Summary

Delcon Sensitive with Lamb is a grain-free dry cat food positioned for all life stages and for both indoor and outdoor cats.
The first ingredient is dehydrated chicken (29%), making chicken the primary protein source, with lamb (4%) included as an additional animal protein to diversify amino acids and palatability.
At 31% crude protein and 18% fat with an energy density of 4095 kcal/kg, it is calorie-rich to support active or outdoor cats while helping maintain lean muscle.
Sweet potato, potato flakes, peas, and split peas provide digestible carbohydrates and functional fiber, though they also contribute plant-derived protein alongside the animal proteins.
Animal fat from chicken (12%) and liver hydrolysate boost palatability and supply concentrated energy and essential fatty acids for skin and coat health.
Digestive support comes from dried chicory (1% FOS/inulin), beet pulp, and yeast-derived MOS and beta-glucans (0.5%), which help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, promote consistent stools, and support immune defenses.
Salmon oil (0.5%) and linseed add omega-3 sources that aid skin and coat condition and help modulate normal inflammatory responses.
DL-methionine (5000 mg) and a managed mineral profile (calcium 1.2%, phosphorus 0.9%) support urinary tract health by encouraging favorable urine characteristics.
Taurine at 2500 mg supports normal heart and eye function, while vitamin E (500 mg/kg) plus natural tocopherols provide antioxidant protection against oxidative stress.
L-carnitine (50 mg) contributes to fat metabolism, and glucosamine and chondroitin (each 100 mg/kg) supply building blocks for joint cartilage maintenance.

Pros
Expand All
1

Animal-protein led

Dehydrated chicken as the first ingredient (29%) with added lamb (4%) provides highly digestible proteins and a broader amino acid spectrum.
2

Digestive and immune support

Chicory root (FOS/inulin), beet pulp, and yeast-derived MOS/beta-glucans foster beneficial gut microbiota, stool quality, and immune function.
3

Urinary health support

DL-methionine (5000 mg) and controlled minerals (calcium 1.2%, phosphorus 0.9%) help maintain a urine environment less favorable to crystal formation.
4

Skin and coat nourishment

Salmon oil (0.5%) and linseed provide omega-3 sources that support a healthy skin barrier and glossy coat.
5

Antioxidant and essential nutrient strength

Vitamin E at 500 mg/kg and natural tocopherols offer oxidative stress protection, while taurine at 2500 mg supports cardiac and retinal health.
6

Energy and metabolism

The 4095 kcal/kg energy density and 18% fat deliver fuel for active cats, with L-carnitine (50 mg) assisting normal fat utilization.
Cons
Expand All
1

Not single-protein

Despite the name highlighting lamb, chicken is the primary protein source, which may not suit cats that must avoid chicken.
2

Higher carbohydrate and plant-protein contribution

Sweet potato, potato, peas, and split peas increase carbohydrate intake and add plant proteins that can dilute the share of animal-derived protein.
3

Calorie-dense for sedentary cats

With 4095 kcal/kg and 18% fat, careful portion control is needed for less-active indoor cats or those prone to weight gain.
4

Omega-3 level not specified

While omega sources are present, the diet lists only 0.5% salmon oil and does not quantify total omega-3s, making benefits hard to gauge.
5

No live probiotics listed

Gut support relies on prebiotics and yeast derivatives rather than guaranteed live probiotic cultures.

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.
