Summary

Dr. Clauder’s High Premium Adult Grainfree is a grain-free dry food formulated for adult cats 1–8 years old, especially those with sensitive stomachs.
The first ingredient, Poultry (Fresh) at 20%, is paired with 20% dried poultry protein to provide highly digestible, animal-based protein that helps maintain lean muscle and appealing flavor.
Additional animal sources—liver meal, salmon protein (4%), and whole egg (1%)—round out the amino acid profile and boost palatability.
At 32% crude protein and 15% fat, the nutrient profile supports daily maintenance energy needs and muscle upkeep in adult cats.
Potato flour and potato starch, together with buckwheat (5%), supply digestible carbohydrates while keeping the recipe free of cereal grains.
Digestive comfort is supported by functional fibers and prebiotics such as dried beet pulp and chicory powder, plus mannan-oligosaccharides and yeast that help nourish beneficial gut bacteria.
The mineral balance—calcium 1.35%, phosphorus 1.2%, and sodium 0.4%—and a formulation aimed at a cat-appropriate urinary pH work together to support urinary health.
Added taurine helps maintain normal heart function and eyesight, an essential requirement for feline health.
Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids (2.9% and 0.85%) from poultry fat, salmon oil (0.5%), linseed, and safflower oil promote healthy skin and a glossy coat.
The brand states that 1 kg of this dry food delivers the nutritional value of 920 g of fresh meat, emphasizing its focus on animal-sourced nutrition.

Pros
Expand All
1

Animal-first protein focus

Fresh poultry (20%) and dried poultry protein (20%) supply highly digestible amino acids for lean muscle support and palatability.
2

Digestive and prebiotic support

Dried beet pulp, chicory powder, mannan-oligosaccharides, yeast, and cellulose provide functional fibers that feed beneficial gut bacteria and help promote regular stools.
3

Omega fatty acids for skin and coat

Measured omega-6 (2.9%) and omega-3 (0.85%) from poultry fat, salmon oil, linseed, and safflower oil contribute to skin barrier integrity and a shiny coat.
4

Taurine enrichment

Added taurine supports normal heart function and vision, meeting a key feline requirement.
5

Urinary health considerations

Controlled minerals (calcium 1.35%, phosphorus 1.2%, sodium 0.4%) and a formulation aimed at cat-appropriate urinary pH support urinary tract wellness.
6

Robust micronutrient fortification

Vitamin A (18,000 IU), D3 (1,500 IU), E (145 mg), comprehensive B‑complex, and choline (3,300 mg) aid vision, bone health, antioxidant defense, energy metabolism, and fat transport in the liver.
Cons
Expand All
1

Moderate-to-high ash

At 7.9%, ash is on the higher side and may warrant caution for cats with known kidney or urinary sensitivities.
2

Starch-forward carbohydrates

Potato flour and potato starch (plus buckwheat) are key carbohydrate sources, which may not align with very low-carbohydrate feeding preferences.
3

Multiple animal proteins

Poultry, salmon, egg, and liver make this less suitable for cats needing single-protein, limited-ingredient diets for food sensitivities.
4

Modest marine omega-3 contribution

With salmon oil at 0.5% and linseed providing mainly ALA (which cats convert poorly to EPA/DHA), the long-chain omega-3 supply may be limited.
5

Calorie data not listed

Metabolizable energy (ME) is not provided, making precise portion planning and weight control less straightforward.
6

Undeclared taurine amount

While taurine is added, the exact level is not specified for assessing the margin above minimum requirements.

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.
