Summary

Dicat Up Kitty Chicken & Rice is a complete and balanced dry food tailored for kittens up to 12 months and pregnant or lactating cats.

The recipe features 30% dehydrated chicken, 5% turkey, and ultra-hydrolyzed chicken liver, offering high-quality protein for optimal growth and muscle development.

Incorporating 25% rice, this formula provides easily digestible carbohydrates to support energy needs and digestive health.

Natural plant extracts, including chamomile, rosemary, and yucca, promote digestion, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance palatability.

The inclusion of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids from blue fish oil ensures a shiny coat and healthy skin, while yeast (MOS) and chicory root (FOS) support gut health.

This nutrient-dense recipe is further enriched with taurine, essential vitamins, and minerals to meet the developmental needs of kittens and support maternal health.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 40% crude protein sourced from chicken and turkey to support healthy growth and muscle development.
  • Energy-Dense Formula: With a metabolizable energy of 3,957.5 kcal/kg, it meets the high energy demands of kittens and lactating cats.
  • Digestive Health: Natural plant extracts, chicory root (FOS), and yeast (MOS) improve gut health and aid nutrient absorption.
  • Skin and Coat Support: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids from blue fish oil promote a shiny coat and healthy skin.
  • Comprehensive Nutrition: Enriched with taurine, calcium, and vitamins (A, D3, E) to support vision, bone strength, and overall development.

 

Cons:

  • High Fat Content: Crude fat level of 20% may not suit kittens with specific dietary fat restrictions.
  • Fiber Levels: Crude fiber at 1.5% may not be sufficient for kittens with particular digestive or hairball management needs.
  • Ash Content: At 7%, the crude ash level might be high for cats requiring diets with reduced mineral content for urinary health.
  • Caloric Density: High energy density necessitates precise portioning to avoid overfeeding in less active kittens or cats.

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.
