Summary

Exclusion Noble Grain, Kitten Chicken features Dehydrated chicken as the first ingredient in this kitten formula, providing concentrated animal protein and essential amino acids to support lean muscle growth and overall development.
A single noble grain of high-quality rice serves as the exclusive carbohydrate source, offering steady energy release and gentle digestion without relying on corn, wheat, or soy.
The moderate fat level includes pork fat and salmon oil, which supply omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to promote healthy skin, coat shine, and cognitive development.
Natural antioxidants from pomegranate, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries help neutralize free radicals, supporting cellular health and immune resilience during the early growth phase.
A blend of fructo-oligosaccharides and mannan-oligosaccharides functions as prebiotics, helping to balance the intestinal microbiome and improve nutrient absorption, as well as enhance digestive comfort.
Psyllium husks, seeds, and lignocellulose derived from wood substances contribute gentle fiber to reduce hairball formation and facilitate the natural expulsion of hairballs.
The recipe maintains specific mineral ratios, including calcium and phosphorus, to support bone development while helping maintain urinary tract health.
Natural tocopherol extracts ensure freshness without synthetic preservatives, making it a clear and essential recipe well-suited for both indoor and outdoor kittens.

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.
