Original - Sensible 32/19 Salmon
by ArionSummary
Arion Original Sensible 32/19 Salmon is designed for cats with sensitive digestion, using easily digestible ingredients.
Dried salmon (20%) is the primary protein source, supported by dried chicken and hydrolyzed animal protein for balanced nutrition.
Prebiotic fibers, including FOS and MOS, aid in maintaining gut health and promoting beneficial intestinal bacteria.
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil and dried Antarctic krill contribute to skin and coat health.
Refined cellulose helps support digestion while also assisting in reducing hairball formation.
A blend of plant extracts from rosemary, turmeric, citrus, and cloves provides natural antioxidant support.
With 32% crude protein and 19% crude fat, this formula provides energy for active adult cats while being gentle on digestion.
Pros:
- Digestive support: Prebiotics (MOS and FOS) promote gut health and aid digestion in sensitive cats.
- Skin and coat health: Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil and krill help maintain a healthy, shiny coat.
- Hairball management: Refined cellulose supports digestion and assists in hairball reduction.
- Balanced mineral content: Calcium (1.45%) and phosphorus (1.10%) support strong bones and teeth.
- No artificial preservatives: Natural plant extracts provide antioxidant benefits without synthetic additives.
Cons:
- Moderate salmon content: Dried salmon (20%) is the primary protein, which may be lower than expected for a salmon-based formula.
- Low fiber content: At 1.8%, crude fiber may not be sufficient for cats, who require a higher fiber intake for digestive regularity.
- Contains plant extracts: Some cats may be sensitive to certain botanical ingredients, such as citrus or turmeric.
- Unspecified omega-3 levels: While omega-3s are highlighted, the exact content is not specified.

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.
