Summary
Equilibrio Kitten is formulated as a complete dry food designed to meet the nutritional needs of growing kittens during their rapid development phase.
Deboned chicken is listed as the first ingredient, serving as a highly digestible and species-appropriate source of animal protein to support lean muscle growth.
The formula provides 35% crude protein and 20% crude fat, delivering the elevated caloric density and amino acid profile required for kittens’ high metabolic demands.
DHA is included at 0.2%, offering essential support for brain development and cognitive function during early growth stages.
Multiple strains of probiotics, including Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Bacillus subtilis, contribute to a stable gut flora, supporting digestive efficiency and nutrient absorption.
Prebiotic fibers such as inulin, mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS), and beet pulp further enhance gastrointestinal health and promote consistent stool quality.
Yucca Schidigera extract is incorporated to help minimize stool odor by reducing intestinal ammonia levels.
Calcium and phosphorus are balanced at 1.2% and 0.8% respectively to support healthy bone growth and skeletal development.
The formula also includes a comprehensive vitamin and chelated mineral complex to support immune function, cellular growth, and metabolic balance during the growth stage.
Pros:
High protein content: 35% crude protein sourced from deboned chicken, fish meal, and poultry by-products helps fuel rapid growth and muscle development.
Cognitive support: DHA at 0.2% plays a critical role in neurological development and cognitive function in kittens.
Gut health support: A robust blend of prebiotics and probiotics stabilizes intestinal flora and promotes optimal digestion.
Odor control: Yucca Schidigera helps reduce litter box odor by lowering ammonia production in the gut.
Comprehensive micronutrient profile: Balanced levels of vitamins A, C, D3, E, and chelated minerals aid in immune development, bone health, and metabolic function.
Energy-dense formula: With 4204 kcal/kg, it provides sufficient calories to meet the high energy demands of growing kittens.
Cons:
Calorie-dense: The high energy density may require careful portion control as kittens mature to avoid excessive weight gain.
Use of plant ingredients: Inclusion of corn, corn gluten meal, and multiple plant-based fillers may not appeal to owners seeking more simplified, limited-ingredient diets.
No joint-specific support: The absence of glucosamine or chondroitin may offer limited proactive joint protection as kittens grow.
Ash content: At 7%, mineral levels may need monitoring for kittens with urinary sensitivities.
Multiple protein sources: While diverse, the use of poultry by-products may not fully satisfy owners seeking exclusively named whole meat ingredients.

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.
