Brekkies
Complet with Chicken, Vegetables and Cereals
Summary
Brekkies Complet with Chicken, Vegetables and Cereals is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats, providing a cereal-based diet with moderate animal protein.
The main protein source is 4% dehydrated chicken protein, categorized under the broader “meat and animal derivatives” category, which limits clarity on ingredient quality.
Cereals like wheat (10%) and corn (4%) are primary carbohydrate sources, contributing to a high carb load typical in economy formulas.
The formula includes dehydrated peas and carrots along with vegetable protein extracts and beet pulp to support digestion.
Fats and oils supply omega-3 (0.18%) and omega-6 (1.9%) fatty acids for skin and coat care, along with zinc.
Vitamins A, D3, E, and taurine are included, but minerals are non-chelated, and the formula contains unspecified antioxidants.
With 30% protein, 11% fat, 3% fiber, 7.5% ash, and 10% moisture, the dry matter values yield approximately 33.3% protein and 43.1% carbohydrates.
Pros:
Adequate protein level: 30% crude protein yields 33.3% on a dry matter basis, supporting adult cat maintenance.
Omega balance: Includes 0.18% omega-3 and 1.9% omega-6 with zinc, promoting coat and skin health.
Taurine support: Taurine is supplemented at 833 mg/kg, supporting essential heart and vision functions.
Vegetable fiber: Contains beet pulp and vegetables like peas and carrots to support digestion and stool quality.
Vitamin-enriched: Includes essential vitamins A, D3, and E for overall vitality.
Cons:
Very high carbohydrate level: With 43.1% carbohydrates on a dry matter basis, the formula deviates from the needs of obligate carnivores.
Limited meat specification: Only 4% dehydrated chicken protein is identified, and the rest is broadly labeled “meat and animal derivatives.”
Lacks chelated minerals: Uses basic inorganic mineral salts, which may be less efficiently absorbed.
No diverse meat content: No secondary or alternative animal proteins are included to diversify the amino acid profile.
Synthetic additives: Antioxidants are listed without a full specification, suggesting a synthetic origin without transparency.

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.
