flora and stool consistency, supporting digestive health.
Functional levels of glucosamine (1,300 mg/kg) and chondroitin (1,100 mg/kg) are included to promote joint integrity during the kitten’s skeletal development phase.
The food contains 8.4% crude ash, reflecting a high mineral content that may aid growth but could be excessive for kittens with renal sensitivity.

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.
