Exclusion
Noble Grain, Sterilized Chicken
Summary
Exclusion Noble Grain, Sterilized Chicken is a complete and balanced dry cat food formulated with dehydrated chicken as its first ingredient to deliver highly digestible protein for lean muscle maintenance.
The monoprotein approach minimizes the risk of dietary sensitivities by focusing on a single high-quality animal protein source that meets the requirements of adult sterilized cats.
Adding rice as the sole cereal provides a controlled release of carbohydrates to meet energy needs while avoiding common allergens such as wheat, soy, and corn.
Natural antioxidants found in Mediterranean superfoods, such as pomegranate, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, help neutralize free radicals and support cellular health.
Psyllium husks and lignocellulose offer natural fiber to promote healthy digestion and prevent hairball formation in both indoor and outdoor cats.
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) work as prebiotics to balance the intestinal microbiome and enhance nutrient absorption.
Salmon oil enriches the formula with omega-3 fatty acids, contributing to skin health and a glossy coat.
DL-methionine supports urine acidification while taurine ensures proper heart function and vision health for sterilized adult cats.
Tocopherol extracts serve as natural preservatives, maintaining freshness without the use of synthetic additives.
The targeted blend of essential vitamins and minerals helps uphold overall wellness and urinary tract health.
Pros:
- High-quality protein: Dehydrated chicken as the sole animal protein provides essential amino acids for muscle maintenance.
- Urinary support: DL-methionine helps maintain acidic urine pH and mineral balance to support urinary tract health.
- Hairball management: Psyllium husks and lignocellulose promote hair transit and reduce hairball formation.
- Digestive health: Fructo- and mannan-oligosaccharides encourage beneficial gut bacteria and support nutrient absorption.
- Antioxidant protection: A blend of pomegranate, berries, and tocopherols neutralizes free radicals to protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Skin and coat enhancement: Salmon oil provides omega-3 fatty acids to enhance skin health and improve coat shine.
Cons:
- High carbohydrate load: At 33.4% carbohydrates, this formula may not align with the low-carb dietary needs of obligate carnivores and could affect blood sugar stability.
- Presence of peas: While peas offer plant-based protein and fiber, they can sometimes cause digestive upset in sensitive cats.
- Inclusion of rice: Using rice as the sole grain may not be suitable for cats with rice-specific sensitivities or those on strict grain-restricted diets.
- Moderate fiber level: A 5% crude fiber content might be insufficient for optimal stool consistency in some 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. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
