With 10% crude fat and a calorie density of 3,750 kcal/kg, this food offers adequate energy for cats with moderate activity levels.
Omega-3 (0.1%) and omega-6 (1%) fatty acids from flaxseed and poultry fat contribute to skin and coat health.

Pros:
- Moderate Protein Content: This product provides 30% crude protein from turkey meat and bone meal, poultry viscera, and bovine meat, supporting muscle maintenance and growth.
- Heart and Vision Support: Enriched with 1,000 mg/kg of taurine, essential for cardiovascular and visual health in cats.
- Skin and Coat Health: This supplement includes omega-3 (0.1%) and omega-6 (1%) fatty acids from flaxseed and poultry fat, which promote a healthy coat and reduce skin irritation.
- Digestive Support: Yucca schidigera extract helps reduce stool odor and supports digestive health.
- Balanced Nutritional Profile: Fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin E and zinc, for immune support and overall wellness.
Cons:
- Lower Protein Quality: It relies on by-products like poultry viscera meal and turkey meat and bone meal rather than whole meat sources, which may not be ideal for pet owners seeking premium-quality proteins.
- Carbohydrate-Heavy: Ingredients like ground corn, broken rice, and wheat bran contribute to a high carbohydrate load, which makes them less suitable for obligate carnivores.
- Artificial Additives: This category includes artificial colorings (e.g., red ponceau 4R, tartrazine yellow, sunset yellow), and preservatives (BHA, BHT), which may concern health-conscious owners.
- Low Omega-3 Levels: Omega-3 fatty acid content (0.1%) is minimal, limiting its benefits for anti-inflammatory and skin health properties.
- Fat Content for Active Cats: At 10% crude fat, this formula may not provide enough energy for highly active or underweight cats.

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.
