Pros:
- High protein content: 32% crude protein, primarily from chicken and poultry, supporting muscle growth and overall development.
- Rich in energy: Includes 16% crude fats, providing the high caloric needs of growing kittens.
- Digestive support: Features prebiotics and mannan oligosaccharides, which enhance gut health and nutrient absorption.
- Taurine fortified: Contains 1,200 mg of taurine to support cardiovascular and eye health.
- Omega fatty acids inclusion: Fish oil contributes to healthy skin and a shiny coat.
- Low ash content: With only 4% ash, it avoids excessive mineral load, ensuring a balanced diet.
Cons:
- Use of rice derivatives: This method relies on rice and rice derivatives, which may contribute to a higher carbohydrate content that is less ideal for obligate carnivores.
- Unspecified fish source: Includes hydrolyzed fish and fish oil without detailed sourcing, making the quality unclear.
- Limited fresh meat content: Relies on processed poultry proteins rather than fresh meat for protein.
- No fiber emphasis: Only 2% crude cellulose may not fully support optimal digestive health for some kittens.
- Vitamin D levels: Vitamin D is lower than some kitten formulas, which may not provide maximum bone and teeth benefits.
- Unspecified antioxidant sources: These contain antioxidants without clarity on their type or origin.

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.
