Chicken Adult Dry Cat Food (UK)
Summary
Applaws Chicken Adult Dry Cat Food (UK) is a grain-free, complete and balanced dry food for adult cats that emphasizes high animal-protein nutrition and straightforward digestibility.
The first ingredient is chicken—46% chicken meal plus 3.5% freshly prepared chicken—providing concentrated, highly digestible amino acids to maintain lean muscle and support daily repair.
At 37% crude protein and 16.5% fat with an energy density of 4046 kcal/kg, the formula delivers robust calories for indoor and outdoor adult cats with normal to higher activity.
Poultry fat (8%) supplies energy and linoleic acid, while salmon oil contributes omega-3s, resulting in 3.85% omega-6 and 0.5% omega-3 to support skin and coat health and normal inflammatory balance.
Prebiotic chicory extract (a source of FOS at 0.2%), beet pulp, and dried brewer’s yeast help nourish beneficial gut bacteria and promote regular, well-formed stools.
Egg powder and poultry gravy add animal-sourced amino acids and palatability, helping encourage consistent intake without using grains.
The mineral profile lists calcium at 2.2% and phosphorus at 1.4% with 8% ash, indicating a mineral-dense recipe that supports bone and tooth structure.
Vitamin A (29,000 IU), vitamin D3 (1,000 IU), and vitamin E (640 mg) help support vision, calcium utilization, immune function, and antioxidant defense against oxidative stress.
Taurine (1000 mg) supports heart muscle function and retinal health, while DL-methionine (250 mg) supplies sulfur-containing amino acids that can aid in maintaining a urinary-friendly pH.
Cranberry powder and yucca schidigera extract provide complementary benefits, with cranberry used to support the urinary tract environment and yucca helping reduce stool odor, while seaweed provides natural micronutrients.

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.
