Summary

Avenal Cat Salmon is a complete dry food for regular adult cats of all breeds, including indoor and outdoor cats, formulated to provide everyday nutrition with poultry, salmon, cereals, taurine, digestive prebiotics, and antioxidant ingredients.

The first ingredient is dehydrated meat proteins, including 14% dehydrated poultry protein, which provides concentrated animal-derived protein, although the complete animal-species composition of this leading ingredient is not specified.

Salmon meal is included at 4%, making salmon an additional named animal-protein source rather than the leading protein ingredient in the recipe.

With 30% crude protein, 12% crude fat, and 3,603 kcal/kg of metabolizable energy, the food provides protein for maintaining adult lean tissue and fat for dietary energy.

Added taurine at 1,000 mg/kg supports normal heart function and vision, two essential feline nutritional needs.

The declared omega-3 content of 0.16% and omega-6 content of 1.31% support skin-barrier function and coat condition.

Beet pulp, chicory-root inulin supplying fructo-oligosaccharides, and yeast cell walls supplying mannan-oligosaccharides provide fermentable fibers that support digestion and a balanced intestinal microbiota.

Rosemary extract and tocopherols provide antioxidant activity that helps protect dietary fats from oxidation.

Pros
Expand All
1

Vitamin fortification

Vitamin A, vitamin D3, and vitamin E support vision and immune function, calcium metabolism, and antioxidant protection, respectively.
2

Trace-mineral support

Added iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, and selenium contribute to functions including oxygen transport, skin integrity, thyroid hormone production, and antioxidant enzyme activity.
3

Identified poultry fat

Poultry fat is a clearly identified animal-fat source that supplies dietary energy and contributes fatty acids to the formula.
4

No soy listed

The ingredient list contains no soy-based ingredient, which is useful for owners seeking to avoid soy in an adult cat's diet.
5

No listed artificial colors or specified synthetic antioxidants

The provided information reports no food colors, BHT, BHA, or ethoxyquin in the formula.
Cons
Expand All
1

Cereal-forward ingredient list

Corn, wheat, and wheat bran follow the first ingredient, so several cereal ingredients appear prominently in the formula.
2

Unspecified leading animal-protein blend

Although poultry protein is identified at 14%, the leading dehydrated meat-protein ingredient does not fully identify all animal species it contains.
3

Multiple animal-protein sources

The recipe contains dehydrated meat proteins, poultry protein, poultry fat, and salmon meal, which may be less suitable for cats that need a diet with tightly limited animal ingredients.
4

Incomplete mineral disclosure

Crude ash is listed at 7.5%, but calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium values are not provided, limiting assessment of the formula's detailed mineral profile.
5

Unspecified preservative details

The label states that EU-authorized preservatives are used but does not name these preservative ingredients individually.
6

Moisture value not reported

The guaranteed analysis leaves the moisture value blank, limiting evaluation of the complete as-fed analytical profile.

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.
