Summary

Avenal Cat Meat is a complete dry food formulated for adult cats of all breeds, including indoor and outdoor cats with regular activity levels.

Cereals, including genetically modified corn, are the first listed ingredient, making grain the formula’s leading ingredient type, followed by meat and animal by-products with 10% dehydrated poultry protein.

The named dehydrated poultry protein contributes animal-derived protein, while the 29% crude protein level supports the dietary protein supply needed to maintain adult body tissues.

With 10% crude fat and 3,362 kcal/kg of metabolizable energy, the food provides dietary fat and energy for daily activity, although feeding amounts should be adjusted to the individual cat’s body condition and activity.

Added taurine at 1,000 mg/kg supports the heart and vision functions for which cats require this essential amino acid.

Beet pulp at 2% supplies fermentable fiber that can help support stool consistency and intestinal function.

The formula provides omega-3 fatty acids at 0.04% and omega-6 fatty acids at 0.53%, nutrients that contribute to skin-barrier function and coat condition.

Vitamin A, vitamin D3, vitamin E, and added trace minerals support functions including vision, bone metabolism, antioxidant protection, and normal enzyme activity, while yucca schidigera is included at 125 mg/kg as a flavoring compound.

Pros
Expand All
1

No soy ingredients

No soy-based ingredient is identified, which may be useful for cats whose diets need to avoid soy.
2

No added food colors

The ingredient information reports no food coloring, avoiding non-nutritional color additives.
3

No BHT, BHA, or ethoxyquin reported

No BHT, BHA, or ethoxyquin is identified among the listed ingredients or quality flags.
4

Trace-mineral fortification

Iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, and selenium are added to support processes such as oxygen transport, skin function, thyroid hormone production, and antioxidant enzyme activity.
5

No plant or gluten-based protein listed

The detection information reports no plant or gluten-based protein ingredient, so the listed protein contribution is not supplemented with a separately identified plant protein source.
Cons
Expand All
1

High ash declaration

Crude ash is listed at 10%, meaning the food contains a substantial inorganic mineral residue; the absence of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium values prevents a more detailed mineral assessment.
2

Incomplete guaranteed-analysis disclosure

Moisture, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium are left blank, limiting evaluation of hydration-related and mineral-related nutritional details.
3

Unnamed fat sources

The ingredient list uses the general term “oils and fats” without identifying the animal or plant sources, which reduces transparency for cats with ingredient sensitivities.
4

Broad animal-ingredient description

“Meat and animal by-products” does not identify all animal materials used, while dehydrated poultry protein is specified at only 10%.
5

No chelated minerals reported

The listed mineral sources are inorganic compounds, and no chelated mineral forms are identified for owners specifically seeking chelated mineral supplementation.
6

Carbohydrate content is not declared

The guaranteed analysis does not state total carbohydrate content, making it difficult to quantify the dietary contribution from the cereal-based first ingredient.

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.
