Product Summary

Edgard & Cooper’s Fresh Duck and Chicken is a grain-free dry cat food formulated for growing kittens and sterilized cats.

The recipe features fresh, free-range chicken (40%) and free-run duck (10%) as primary protein sources, ensuring high-quality, easily digestible nutrition.

The inclusion of prebiotics supports a healthy gut, while added glucosamine promotes strong joint development.

A blend of fruits, vegetables, and botanicals provides essential vitamins and minerals, contributing to overall feline health.

 

Pros:

  • High-Quality Protein: This formula supports muscle development and maintenance, with a 32% crude protein content primarily sourced from fresh, free-range chicken and free-run duck.
  • Grain-Free Formula: The absence of grains makes this food suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or allergies, potentially reducing digestive issues.
  • Digestive Support: The addition of prebiotics, such as chicory (1%) and yeasts (1.5%), aids in maintaining a healthy digestive system, promoting optimal nutrient absorption.
  • Joint Health: Enriched with glucosamine, this formula supports joint health, which is crucial for active kittens and aging cats.
  • Natural Ingredients: The inclusion of fruits like blueberries and herbs such as rose flowers and rosehip provides natural sources of vitamins and minerals, supporting overall health without artificial additives.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: With a crude fat content of 18%, this formula may not be suitable for cats requiring a low-fat diet.
  • Limited Fiber Content: The crude fiber content is 2.5%, which may be lower than some other formulas, potentially affecting digestive health in certain cats.
  • Caloric Density: At 404 kcal per 100g, careful portion control is necessary to prevent overfeeding, especially in less active 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.
