Summary

Delcon Sterilized is a dry cat food formulated to meet the nutritional needs of sterilized cats.

It features 38% dehydrated poultry as the primary protein source, supporting muscle maintenance even with reduced activity levels.

The moderate fat content (13%) prevents excessive weight gain, making it suitable for sterilized or less active cats.

Balanced minerals and urinary acidifiers like ammonium chloride and sodium bisulfate help reduce the risk of urinary stone formation.

Inulin and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) are included to promote digestive health and maintain a balanced gut microbiome.

The addition of salmon oil and linseed oil provides omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for healthy skin and a shiny coat.

This formula is enriched with glucosamine and chondroitin, supporting joint health in adult and senior cats.

 

Pros:

  • Muscle maintenance: The high protein content (33%) of poultry and fish supports lean muscle mass in sterilized or less active cats.
  • Weight management: Moderate fat content (13%) helps prevent weight gain, aligning with the reduced energy needs of sterilized cats.
  • Urinary health: Contains urinary acidifiers like ammonium chloride and sodium bisulfate to lower the risk of urinary stones.
  • Digestive support: This supplement includes MOS (0.5%) and inulin, which are prebiotics that enhance gut health and improve nutrient absorption.
  • Healthy coat and skin: Salmon oil (1.5%) and linseed oil provide essential omega fatty acids for skin and coat health.
  • Joint care: Glucosamine and chondroitin are included to support joint health, especially in aging cats.

 

Cons:

  • High fiber content: At 7%, the fiber level may not suit all cats and could sometimes lead to digestive discomfort.
  • Moderate ash content: 7.5% crude ash may require monitoring in cats prone to urinary issues.
  • Lower fat content: Although suitable for weight control, the reduced fat level might not meet the energy needs of highly active cats.
  • Limited animal protein variety: This relies predominantly on poultry and fish, which may not be ideal for cats with specific protein sensitivities.

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.
