Product Summary

Fitmin: For Life – Kitten is a complete and balanced dry food designed for kittens up to 12 months of age and for gestating and lactating cats.

The formula includes dried chicken meat (40%) and fresh chicken meat (20%), delivering 89% of its protein from animal sources to support healthy growth and muscle development.

Salmon oil (1.5%) and linseed provide omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for brain development, skin health, and a shiny coat.

Vitamins E and C, along with selenium, enhance immune system function and provide antioxidant support.

Chicory root, beet fiber, and apple pomace support digestive health, while yucca extract reduces litter box odors.

With a crude protein content of 38% and fat content of 22%, the formula offers high energy to meet the needs of growing kittens and nursing mothers.

 

Pros:

  • High Animal Protein Content: 89% of the protein comes from chicken, ensuring essential amino acids for growth and development.
  • Omega-3 Enrichment: Salmon oil (1.5%) supports brain development, joint health, and a glossy coat.
  • Immune System Support: Fortified with vitamins E and C, and selenium, to enhance immunity and combat oxidative stress.
  • Digestive Health: Chicory root, apple pomace, and beta-glucans improve gut health and nutrient absorption.
  • Energy-Rich Formula: High protein (38%) and fat (22%) provide the necessary energy for active kittens and lactating cats.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Magnesium Content: Magnesium at 0.09% may require monitoring in kittens prone to urinary issues.
  • Low Fiber: Crude fiber at 2% may not fully address hairball concerns, particularly for long-haired 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.
