Summary

Avenal Adult Spike Cat Fish is a complete dry food for adult cats of all breeds, formulated for both indoor and outdoor lifestyles with fish, poultry, and cereals.

The first listed ingredient is meat meal identified as containing 10% poultry, supplying an animal-derived protein ingredient, although the full animal source of the meal is not specified.

Fish meal is included at 4% and appears seventh in the ingredient list, providing an additional fish-derived protein component rather than serving as the leading ingredient.

With 29% crude protein and 12% crude fat, the food provides protein for maintenance of lean tissue and dietary fat as a concentrated energy source.

The stated metabolizable energy of 3,531 kcal/kg provides a disclosed measure for portion planning according to an individual cat’s body condition and activity level.

Supplemental taurine at 1,000 mg supports the essential taurine requirement for normal cardiac and visual function in cats.

Declared omega-3 and omega-6 levels of 0.15% and 1.28%, respectively, support skin barrier function and coat condition.

Fructo-oligosaccharides and yeast-derived mannan-oligosaccharides provide prebiotic support for intestinal microbial balance, while beet pulp and yucca are included to support stool quality and help reduce stool odor.

Rosemary extract and tocopherols provide antioxidant activity in the formula.

Pros
Expand All
1

Vitamin support

Vitamin A, vitamin D3, and vitamin E are declared in the additive package; these nutrients support normal vision and immune function, mineral metabolism, and antioxidant protection, respectively.
2

Trace mineral supplementation

Added iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, and selenium supply nutrients involved in oxygen transport, skin and immune function, enzyme activity, thyroid hormone production, and antioxidant defenses.
3

Hydrolyzed animal protein

Hydrolyzed animal protein provides an animal-derived ingredient processed into smaller protein components, which can contribute to palatability and digestibility.
4

Soy-free ingredient panel

The provided ingredient information identifies no soy-based ingredients, which is useful for households that prefer to avoid soy in a cat's diet.
5

No listed artificial colors or specified synthetic preservatives

The detection information reports no food colors, BHT, BHA, or ethoxyquin in the listed components.
Cons
Expand All
1

Multiple cereal ingredients

Corn, wheat, wheat bran, barley, and rice are all included, with rice declared at 84%, creating a formula with several plant-based carbohydrate sources.
2

Relatively high reported ash

Crude ash is listed at 8.5%, representing the food's total mineral residue; the supplied information does not provide calcium, phosphorus, or magnesium values to place this figure in context.
3

Incomplete mineral disclosure

Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium are not stated, limiting assessment of the formula's mineral balance for cats with specific urinary or kidney-related dietary needs.
4

Moisture value not provided

The guaranteed analysis leaves moisture blank, so the product's complete as-fed nutrient and water content cannot be evaluated from the supplied information.
5

No fresh whole animal ingredients in the leading positions

The provided detection results report no fresh whole poultry or fish among the first three ingredients, which may be a limitation for owners seeking a formula led by fresh animal ingredients.

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.
