Summary

Arion Original Mature 29/12 Chicken is a dry cat food for senior cats to support joint health and weight management.

Dried chicken (16%) is the primary protein source, complemented by dried salmon and hydrolyzed animal protein for digestibility.

L-carnitine (500 mg/kg) is included to promote fat metabolism and help maintain an ideal body weight.

Joint-supporting ingredients such as glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and collagen aid in mobility and cartilage health.

A blend of prebiotics, including MOS, FOS, and β-glucans, supports digestive health and immune function.

Plant extracts from rosemary, turmeric, citrus, and cloves provide natural antioxidants for well-being.

The formula contains 29% crude protein and 12% crude fat, offering balanced nutrition for aging cats with reduced activity levels.

 

Pros:

  • Joint support: Glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and collagen contribute to cartilage health and mobility.
  • Weight management: L-carnitine (500 mg/kg) helps promote fat metabolism and maintain a healthy body weight.
  • Digestive health: Prebiotics (MOS, FOS, and β-glucans) help balance gut flora and improve digestive function.
  • Oral hygiene benefits: Contains a multifactorial approach to support dental health and reduce plaque buildup.
  • Balanced mineral content: Calcium (1.5%) and phosphorus (1.15%) help maintain strong bones and teeth.

 

Cons:

  • Low chicken content: Dried chicken (16%) is the primary protein source, which is relatively low compared to some premium senior cat foods.
  • Moderate fiber content: At 2.2%, crude fiber may be insufficient for optimal hairball control.
  • Contains plant extracts: While beneficial, some cats may be sensitive to turmeric or citrus extracts.
  • Limited omega fatty acids: Fish oil suggests omega-3 content, but specific levels are not provided.

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.
