Brekkies
Delicious with Chicken and Turkey, Vegetables and Cereals
Summary
Brekkies Delicious with Chicken and Turkey, Vegetables and Cereals is a dry food designed for adult cats, featuring a blend of animal proteins and crunchy ham-filled kibbles.
The protein mix includes 4% dehydrated chicken, 4% dehydrated turkey, and 1% dehydrated ham (in the filling), totaling 9% named meat ingredients.
Wheat (10%) and corn (4%) are the main carbohydrates, contributing to the high carbohydrate content typical of economy formulations.
Oils and fats supply essential fatty acids, including omega-3 (0.21%) and omega-6 (2%), while zinc supports skin and coat health.
Vegetables include peas and carrots, and beet pulp is added for digestive fiber alongside vegetable protein extracts.
Taurine is added at 908 mg/kg, and a standard mix of vitamins and minerals is included, though minerals are not chelated.
With 32% protein, 11% fat, 2.5% fiber, 7.5% ash, and 10% moisture, the dry matter content yields approximately 35.6% protein and 40.7% carbohydrates.
Pros:
Multiple animal protein sources: Includes chicken, turkey, and ham derivatives, offering some variety in animal-based proteins.
Omega support for coat: Includes 0.21% omega-3 and 2% omega-6 fatty acids, paired with zinc, for skin and coat health.
Fiber for digestion: Contains beet pulp and peas to help promote healthy digestion and stool formation.
Moderate protein level: Provides 32% protein, equating to 35.6% on a dry matter basis, which is suitable for adult maintenance.
Taurine inclusion: At 908 mg/kg, the formula supports heart and vision functions.
Cons:
High carbohydrate load: Estimated at 40.7% carbohydrates on a dry matter basis, which is significantly higher than what obligate carnivores require.
Unclear ingredient quality: “Meat and animal derivatives” lacks transparency and may include lower-quality protein sources.
No chelated minerals: All minerals are in basic forms, reducing absorption efficiency.
Synthetic colorants and antioxidants: Although no artificial colorants are used, the inclusion of unspecified colorants and antioxidants raises concerns about the types of additives.
Low ham inclusion: The 1% dehydrated ham is present only in the kibble filling, likely having minimal nutritional impact.

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.
