Summary

Canagan Free Range Chicken For Kittens & Adults is a grain-free dry cat food for all life stages, made with over 65% free range chicken to deliver a protein‑rich, low‑carbohydrate approach.

The first ingredient is Freshly Prepared Free Range Chicken (35%), supplying highly digestible animal protein to build and maintain lean muscle.

Dried chicken and dried egg add concentrated, complete proteins that bolster amino acid balance for growth, tissue repair, and everyday vitality.

At 34.5% crude protein and 20% fat with 4060 kcal/kg, the formula is energy‑dense for kittens and active cats, while adults may need measured portions to maintain ideal weight.

Chicken fat and salmon oil provide essential fatty acids, with omega‑6 at 3.4% and omega‑3 at 0.5% to support healthy skin, a glossy coat, and normal inflammatory responses.

Calcium at 1.7% and phosphorus at 1.0% provide robust mineral support for developing bones and teeth in growing kittens.

Prebiotics—mannan‑oligosaccharides and fructo‑oligosaccharides—nourish beneficial gut microbes, while psyllium and alfalfa contribute soluble and insoluble fiber to aid stool quality.

Sweet potato and potato serve as grain‑free carbohydrate sources that offer digestible energy within a low‑grain approach.

Key micronutrients—vitamin A (17,000 IU/kg), vitamin D3 (1,500 IU/kg), vitamin E (150 mg/kg), and taurine (1,300 mg/kg)—support vision and immune function, bone mineralization, antioxidant defenses, and heart and retinal health.

Botanicals such as seaweed, spinach, cranberry, chamomile, marigold, peppermint, aniseed, and fenugreek add natural phytonutrients and trace minerals that complement core nutrition.

 

Pros:

  • High animal‑protein foundation: Over 65% free range chicken with fresh (35%) and dried chicken delivers digestible, complete proteins for muscle maintenance and growth.
  • Energy‑dense for growth: 20% fat and 4060 kcal/kg provide concentrated calories well suited to kitten energy needs and smaller feeding volumes.
  • Skin and coat support: Chicken fat and salmon oil supply omega‑6 (3.4%) and omega‑3 (0.5%) to help maintain a healthy skin barrier and shiny coat.
  • Bone and tooth support: Calcium at 1.7% and phosphorus at 1.0% underpin skeletal development during growth.
  • Digestive health: MOS, FOS, psyllium, and alfalfa provide prebiotics and mixed fibers that promote balanced gut function and consistent stools.
  • Targeted micronutrients: Taurine (1,300 mg/kg) plus vitamins A, D3, and E support heart and retinal function, immunity, bone health, and antioxidant protection.

 

Cons:

  • Higher mineral load: Crude ash at 8.5% indicates a relatively high total mineral content, which may warrant caution for cats requiring restricted minerals.
  • Calorie‑rich for some adults: With 20% fat and 4060 kcal/kg, careful portion control is important for sedentary adult cats to avoid unwanted weight gain.
  • Not a single‑protein option: Contains chicken, egg, and fish oil, which may not suit cats needing a limited‑ingredient, single‑animal‑protein diet.
  • Starchy carbohydrate sources: Sweet potato and potato contribute energy but do not add animal protein, potentially raising non‑protein calories.
  • No live probiotics listed: The formula includes prebiotics (MOS/FOS) but does not specify added live probiotic cultures.

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.
