Summary
Canagan Dental Free-Run Turkey is a grain-free dry cat food formulated for kittens and adult cats to promote dental health and reduce plaque, tartar, and bad breath.
It contains ProDen PlaqueOff®, a clinically proven ingredient made from North Atlantic seaweed.
This ingredient naturally works through the bloodstream to reduce plaque buildup.
Freshly prepared turkey (30%) and dried chicken (22.5%) provide high-quality protein, while sweet potato is a digestible carbohydrate source for sustained energy.
Essential fatty acids, sourced from salmon oil and turkey, help support skin and coat health.
This formula includes a blend of botanicals such as peppermint, parsley, and marigold, which support immune function, stress relief, and urinary health.
The addition of psyllium and fructooligosaccharides aids in digestion and supports gut health.
This nutrient-dense formula offers optimal nutrition while simultaneously addressing oral hygiene needs.
Pros:
- Dental health support: This package includes 2,500 mg/kg of ProDen PlaqueOff®, which reduces plaque and tartar while promoting gum health.
- High-quality proteins: Freshly prepared turkey (30%) and dried chicken (22.5%) provide essential amino acids for muscle development and maintenance.
- Digestive support: Contains psyllium and fructooligosaccharides, which promote gut health and improve nutrient absorption.
- Skin and coat health: Rich in omega-3 (0.8%) and omega-6 (3.5%) fatty acids, supporting a healthy coat and skin.
- Grain-free formula: This formula is suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or allergies. It relies on sweet potato as a low-glycemic carbohydrate source.
- Immune and urinary support: Botanicals such as cranberry and marigold boost immunity and promote urinary tract health.
Cons:

- Moderate fat content: Crude fat at 17% may not be ideal for overweight or less active cats.
- Relatively low moisture content: At 7%, additional water intake may be necessary for hydration and kidney support.
- Calcium-phosphorus ratio: The 1.3:1 ratio might require monitoring in long-term feeding to prevent imbalances in certain 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.
