Product Summary

Club 4 Paws: Adult Sterilized Chicken is a premium dry cat food formulated to meet the specific nutritional needs of sterilized adult cats.

The primary ingredient is chicken meal, which comprises 24% of the formula and offers a high digestibility coefficient.

The balanced protein and fat ratio of 32% and 15%, respectively, aids in maintaining optimal body weight.

Additionally, including DL-methionine supports kidney health and liver cell repair, while a carefully balanced mineral content (Ca, P, and Mg) helps prevent urolithiasis by reducing urinary crystal formation.

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: This formula’s crude protein level of 32% supports muscle maintenance and overall health in adult cats.
  • Balanced Fat Ratio: The 15% crude fat content provides essential fatty acids and energy, promoting a healthy coat and skin.
  • Omega Fatty Acids: Including omega-3 (0.37%) and omega-6 (3.23%) fatty acids contribute to skin health and a shiny coat.
  • Natural Antioxidants: A mixture of tocopherols serves as natural antioxidants, supporting overall health.
  • INTEGRAMIX Formula: This blend, enriched with dried tomatoes, ginger, hawthorn, and bananas, enhances immunity and general well-being.

 

Cons:

  • High Carbohydrate Content: The presence of maize and rice as primary ingredients may result in a higher carbohydrate level, which is less ideal for obligate carnivores like cats.
  • Use of Maize Gluten: Maize gluten is a plant-based protein that may not be as bioavailable as animal-based proteins.
  • Inclusion of Hydrolyzed Animal Protein: Listed as the sixth ingredient, this component’s unspecified source may raise concerns for pet owners seeking transparency in ingredient quality.
  • Potential Allergenic Ingredients: Maize and poultry fat could be problematic for cats with specific food sensitivities or allergies.
  • Limited Fresh Meat Content: While chicken meal is the first ingredient, the absence of fresh meat may be a consideration for those preferring diets with whole meat sources.

Notes

The score is calculated after relocation of fresh meat or fish ingredient(s) as explained in the calculation rule #7 in Chapter 1.

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

Ingredients in this food are listed as categories rather than specific named products. This EU permitted method doesn’t allow me a proper evaluation of the food since I usually don’t have any indication of the real quality of ingredients in each listed category. Therefore I evaluate each such category as the corresponding ingredient of the worst quality: cereals = corn, meat and meat derivatives = partial by-product + unknown source of the meat, oils and fats = unknown source of the fat.

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.
