Cage Free Duck Meal & Blueberries Formula
Summary
FirstMate Cage Free Duck Meal & Blueberries Formula is a grain-free, limited-ingredient dry cat food designed to support the nutritional needs of cats at all life stages, including both indoor and outdoor lifestyles.
The first ingredient, duck meal, is a concentrated source of high-quality animal protein that supports lean muscle maintenance and overall feline health.
As a single-protein formula using cage-free duck from France, it is particularly suitable for cats with food sensitivities or allergies to common proteins like chicken or beef.
With a crude protein content of 36% and fat at 16%, the formula provides a nutrient-dense profile that supports energy needs, muscle development, and healthy skin and coat.
Blueberries are included as a natural source of antioxidants and may contribute to urinary tract health by supporting a healthy urinary pH.
Brewer’s dried yeast offers B-vitamins and supports immune function and skin health, while DL-methionine helps acidify urine, further supporting urinary tract wellness.
The absence of peas, grains, and legumes makes this formula easier to digest for cats with sensitive stomachs or dietary restrictions.
Chicken fat, preserved with mixed tocopherols, provides a stable source of energy and essential fatty acids for skin and coat health.
The calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 1.5:1.0 is within recommended guidelines to support bone health and metabolic balance.
Formulated by veterinarians and compliant with AAFCO standards, this diet ensures complete and balanced nutrition for kittens, adults, and senior 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.
