Gourmet Adult Cat Food Fish Formula
by EconatureSummary
Econature: Gourmet Adult Cat Food Fish Formula is a complete and balanced dry food formulated to meet the daily nutritional needs of adult cats of all breeds.
The recipe’s primary animal protein source is dehydrated fish protein (6%), which is supported by cereals and rice for carbohydrates.
Chicken fat and fish oil (1%) provide essential fatty acids for skin and coat health, while liver flavor enhances palatability.
The formula includes taurine (1000 mg/kg) and prebiotics such as MOS and beta-glucan to support heart health, digestion, and immunity.
With a crude protein content of 27% and fat content of 10%, it offers moderate energy and balanced nutrition for adult cats.
Pros:
- Digestible Protein Source: Dehydrated fish protein contributes essential amino acids for muscle maintenance and overall health.
- Essential Fatty Acids: Chicken fat and fish oil supply omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for a healthy coat and skin.
- Digestive Health Support: Includes MOS and beta-glucan to promote gut health and support immunity.
- Micronutrient Enrichment: Fortified with vitamins A, D3, and E, as well as trace minerals like zinc, copper, and selenium.
- Palatable Formula: Liver flavor enhances the taste, encouraging consistent feeding in picky cats.
Cons:
- Moderate Protein Level: At 27%, the protein content is lower than that of some premium adult cat foods.
- Low Fish Inclusion: Only 6% of the formula contains dehydrated fish protein, which may be less appealing to owners seeking a higher fish content.
- Grain Inclusion: Contains cereals and rice, which may not suit cats with grain sensitivities or those on low-carbohydrate diets.
- High Ash Content: Crude ash at 8% may indicate a higher mineral load, potentially unsuitable for cats prone to urinary health issues.

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.
