Brit Care
Senior and Weight Control
Summary
Brit Care Senior and Weight Control is a grain-free formula designed for senior cats over seven years old and sterilized older cats.
The recipe features 26% fresh chicken and 27% dehydrated chicken, providing high-quality protein for muscle maintenance.
Reduced fat (15%) and increased fiber (4%) support weight management and healthy digestion.
Probiotics and prebiotics promote gut health and enhance immune system function.
Sea buckthorn and nasturtium contribute to urinary tract health, while L-methionine helps maintain an optimal urine pH of 6.0–6.5.
Essential omega-3 (0.4%) and omega-6 (1.2%) fatty acids help maintain skin health and a shiny coat.
Free from grains, artificial colorants, preservatives, GMOs, and soy, this formula is tailored for older cats with sensitive dietary needs.
Pros:
- High-quality protein: Contains 26% fresh chicken and 27% dehydrated chicken, supporting lean muscle retention in aging cats.
- Weight management: Low fat (15%) and high fiber (4%) help control weight while promoting satiety.
- Digestive support: Includes probiotics, prebiotics, and psyllium husk to enhance gut health and nutrient absorption.
- Urinary health: Sea buckthorn, cranberries, and L-methionine aid in maintaining urinary tract health and reducing the risk of kidney stones.
- Joint and heart health: Taurine (2,500 mg/kg) and L-carnitine (50 mg/kg) support cardiovascular function and metabolism.
Cons:
- Moderate ash content: Contains 9.5% crude ash, which may be relatively high for cats prone to kidney issues.
- Limited omega-3 content: Omega-3 fatty acids are present at 0.4%, which is lower than some other senior cat formulas.
- Potential allergenic ingredients: Brewer’s yeast and hydrolyzed chicken liver may not be suitable for cats with specific protein sensitivities.
- Higher sodium level: At 0.8% sodium, the content may be higher than ideal for cats requiring a low-sodium diet.

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.
