Summary

Exclusion Noble Grain, Adult Beef features dehydrated beef as its first ingredient, providing a concentrated source of high-quality animal protein to support lean muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
The single-animal-protein formula simplifies digestion and reduces dietary complexity by relying exclusively on beef, making it ideal for adult cats with sensitive stomachs or those benefiting from a mono-protein diet.
A carefully selected noble grain—rice—serves as the sole carbohydrate source, supplying steady energy while avoiding fillers like corn, wheat, or soy.
Enriched with salmon oil, the recipe provides omega-3 fatty acids that promote a glossy coat and support healthy skin cell function.
Natural fibers from psyllium husks, lignocellulose (wood substances), and chicory pulp work together to regulate hairball formation and encourage gentle intestinal transit.
Added prebiotics, such as fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS), balance the gut microflora, enhancing digestive efficiency and nutrient absorption.
A blend of Mediterranean superfoods—pomegranate, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries—provides concentrated antioxidants to neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress.
Targeted mineral levels, including controlled phosphorus and magnesium, support healthy urine pH and help reduce the risk of urinary crystal formation.
Formulated with natural tocopherol extracts for preservation, this recipe avoids artificial additives while ensuring long-lasting freshness.

Pros
Expand All
1

High Protein Content

With 32% crude protein, it supports muscle maintenance and promotes a healthy body condition.
2

Single Protein Source

Monoprotein beef reduces potential dietary allergens and simplifies digestion.
3

Omega-3 Enrichment

Salmon oil provides 0.5% omega-3 fatty acids for skin health and coat shine.
4

Gut and Hairball Support

FOS, MOS, psyllium, and lignocellulose promote regularity and minimize hairball buildup.
5

Antioxidant-Rich Superfoods

Inclusion of pomegranate and berries offers extra protection against oxidative damage.
6

Urinary Health Formula

Controlled mineral levels support a balanced urinary environment.
Cons
Expand All
1

Grain Inclusion

Rice contributes to a 36.5% carbohydrate level, which may be higher than in grain-free diets.
2

Moderate Fat Level

At 15% crude fat, the recipe may be too energy-dense for overweight or largely sedentary cats.
3

Plant Protein Digestibility

Pea protein can be less bioavailable than animal proteins and may contain lectins or phytates.
4

Limited Protein Diversity

Reliance on a single animal protein may not provide the broadest spectrum of amino acids.
5

No Live Probiotics

While it contains prebiotics, it lacks direct probiotic cultures that could further support gut flora balance.

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.
