Summary

Appetite Adult Chicken is a complete and balanced dry cat food designed to meet the daily energy and nutritional needs of adult cats 12 months of age and older.

The formula contains 30% crude protein, primarily sourced from processed chicken protein (28%), to support muscle maintenance and overall health.

With a fat content of 14%, the recipe provides sufficient energy for active adult cats while maintaining a balanced calorie profile.

High-quality, digestible ingredients, including rice and corn gluten, are included to support optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.

Enriched with taurine, vitamins A, D, and E, and essential minerals, this formula promotes a healthy heart, vision, and immune system.

Prebiotic mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) and beta-glucans further support digestive health and overall well-being.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 30% crude protein, primarily from 28% processed chicken protein, to maintain muscle health and overall vitality.
  • Digestive Support: Includes prebiotic MOS and high-quality, digestible ingredients like rice and corn gluten to promote gut health and nutrient absorption.
  • Balanced Fat Levels: This product has a 14% fat content, offering energy for active adult cats while supporting weight maintenance.
  • Taurine Enrichment: Contains taurine to support cardiovascular and vision health, which is essential for adult cats.
  • Fortified with Vitamins and Minerals: Enriched with vitamins A, D, and E, as well as essential minerals, to boost immunity and promote overall well-being.

 

Cons:

  • Carbohydrate Heavy: Ingredients like wheat, corn, and rice contribute to carbohydrates, which may not align with the low-carb needs of obligate carnivores.
  • Moderate Protein Quality: Relies on processed animal protein and processed chicken protein instead of whole, high-quality meat sources.
  • Limited Omega Fatty Acids: The absence of specified omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may limit the health benefits of skin and coat.
  • No Probiotics: While prebiotics are included, the lack of probiotics may reduce additional digestive support for sensitive cats.
  • Artificial Additives: The inclusion of liver flavor and unspecified antioxidants may not appeal to pet owners seeking natural ingredients.

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.
