Exclusion
Noble Grain, Sterilized +7 (Senior) Chicken
Summary
Exclusion Noble Grain, Sterilized +7 (Senior) Chicken is a complete and balanced dry food designed to support the nutritional needs of sterilized senior cats over seven years old.
Featuring dehydrated chicken as the primary ingredient, this monoprotein formula provides high-quality animal protein for maintaining lean muscle and promoting easy digestibility.
A single noble grain source, rice, provides digestible carbohydrates and helps maintain healthy energy levels without overloading the urinary tract.
Natural antioxidants from a Mediterranean superfood blend of pomegranate, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries help neutralize free radicals and support cellular health.
Salmon oil supplies omega-3 fatty acids that enhance skin barrier integrity and promote a glossy coat in aging felines.
Psyllium husks and lignocellulose are included as natural fibers to prevent hairball formation and assist their safe passage through the digestive tract.
A prebiotic system of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) balances intestinal microbiota, improving nutrient absorption and digestive comfort.
This formula also features dried chicory pulp for gentle fiber support and hydrolysed animal proteins to enhance palatability and amino acid availability.
With precise mineral levels, including controlled magnesium and phosphorus, it helps maintain urinary tract health and reduces the risk of crystal formation.
Natural tocopherol extracts preserve freshness without synthetic preservatives, ensuring palatability and nutrient stability over time.
Pros:
- High-Quality Monoprotein: Dehydrated chicken provides a single, easily digestible protein source ideal for cats with food sensitivities.
- Antioxidant Support: Mediterranean superfoods rich in polyphenols help protect cells against oxidative stress everyday in senior cats.
- Hairball Control: Psyllium and lignocellulose promote natural hairball elimination, reducing gastrointestinal blockages.
- Digestive Balance: FOS and MOS prebiotics promote a healthy gut flora, supporting nutrient absorption and maintaining stool consistency.
- Skin & Coat Health: Salmon oil’s omega-3 fatty acids nourish the skin and enhance coat shine in mature felines.
Cons:
- Carbohydrate Content: At 34.2%, higher carbs may contribute to weight gain or blood sugar fluctuations in less active seniors.
- Plant Protein Source: Peas offer added protein but can be less digestible and may trigger sensitivities in some cats.
- Moderate Fat Level: A 12% fat content may not supply sufficient calories or essential fats for very active older cats.
- Crude Fiber: Five percent fiber can be excessive for some individuals, potentially leading to softer stools or reduced nutrient absorption.
- Lignocellulose Inclusion: Wood-based fiber aids hairball control but provides no nutritional value and slightly dilutes overall nutrient density.

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.
