Summary

Equilibrio Long Hair Hairball Adult is a dry food tailored for adult long‑haired cats to help manage hairballs while supporting everyday health for both indoor and outdoor lifestyles.
The first ingredient is deboned chicken, providing a primary animal protein foundation, complemented by fish meal and poultry ingredients to supply essential amino acids for lean muscle maintenance.
At 32% crude protein and 21% fat with a metabolizable energy of 4,244 kcal/kg, the recipe is energy‑dense, suiting active cats that need higher caloric support.
A targeted hairball control system uses functional fibers—such as powdered cellulose, beet pulp, psyllium, and inulin—plus mineral oil to help move ingested hair through the gut and reduce hairball formation.
Omega‑6 and omega‑3 fatty acids at 4% and 0.8%, sourced from poultry fat, fish oil, and ground flaxseed, nourish skin and promote a glossy coat—important for long‑haired breeds.
A multi‑strain probiotic blend, including Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, L. lactis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Bacillus subtilis, supports digestive balance and stool quality.
DL‑methionine (5,700 mg/kg) and potassium citrate contribute nutrients commonly used to help manage urinary mineral balance and support a healthy urinary environment.
Sodium hexametaphosphate helps bind salivary minerals, which can limit tartar accumulation on teeth between dental cleanings.
Taurine (minimum 1,800 mg/kg) supports heart and eye function, while L‑carnitine aids fat metabolism and helps maintain lean condition.
Vitamins A (25,000 IU/kg), D3 (2,500 IU/kg), and E (600 IU/kg), together with chelated trace minerals like zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium, provide robust antioxidant support and reliable micronutrient delivery.

Pros
Expand All
1

Animal-first protein foundation

Deboned chicken leads the recipe, with additional animal sources providing complete amino acids for muscle maintenance.
2

Hairball management system

Functional fibers (cellulose, beet pulp, psyllium, inulin) plus mineral oil help move hair through the GI tract and reduce hairball formation.
3

Skin and coat support

Omega‑6 (4%) and omega‑3 (0.8%) from poultry fat, fish oil, and flaxseed promote a healthy skin barrier and shiny coat.
4

Digestive health and microbiome

Multi‑strain probiotics (E. faecium, Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium, Bacillus subtilis) help stabilize gut flora and support stool quality.
5

Urinary and dental care

DL‑methionine and potassium citrate support urinary mineral balance, while sodium hexametaphosphate helps limit tartar accumulation.
6

Strong antioxidant and micronutrient fortification

Vitamin E (600 IU/kg), vitamins A and D3, and chelated trace minerals back immune function and dependable nutrient absorption.
Cons
Expand All
1

High caloric density

With 21% fat and 4,244 kcal/kg, the formula may be excessive for less active or overweight cats without careful portion control.
2

Plant-derived ingredients present

Corn gluten meal and brewers rice add plant protein and carbohydrates, which may not suit owners seeking predominantly animal-based or lower‑carb diets.
3

Moderate-to-high mineral load

Crude ash at 7.5% is on the higher side, which may be a consideration for cats that require controlled mineral intake.
4

Multiple animal protein sources

The combination of chicken, poultry ingredients, and fish can limit suitability for cats that need single‑protein, limited‑ingredient diets.
5

Use of by-product meal

Poultry by‑product meal can be nutritionally useful but may vary in composition compared with named muscle meats.

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.
