Product Summary

Chicopee Classic Adult Outdoor Rich in Fresh Poultry is a dry cat food formulated specifically for active adult cats who spend significant time outdoors. The formula is anchored by 20% fresh poultry, providing high-quality protein to support muscle maintenance. With 32.5% crude protein and 15.5% crude fat, it offers balanced nutrition supporting energy levels and muscle health. The inclusion of Omega-3 (0.4%) and Omega-6 (1.7%) fatty acids helps promote a healthy coat and skin, essential for outdoor cats exposed to various environmental conditions.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: The food contains 32.5% crude protein, which is essential for maintaining muscle mass in active cats, particularly from fresh poultry and other animal proteins.
  • Balanced Fatty Acid Profile: The inclusion of Omega-3 (0.4%) and Omega-6 (1.7%) fatty acids supports skin health and coat quality, which is crucial for outdoor cats.
  • Energy-Dense Formula: With 15.5% crude fat, the formula provides the necessary energy for active outdoor cats, ensuring they stay fueled throughout their activities.

 

Cons:

  • High Ash Content: The formula has 7% crude ash, which may be higher than some cat owners prefer, potentially increasing the risk of urinary issues in certain cats.
  • Inclusion of Grains: The presence of wheat and barley might not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or those on grain-free diets.
  • Moderate Fiber Content: The 3% crude fiber may be on the lower side for cats needing additional digestive support, particularly those with sensitive stomachs.

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.
