Summary

Arion Original Kitten 35/21 Chicken is formulated to support kittens’ rapid growth and development.
The first ingredient is dried chicken (40%), which provides a concentrated source of high-quality animal protein essential for muscle growth.
The 35% crude protein content ensures kittens receive sufficient amino acids for healthy development.
A crude fat level of 21% supplies energy, supporting the high activity levels of young cats.
Prebiotic fibers, including M.O.S. and F.O.S., contribute to a stable gut microbiome and efficient digestion.
A blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals helps strengthen the immune system during early life.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from fish oil support brain function, skin health, and a shiny coat.
Chelated minerals improve nutrient absorption and bioavailability for optimal kitten development.

Pros
Expand All
1

High-quality animal protein

40% dried chicken ensures a highly digestible and species-appropriate protein source for muscle and tissue growth.
2

Energy-dense formula

21% crude fat delivers sufficient calories to support the demanding energy needs of growing kittens.
3

Immune system support

A strong blend of vitamin A, vitamin E, and antioxidants helps build resilience against infections.
4

Prebiotics for digestive health

M.O.S. and F.O.S. promote gut balance, improving nutrient absorption and stool quality.
5

Omega fatty acids for skin, coat, and brain function

Fish oil provides DHA and EPA, essential for neurological development and glossy coat maintenance.
6

Chelated minerals for enhanced absorption

The inclusion of highly bioavailable minerals supports optimal growth and bone health.
Cons
Expand All
1

Lower fiber content

At 1.8%, fiber levels may not fully support kittens prone to digestive sensitivity or hairballs.
2

Presence of fish oil

It may not be ideal for kittens with fish allergies or sensitivities.
3

Higher ash content

At 7.2%, mineral density is slightly elevated compared to some kitten foods, which may contribute to excess mineral intake if not balanced with hydration.
4

No added taurine

While some natural taurine is present in meat sources, direct supplementation of taurine would provide additional support for heart and eye health.

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.
