Summary

Equilibrio Adult Hairball is a dry food formulated for adult cats, specifically focusing on reducing hairball formation, supporting digestive health, and maintaining coat quality through targeted fiber and fat ingredients.
Deboned chicken is the primary animal protein source, complemented by fish meal, poultry by-product meal, and poultry liver to deliver a robust, species-appropriate amino acid profile.
Corn, brewers rice, and corn gluten meal supply digestible carbohydrates, though they increase the plant component of the formula, contributing to overall energy density.
Powdered cellulose, psyllium, and beet pulp act as multi-source dietary fibers to trap ingested hair and promote gastrointestinal transit, minimizing the risk of hairball accumulation.
Fish oil and ground flaxseed offer omega-3 fatty acids for coat shine and skin health, while poultry fat increases palatability and supports caloric intake.
Probiotics, including Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, and Bifidobacterium strains, are incorporated to improve microbiota stability and digestive performance.
Inulin (0.55%) and MOS (0.3%) further enhance gut health by supporting beneficial bacteria, which is especially relevant for hairball-prone cats with slower transit.
Chelated minerals such as zinc, copper, and iron are included for improved absorption, supporting immune response, coat condition, and metabolic functions.
The formula contains 33% protein, 18% fat, 3.5% fiber, and 4,099 kcal/kg energy, balancing nutrient density with a functional approach to digestive and coat care.

Pros
Expand All
1

Hairball-targeted fiber blend

Cellulose, psyllium, and beet pulp combine to reduce hairball risk by supporting intestinal movement and regularity.
2

Multiple probiotic strains

Six strains of live probiotics enhance gastrointestinal flora, aiding in digestion and nutrient utilization.
3

Chelated mineral inclusion

Zinc, copper, manganese, and iron are chelated, improving their bioavailability and efficacy in supporting skin, coat, and immune health.
4

Coat and skin support

Fish oil and flaxseed provide essential omega-3s, while vitamin E (600 IU/kg) contributes antioxidant protection for skin tissues.
5

High protein level

33% crude protein from diverse animal sources helps maintain lean muscle and supports daily activity in adult cats.
Cons
Expand All
1

Grain and corn inclusions

Corn, rice, and gluten meal contribute a significant portion of the formula, which may be unsuitable for cats with grain sensitivities or those on grain-free diets.
2

Moderate ash level

At 7%, ash is within acceptable limits but may require monitoring for cats with mineral-sensitive urinary or renal concerns.
3

No joint support additives

The formula does not include glucosamine or chondroitin, which are sometimes expected in adult maintenance foods.
4

No specified fresh meat

While deboned chicken is included, the absence of fresh meat may affect the formula’s perceived quality for those preferring raw or minimally processed protein sources.

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.
