Product Summary

Chicopee Holistic HNL Adult Hair & Skin is a premium dry food that promotes healthy skin and a shiny, vibrant coat in adult cats, particularly suitable for purebred cats.

The recipe includes poultry (34%) as a primary protein source and salmon (4%), providing high-quality proteins and essential omega fatty acids.

Enriched with 1.5% salmon oil, it supports an elegant coat, while added 9.5% liver enhances palatability for a special taste experience.

This formula features a blend of vitamins and trace elements, including vitamin A, vitamin E, and zinc, to support skin vitality and coat health.

Cranberry, blueberry, and chicory powder contribute antioxidants and prebiotics to promote digestive health and overall wellness.

The inclusion of green-lipped mussels and beta-glucans provides joint support and enhances immune function for active, healthy cats.

 

Pros:

  • Skin and Coat Health: This product contains omega-3 (0.9%) and omega-6 (2.5%) fatty acids, along with salmon oil, to promote a shiny and healthy coat.
  • Digestive Support: Features prebiotics such as chicory powder and mannan oligosaccharides to enhance gut health and nutrient absorption.
  • Immune Boosting: Enriched with beta-glucans and antioxidants like cranberries and blueberries to strengthen the immune system.
  • Palatability: The inclusion of 9.5% liver (fresh and dried) ensures an appealing taste for fussy eaters.
  • Joint Health: Green-lipped mussels provide natural glucosamine and chondroitin to support joint mobility.

 

Cons:

  • High-Fat Content: At 19.5%, the formula may not suit cats requiring a low-fat diet or prone to obesity.
  • Ash Level: A crude ash content of 7.2% might not be ideal for cats needing a diet lower in mineral content for urinary health.
  • Specialized Focus: Designed for skin and coat health, it may not fully address other specific health needs.
  • Protein Sensitivity: Because it contains multiple protein sources (poultry, salmon, liver), it may not suit cats with protein allergies or sensitivities.

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.
