Product Summary

Club 4 Paws: Adult Veal is a premium dry cat food formulated for adult cats, featuring 32% meat ingredients, with chicken meal as the primary component at 28%.

The recipe includes 4% veal derivatives, providing a palatable flavor.

Enriched with Omega-3 (0.36%) and Omega-6 (3.32%) fatty acids, it promotes healthy skin and a shiny coat.

Adding the INTEGRAMIX formula – comprising dried tomatoes, ginger, hawthorn, and bananas – supports overall health and immunity.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 32% crude protein, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health.
  • Balanced Fat Ratio: 15% crude fat provides essential fatty acids and energy for daily activities.
  • Omega Fatty Acids: Including Omega-3 (0.36%) and Omega-6 (3.32%) fatty acids contribute to skin health and a glossy 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:

  • Limited Veal Content: Contains only 4% veal derivatives, which may be less than expected for a veal-labeled product.
  • Use of Maize and Rice: Maize and rice may be included as primary ingredients, which may result in higher carbohydrate levels, which are less ideal for obligate carnivores like cats.
  • Potential Allergens: Ingredients such as maize and poultry fat could be problematic for cats with specific food sensitivities or allergies.
  • Use of Maize Gluten: As the fourth ingredient, 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.

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.
