Summary

Dr. Clauder’s High Premium Kitten is a dry food made for kittens in the growth phase up to 12 months, with a nutrient-dense profile suited to regular feeding for both indoor and outdoor cats.

Its first ingredient is dried poultry protein at 26%, making poultry the primary protein source and a key contributor to the amino acids kittens need to build muscle and other body tissues.

With 33% crude protein and 22.5% crude fat, the formula supplies concentrated nutrition and energy to support rapid growth, play, and daily development.

The recipe is wheat-free, which may be helpful for owners trying to avoid wheat in kittens with known food intolerances.

Taurine is supplied at 1,500 mg/kg, a meaningful addition for normal development because cats rely on taurine to support the heart, eyes, and growing nervous system.

Calcium at 1.25% and phosphorus at 1.1% provide the major structural minerals needed for developing bones and teeth during kittenhood.

Salmon oil, linseed, and the declared omega-3 and omega-6 levels help support skin condition, coat quality, and other growth-related functions that depend on essential fatty acids.

The manufacturer also emphasizes a poultry-based taste profile, which is useful in a kitten formula because steady food intake matters during active growth.

Pros
Expand All
1

Digestive support blend

Beet pulp, chicory powder, dried yeast, and cellulose add fermentable and insoluble components that can help support stool quality and gut function in young cats.
2

B-vitamin and choline package

Choline at 3,000 mg/kg plus niacin, pantothenate, folic acid, biotin, and B vitamins help support energy metabolism and nervous system function during rapid growth.
3

Chelated zinc support

Zinc is supplied from both zinc oxide and zinc amino acid chelate, and the chelated form can improve mineral uptake for skin, coat, and enzyme support.
4

Antioxidant system

Vitamin E at 150 mg/kg, selenium at 0.2 mg/kg, and tocopherol-rich extracts provide antioxidant support that helps protect fats and body tissues from oxidation.
Cons
Expand All
1

Carbohydrate emphasis

Rice is the second ingredient at 22%, so the formula relies meaningfully on carbohydrate ingredients rather than animal ingredients alone.
2

Plant-protein contribution

Rice protein and peas add plant-derived protein, which means the stated protein level is not supplied exclusively by animal sources.
3

Limited ingredient transparency

Several ingredients, including animal fat, rice protein, liver meal, protein hydrolysate, and linseed, are listed without percentages, making the overall meat, fat, and carbohydrate balance less transparent.
4

Cellulose as low-value bulk fiber

Cellulose adds insoluble fiber and bulk but offers limited nutritional value beyond helping regulate stool movement.
5

Propyl gallate inclusion

Propyl gallate is included as a preservative, so the formula is not preserved only with tocopherols and other naturally derived antioxidants.

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.
