Product Summary

Croque Adult Chicken Formula is a complete and balanced dry food designed to meet the daily nutritional needs of adult cats aged 1 year and older.

The recipe’s primary protein source is 28% processed chicken protein, which supports muscle maintenance and overall vitality.

Enriched with prebiotic MOS and beta-glucan, it promotes digestive health and strengthens the immune system by combating free radicals.

A blend of wheat, corn, and rice provides digestible carbohydrates to support energy needs, while chicken fat enhances palatability and energy density.

Fortified with taurine, vitamins A, D, and E, and essential minerals, it ensures comprehensive support for vision, immunity, and overall well-being.

 

Pros:

  • Moderate protein content: Contains 27% crude protein from processed chicken protein to support muscle maintenance in adult cats.
  • Digestive health: Includes prebiotic MOS and beta-glucan to support gut health and nutrient absorption.
  • Immune support: Enriched with antioxidants to combat free radicals and support overall immunity.
  • Vitamin-rich formula: Fortified with vitamins A, D, and E for overall vitality and well-being.
  • Balanced fat content: Contains 10% crude fat, providing sufficient energy for the average adult cat.
  • Palatability: Liver flavor enhances taste, appealing to selective eaters.

 

Cons:

  • Grain inclusion: Contains wheat and corn, which may not suit cats with grain sensitivities or allergies.
  • No fresh meat inclusion: Relies on processed chicken protein rather than fresh or minimally processed meat sources.
  • Limited omega fatty acid details: The formula does not specify the levels of omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids needed for skin and coat health.
  • Higher ash content: Contains 8% crude ash, which may not suit cats requiring lower mineral intake.
  • Unspecified animal protein source: The inclusion of processed animal protein lacks transparency regarding its type or 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.
