Sterilised Chicken
Summary
DaDo Sterilised Chicken is a dry cat food formulated specifically for adult sterilized cats, supporting their unique metabolic and nutritional needs with a focus on weight control, muscle maintenance, and overall wellness.
The first ingredient, dehydrated chicken, serves as the primary protein source, offering high biological value and supporting lean muscle mass in sterilized cats, who are prone to weight gain and reduced activity.
With a high crude protein content of 38% and a moderate fat level of 12%, the formula helps maintain muscle while limiting excess calorie intake, aligning with the needs of neutered cats.
The inclusion of L-carnitine (150 mg/kg) supports fat metabolism, aiding in weight management and promoting a healthy body composition.
Magnesium is controlled at 0.08%, which helps reduce the risk of urinary crystal formation, a common concern in sterilized cats.
Functional fibers from chicory pulp and insoluble vegetable fibers support digestive health and promote satiety, helping to prevent overeating.
Antioxidant-rich ingredients such as dried red fruits, hibiscus, wild rose, and grape extract provide polyphenols that help combat oxidative stress and support immune function.
Omega-3 fatty acids (0.4%) from microencapsulated fish oil contribute to the health of the skin and coat, while also offering anti-inflammatory benefits.
The formula includes taurine (2068 mg/kg), an essential amino acid that supports heart and eye health in adult cats.
Additional nutrients, such as biotin, zinc, and vitamin E, further enhance skin barrier function and coat condition, which can be affected by hormonal changes following sterilization.
Pros:
- High protein content: With a protein level of 38%, this diet supports lean muscle maintenance in sterilized adult cats with lower energy needs.
- Weight management support: L-carnitine promotes fat metabolism, helping to prevent weight gain common in neutered cats.
- Urinary health consideration: Controlled magnesium (0.08%) helps reduce the risk of urinary tract issues by supporting optimal mineral balance.
- Antioxidant-rich botanicals: Ingredients like hibiscus, wild rose, and grape extract provide polyphenols that support immune defense and cellular health.
- Digestive fiber blend: Chicory pulp and vegetable fibers aid in digestion and help regulate appetite through increased satiety.
- Skin and coat support: Omega-3 fatty acids and biotin contribute to a healthy skin barrier and shiny coat.
Cons:
- Use of corn and corn derivatives: Corn, corn gluten, and corn starch are high on the ingredient list and may be less desirable for owners seeking low-glycemic or grain-free options.
- Moderate ash content: At 7%, the ash level may be a concern for cats with kidney sensitivities or those requiring lower mineral intake.
- Multiple animal protein sources: The inclusion of chicken, fish, shrimp, and egg may limit suitability for cats with specific protein allergies or sensitivities.
- Unspecified animal protein extracts: The term lacks transparency and may raise concerns for pet owners seeking clearly defined ingredients.
- No declared calcium or phosphorus levels: The absence of these key mineral values makes it difficult to fully assess the formula’s suitability for urinary or bone health.

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.
