Tender & Crunchy Combo Dry Cat Food With Flavors of Chicken, Beef, Carrots & Green Beans
Summary
Friskies: Tender & Crunchy Combo Dry Cat Food With Flavors of Chicken, Beef, Carrots & Green Beans is built on a foundation of ground yellow corn, which delivers easily digestible carbohydrates to fuel cats’ playful bursts.
Chicken by-product meal provides high-quality protein to support the health and maintenance of lean muscle in adult cats.
This formula combines real chicken and beef flavors accented with dried carrots and green beans to introduce natural vitamins and fiber for digestive balance.
Animal fat preserved with mixed tocopherols ensures that essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, are retained, promoting a glossy coat and healthy skin.
Added taurine, a vital amino acid, supports clear vision and cardiovascular function for lifelong vitality.
A precise blend of vitamins A, E, D3, and trace minerals, including selenium and zinc, works together to bolster immune defenses and cellular health.
With a 30 percent crude protein level and 11 percent crude fat, this kibble offers a balanced nutrient profile that aligns with adult cats’ moderate energy requirements.
Antioxidants, including those found in vitamin E and carotenoids, in carrots help neutralize free radicals, supporting long-term health at a cellular level.
The combination of meat and bone meal provides natural sources of calcium and phosphorus, supporting strong bones and teeth in both indoor and outdoor adult 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.
