Product Summary

Club 4 Paws Adult Hairball Control Chicken is a premium dry cat food specifically formulated to help adult cats manage hairballs while maintaining overall health and well-being.

The formula contains 32% crude protein, with 24% chicken meal as the primary ingredient. It offers high-quality, digestible protein to support muscle health and daily energy needs.

Insoluble fiber (2.92% cellulose) helps remove hairballs from the digestive tract and stimulates intestinal motility, naturally aiding hairball elimination.

Omega-3 (0.41%) and omega-6 (4.38%) fatty acids, derived from salmon oil and linseed, promote healthy skin and a shiny coat. They also reduce excess shedding, which contributes to hairball formation.

The INTEGRAMIX formula, which includes dried tomatoes, ginger, hawthorn, and bananas, boosts immunity and supports holistic health.

This formula is fortified with essential vitamins (D3, E, B-complex), taurine, and minerals to enhance immune function, vision, and cardiovascular health.

 

Pros:

  • Hairball Management: Contains 2.92% cellulose, an insoluble fiber that aids in hairball removal and stimulates healthy digestion.
  • High-Quality Protein: Includes 32% crude protein, with 24% chicken meal as the primary ingredient, supporting muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
  • Skin and Coat Health: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids help maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat, reducing excess shedding that contributes to hairball formation.
  • Immune System Boost: The INTEGRAMIX formula enhances immunity and overall health with natural antioxidants and nutrient-rich ingredients.
  • Nutritional Fortification: Enriched with vitamins (D3, E, B-complex), taurine (2,400 mg/kg), and minerals to support vision, cardiovascular health, and immunity.

 

Cons:

  • Carbohydrate Content: Includes rice, maize, and maize gluten, which contribute significant carbohydrates that may not align with the natural dietary needs of obligate carnivores.
  • Moderate Fresh Meat Content: Relies on 24% chicken meal instead of incorporating higher amounts of fresh or whole meat ingredients.
  • Low Omega-3 Levels: While omega-6 content is robust, omega-3 levels (0.41%) are moderate, limiting anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Artificial Preservatives: This product contains EU-permitted antioxidants and preservatives, which may not appeal to pet owners seeking entirely natural formulations.
  • No Probiotics: While prebiotics are included, the absence of live probiotics may limit digestive support for cats 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.
Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
