Canagan
Light / Senior Chicken Overweight, Senior & Sterilised Cats
Summary
Canagan Light / Senior Chicken is a grain-free dry food tailored for overweight, senior, and sterilized cats, designed to maintain lean muscle while supporting everyday vitality.
The first ingredient is Freshly Prepared Free-Range Chicken (29%), supplying highly digestible animal protein; it’s backed by salmon and dried egg to round out amino acids essential for muscle repair and maintenance.
At 35% crude protein and 18% fat with a metabolizable energy of 3900 kcal/kg, this recipe provides substantial energy and should be portion-controlled for weight-prone cats while still delivering ample protein to preserve lean body mass.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids at 1.3% and 3.5%, coming from salmon oil and chicken fat, support healthy skin and a shiny coat and offer anti-inflammatory benefits helpful for aging tissues.
L-carnitine is included to assist fat metabolism, which can help manage body weight when paired with measured feeding and regular activity.
Psyllium and prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides and mannanoligosaccharides) help nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support consistent stool quality, while potato and sweet potato provide digestible carbohydrate for steady energy.
Joint support is addressed with glucosamine (260 mg/kg), MSM (260 mg/kg), and chondroitin (190 mg/kg) to help cushion and protect aging joints under everyday wear and tear.
A targeted vitamin package—vitamin A 17,000 IU/kg, vitamin D3 1,500 IU/kg, and vitamin E 150 mg/kg—supports immune function, vision, and antioxidant defenses.
The mineral profile lists calcium at 2% and phosphorus at 1.3%, with ash at 10.5%, indicating a mineral-dense formula that may warrant care for cats with known mineral sensitivities.
Taurine is supplemented to support normal heart function and vision, an essential nutrient for all 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.
