Bozita
Indoor & Sterilised Grain Free Recipe With Reindeer
Summary
Bozita Indoor & Sterilised Grain Free Recipe With Reindeer is a dry complete food tailored for adult indoor and sterilised cats with lower energy requirements.
It is formulated without grains, making it suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or those prone to weight gain.
The first listed ingredient is chicken, which is combined with 23% dried chicken protein and 4% freshly prepared chicken to provide concentrated animal protein.
The recipe includes 7% freshly prepared reindeer, a novel meat source that enhances palatability and adds digestible animal protein.
Its guaranteed analysis shows 33% crude protein and 14% fat, balancing muscle maintenance with energy control for less active cats.
Lignocellulose (4%) reduces hairball formation, a common issue in indoor cats due to increased grooming.
Prebiotic fibers such as FOS (0.63%) and MOS (0.2%) are included to support gut health and maintain a stable intestinal flora.
Yeast-derived beta-glucans (0.1%) contribute immune-supporting properties, enhancing the cat’s overall health.
Taurine (2000 mg/kg), essential for heart, vision, and reproductive health, is added at a high and functional level.
L-carnitine (50 mg/kg) aids in the transport of fatty acids and supports metabolism, making it beneficial for sterilised cats.
The food contains a balanced mineral profile, including calcium (1.2%), phosphorus (0.9%), and magnesium (0.08%), supporting urinary health.
Pros:
Animal-based protein: Contains 27% chicken (23% dried chicken protein, 4% fresh) and 7% fresh reindeer, supplying high-quality, digestible animal protein for muscle maintenance.
Prebiotic fiber blend: Enriched with 0.63% FOS and 0.2% MOS, which promote beneficial gut bacteria and support a healthy digestive system.
Hairball control: This product includes 4% lignocellulose (cellulose fibres), which helps manage and reduce hairball formation in indoor cats.
Immune system support: Contains 0.1% yeast beta-glucans (ß-1,3/1,6-glucans), known to enhance immune function and overall health.
Metabolic enhancer: Added L-carnitine (50 mg/kg) aids in fat metabolism, supporting weight control especially in sterilised and sedentary cats.
Essential amino acids: Provides 2000 mg/kg of taurine, supporting vital functions such as cardiac health, vision, and reproduction.
Cons:
Below optimal protein level: At 33% crude protein and 9% moisture, the dry matter protein is approximately 36.26%, well below the 50% ideal for obligate carnivores.
Significant carbohydrate sources: Pea starch and dried potato appear early in the ingredient list, contributing to a higher carbohydrate content not quantified on the label.
Unspecified fat source: “Bonefat” is used as the main fat ingredient, but the specific animal source is not specified, making fat quality unclear.
Potential plant protein contribution: Ingredients such as pea starch and dried beet fibre may add some non-meat protein, which is less suitable for cats’ nutritional needs.
No chelated minerals: Minerals are not listed in chelated form, which may reduce their bioavailability and nutrient absorption efficiency.
Hydrolysed protein presence: The inclusion of hydrolysed protein suggests possible use of animal by-products or unspecified meat extracts, with unclear nutritional value.

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.
