Noble Grain, Sterilized Tuna
Summary
Exclusion Noble Grain, Sterilized Tuna is a complete and balanced dry cat food designed specifically for sterilized adult cats and both indoor and outdoor lifestyles.
Dehydrated tuna is the first ingredient, providing a concentrated source of marine protein that supports healthy muscle maintenance and rich taurine levels for heart and vision health.
The formula includes a single noble grain, rice, to deliver digestible carbohydrates and stabilize blood sugar without common allergens like wheat or corn.
Salmon oil contributes omega-3 fatty acids to nourish skin, enhance coat shine, and support cognitive and joint function.
Added psyllium husks and lignocellulose work together to trap and propel swallowed hair, reducing hairball formation and promoting gastrointestinal comfort.
Prebiotic fibers such as chicory-derived inulin, FOS, and MOS foster a balanced gut microbiome for efficient nutrient absorption and firmer stools.
A proprietary blend of pomegranate, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries introduces natural antioxidants to neutralize free radicals and protect cellular health.
Natural vitamin E from tocopherol-rich botanical extracts ensures product freshness while providing additional antioxidant support.
This recipe excludes chicken fat, soy, and corn, making it a streamlined choice for cats with sensitivities to common fillers and additives.
Pros:
- High-quality protein: Dehydrated tuna delivers concentrated essential amino acids and taurine critical for muscle, heart and eye health.
- Digestive support: Inulin, FOS and MOS prebiotics from chicory and yeast promote healthy gut flora and regular bowel movements.
- Hairball control: Psyllium husks and lignocellulose fibers help capture and move hair through the digestive tract to minimize hairball buildup.
- Antioxidant-rich superfoods: Native Mediterranean fruits like pomegranate and berries supply polyphenols that support immune and cellular health.
- Healthy skin and coat: Salmon oil provides omega-3 fatty acids to maintain skin barrier function and enhance coat luster.
- Urinary tract care: Balanced mineral profile, including moderate magnesium content, supports urinary health in sterilized cats.
Cons:
- Moderate carbohydrate level: At 34% carbohydrates, the diet may be too high for cats requiring very low-carb formulas.
- Fat content: A 12% crude fat level may not meet the energy needs of highly active or growing cats.
- Single grain source: Reliance on rice may pose glycemic concerns for cats sensitive to high-GI carbohydrates.
- Legume inclusion: Peas add plant-based protein and fiber but can trigger sensitivities in some cats.
- Mineral ash: 7% crude ash indicates elevated mineral content, which could challenge cats with certain kidney or urinary conditions.

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.
