Summary

Avantis Pure – Kitten is a dry food designed for kittens from 2 to 12 months, with a growth-focused recipe meant to support development during the first year in both indoor and outdoor cats.

Dehydrated chicken protein is the first ingredient at 30%, so chicken is the primary protein source and gives the formula a concentrated animal ingredient at the top of the recipe.

Fresh prepared turkey at 20% adds a second named poultry source, while hydrolyzed chicken liver provides an animal-derived ingredient processed for easy digestion.

Animal-origin ingredients make up 53.5% of the recipe, and the food supplies 33% crude protein to help support developing muscles and other growing tissues.

An 18% crude fat level provides a richer energy supply for growth and play, which is useful during a kitten’s fastest development stage.

Calcium at 1.35% and phosphorus at 1.25% provide key structural minerals for bones and teeth, and their close pairing supports balanced skeletal development.

Chicory as a natural FOS source works with beet pulp, pomace, and yeast to add fermentable fiber that can help support digestion and stool quality as kittens adapt to dry food.

Because it is labeled for regular indoor and outdoor kittens, it is suited to everyday feeding for kittens with either lifestyle in the first year.

Pros
Expand All
1

Fish oil support

Fish oil adds a marine fat source that can help support skin health and coat condition, while also contributing long-chain omega fats valued during growth.
2

Taurine fortification

Added taurine supports normal vision, heart function, and bile metabolism, all of which are essential in feline nutrition.
3

Growth-oriented vitamin support

Supplemented vitamins A, D3, and E help cover vision, bone mineralization, and antioxidant protection during rapid development.
4

Useful trace minerals

Iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, and selenium contribute to red blood cell formation, skin health, thyroid support, and normal enzyme activity.
5

Cleaner additive profile

Tocopherol extracts from vegetable oils are used as natural antioxidants, and no BHT, BHA, ethoxyquin, or food colors are listed.
6

No soy ingredients

The recipe contains no soy-based ingredient, which avoids a common plant protein extender and may simplify ingredient selection for owners avoiding soy.
Cons
Expand All
1

Plant-heavy carbohydrate base

Peas appear before rice and are followed by corn, so a sizable share of the non-meat portion comes from starch-rich plant ingredients.
2

Generic fat naming

Poultry fat is not species-specific, which reduces ingredient transparency and can make avoidance harder when owners want clearly named fat sources.
3

Moderately high ash

At 8% crude ash, the formula carries a notable total mineral load, which may be less appealing for cats that need tighter mineral management.
4

Standard mineral forms

The label does not identify chelated mineral sources, so it does not indicate enhanced mineral absorption support.
5

Incomplete nutrient disclosure

Moisture, metabolizable energy, magnesium, potassium, omega-3, and omega-6 values are not provided, which makes it harder to fully assess fatty acid strength, mineral detail, and feeding precision.

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.
