Summary

Genesis Pure Canada Adult Hair & Skin is a dry cat food specifically formulated to support the health of your cat’s skin and coat, suitable for both indoor and outdoor lifestyles.
The first ingredient is fresh chicken, a high-quality animal protein source that provides essential amino acids for maintaining muscle and promoting overall vitality.
Fresh salmon and trout further enhance the protein profile while contributing natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are critical for maintaining healthy skin and a glossy coat.
With a crude protein level of 32.5% and fat content of 20%, the formula offers a high-energy density (4025 kcal/kg), making it appropriate for active adult cats with higher caloric needs.
Salmon oil, included at 1%, is a concentrated source of EPA and DHA, which help reduce skin inflammation and support coat shine.
Dehydrated liver and hydrolyzed protein enhance palatability and provide bioavailable nutrients, while plasma protein contributes functional proteins that may support immune function.
Plantain, pumpkin, and psyllium offer dietary fiber that aids in digestion and helps regulate stool quality.
Added biotin (275 mcg/kg), vitamin E (150 mg/kg), and zinc (70 mg/kg total from two sources) work synergistically to support skin barrier function and reduce shedding.
Antioxidant-rich ingredients like cranberry, blueberry, and marigold blooms provide natural polyphenols that help combat oxidative stress.
Taurine, at 2000 mg/kg, supports heart and eye health, which are essential for adult feline well-being.

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.
