Product Summary

Araton Adult Outdoor with Chicken and Turkey is a complete and balanced dry food formulated for adult cats with active lifestyles.

It features chicken and turkey meal as primary protein sources, supporting muscle maintenance and energy.

The inclusion of biotin, zinc, and vitamin B6 promotes a healthy skin and shiny coat.

Taurine and vitamin A contribute to cardiovascular health and improved vision.

Beet pulp aids digestive health by supporting beneficial gut bacteria and enhancing nutrient absorption.

 

Pros:

  • Protein-rich: Contains 28% crude protein, suitable for maintaining muscle mass in active cats.
  • Skin and coat support: This product includes biotin, zinc, and vitamin B6, which improve skin health and promote a glossy coat.
  • Digestive benefits: Beet pulp helps regulate intestinal flora for better digestion and nutrient utilization.
  • Cardiovascular health: Provides 700 mg/kg taurine to support heart function and vision.
  • Balanced minerals: Calcium (1.35%) and phosphorus (1.1%) support bone and dental health.

 

Cons:

  • Low-fat content: At 9%, the fat content is relatively low, which may not fully meet the energy needs of highly active cats.
  • Grain-heavy composition: Contains maize, wheat bran, and triticale, which may not suit grain-sensitive cats.
  • Limited animal protein variety: Relies primarily on chicken and turkey with minimal inclusion of other protein sources.
  • Moderate vitamin content: Vitamin A (14,000 IU/kg) and vitamin D3 (1,400 IU/kg) levels are lower than some competitor formulas.
  • Ash content: A crude ash level of 7% is relatively high, potentially indicating an elevated mineral content.

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

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.
